SkyLens Aerial Imaging is now accepting applications for an aerial mapping pilot for five open positions for the upcoming season. Aircraft are C172 P and M models. (For those of you familiar with Pictometry vendors, these are some of the former DWAS fleet with new ownership and a lot of serious rehabbing). Salary after probation period is $60 per day, every calendar day plus a $25 per day non-taxible per diem. There is also a performance bonus based on Hobbs hours flown each month plus an end of season $1000 bonus for those who complete the season. Company pays for rental car and single occupancy hotel room(within budget). The season starts in October and will likely go through May, maybe June, but opportunities may exist for flying through the Summer. You will be traveling the country for the entire season and likely will not see home until the end of the season unless we happen to get work in your hometown. Operations are done single pilot in VFR conditions, however for ferrying purposes pilots are expected to be comfortable flying single pilot IFR in aircraft with basic instrumentation and are required to maintain IFR currency.

Commercial Single Engine Land
Class 2 Medical
Instrument current and proficient w/ some actual logged
500 total time
100 cross-country(airport to airport is fine)

You would need to be able to be in Hammond LA (KHDC) as early as Oct 6th. Deployment would begin somewhere between Oct 15th and Nov 1. Training lasts about 10 days. If hired we fly you into MSY or BTR and get you to Hammond. Your housing and rental cars are paid during training and you also receive the per diem during training. You go on salary on the first day of official deployment. There will be a check out of basic VFR and IFR skills by our Chief Flight Instructor. You must pass this checkout and pass the aerial imaging training or your employment is terminated and you are flown home.
I will *try* to respond to all properly submitted resumes. Please do not PM me but I'll try to answer questions submitted in this thread.
Thanks!
