In anticipation of our main tool, OH-KAS (the G1000-equipped DA40), returning to service with a new engine, we’re planning a new occasion of DA40/G1000 training with the same structure as announced earlier (see below). Sign up to receive a notification of dates when they are fixed—you can even affect the exact dates if you wish by giving your preferred dates. (This of course implies no commitment on your part yet!)

Aeropole is expanding to new offices in the main terminal at Helsinki-Malmi airport. The new premises will be equipped as dedicated briefing facilities, suitable for flight preparation and ground school for up to four students at a time, with a students’ lounge for enjoying a good cup of coffee while reading aviation magazines. The old space in the south wing will continue to serve as personnel’s offices. The interior decoration is still work in progress as of today, but we hope to be able to welcome you on the ground floor, to the right of the main terminal entrance, still later in June!

See the recruitment flyer here (pdf).

Aeropole is looking for new flight instructors to join its dynamic team. In preparation of our upcoming PPL and NF courses, we are currently seeking two more persons to join us on a part-time basis for May 2011 and onwards:

1. One experienced flight instructor
2. One junior flight instructor

Experienced instructor requirements:

• valid unrestricted FI(A) and SEP ratings
• 500 h of instruction
• current SEP/IR (or substantial IFR experience)
• even if you already have knowledge of different training programmes and pedagogic systems, an open mind for learning
• IRI rating is a benefit
• management experience in an FTO is a benefit

Junior instructor requirements:

• FI(A) rating, restricted or not.
• Willingness to both learn and teach: We will provide the necessary guidance for you to instruct successfully using our training programmes, with supervision and tutoring by senior flight instructors.

We expect you to have good flying skills and a safety-first attitude. Equally important are your interest and skills in teaching both on the ground and in the air. These are flight instructor positions, but we at Aeropole put a lot of emphasis on proper ground instruction in conjunction with the flight lessons. We put the client first, and many of our clients are mature adults expecting to see instructors with professional attire and attitude. Your ability to listen and adapt the style of your instruction to students of various backgrounds is as important as your abilities to drive the lessons through as defined.

Both roles require at least a valid JAR CPL(A), SE piston, Class 1 medical and English proficiency ICAO level 5 or 6. Airline  experience (flight and management), strong language skills and/or recently passed ATPL theories are an asset.

These are part-time positions based at Helsinki-Malmi (EFHF). Preference will be given to applicants able to work, at least periodically, also on weekdays during normal working hours.

Contact us today for more details!

Ps. Aeropole is also constantly keeping an eye out for competent ground instructors. Do not hesitate to contact us if you have the suitable skills and experience. CRI’s: take note of our other offerings and if they are in line with your experience, let us know!
