Summer (Jan 11- end Mar 11) Tow Pilot / Instructor(s) wanted for NZ
adventure at Wellington Gliding Club


The Wellington Gliding Club (New Zealand) is looking for the
following people to help man our full time summer flying operation
which runs from the beginning of January 2011 (usually start just
after Xmas) until End March 2011:


One Tow Pilot/Gliding Instructor - Piper Pawnee glider towing
experience essential. A Glider instructor rating is essential. (End
Jan to end March)


One Instructor - Internationally recognised Gliding Instructor rating
required. We will arrange your NZ cross
certification. (End Dec to end March)

One or more Ground Coordinator(s) - This role helps move the gliders
around on the field, answers the phone on the field, meet and greets
people coming for a fly etc. It would suit someone travelling, with a
sense of humour, who wants a base and has an interest in flying or
aviation. It's a heap of fun and a very cheap way to learn to glide if
so desired.


All positions offer free accommodation (half star!) on the airfield,
the use of the club car, free glider time and a heap of fun. The
Gliding Instructor / Tow Pilot roles also have a $150 weekly food
allowance.


Roles can be for the entire summer period or part. Generally its
flying midweek if fine and weekends off but we are really flexible. If
its wet then you are free to travel etc. The club has two new DG1000
training gliders so it's the latest hi tech equipment.


With the current recession and slow recovery (i.e. we dont expect the
usual volumes of tows / flights) it would ideally suit semi retired
glider 'flying for fun' and travel types rather than pilots chasing
hours.


Really a great chance to see New Zealand with a gliding base and to
escape the northern winter for the more mature glider pilot.
