Team Velocity is inviting expressions of interest for new pilots and dispatchers for its 2016 Worldflight effort. More info on Worldflight at its official website: http://worldflight.com.au/

 

Team Velocity is an unofficial team with members doing flights from home as a collective effort. We have been running since 2011 but took a year off last year due to reduced availability of our members.

 

This year, Team Velocity intends to operate either the PMDG 737 or 777 and will likely simulate the operations of an Australian carrier, to be decided by a poll of our membership.

 

If you are interested in joining our team and meet the attributes listed below, we would love to hear from you!

 

Team Velocity pilots should meet most of the following attributes:

 

  • own a copy of the PMDG 737 (-800) or 777 (-300ER)
  • be intimately familiar with the normal operation of the above aircraft
  • some familiarity with cold weather operations, high crosswind handling, instrument approaches with all radio navigation aids (ILS, LOC, VOR, NDB) and RNAV GNSS using VNAV and V/S AFDS modes, visual circuits*
  • experience in operating in high-traffic environments
  • experience in operating with overseas ATC and takes a flexible approach to working with ATC
  • team player
  • a willingness to always learn new things!

* successful applicants will be encouraged to complete a training package including these items

 

Team Velocity dispatchers should meet most of the following attributes:

 

  • own a copy of PFPX
  • some familiarity with CASA Jet and EU-OPS flight planning criteria
  • some familiarity in analysing standard meteorological prognostic products, such as TTF, TAF, SIGWX
  • some familiarity with EDTO requirements
  • experience in overseas operations
  • team player
  • a willingness to always learn new things!

 

If you are interested, even if you don't meet all of the items listed, please don't hesitate to get in touch with me at dzhong111 at gmail dot com with the following:

  • pilot or dispatcher or both
  • aircraft owned and preferred aircraft (pilots)

We are still looking for pilots who can cover evening/early morning UTC (i.e. European and North American evenings). If you are interested, please get in touch!
