A friend mentioned this company to me. They are out of Wiarton, Ont. Anyone have info about them? All I know is they do survey work.

All I can tell you is that the company name has been around for a long time. When I did ab-initio instruction out of Wiarton in the mid 1980s, they were there.

They do survey work all over, have had contracts down in south america. Alot of the current contracts are in the canadian arctic. They like there pilots to have 500 hours multi, they dont have the 206 anymore. Its all contract work so schedule and i imagine pay vary job to job, but ive heard maximum time away is 3 months at a time.

[YYZ-pilot]

Has anyone worked for them recently.

Just wondering what working conditions and pay are like. They have a large project in South America going on now and are hiring several crews.

I'd be cautious working for them right now. They are involved in a pretty big and complex project in Columbia where the planes haven't moved since - oh - December-ish. I don't believe it was them but they were involved in the project when a Navajo ended up a permanent feature in the Columbian hillside.

Just be careful and cautious. Ask the right questions if you get an interview (not just how much money, and what's the schedule like....) That Columbia project may not be your best first foray into the world of survey.

Good luck.

Agree with schnitzel, I would be cautious of this job. Probably pays well, most survey contracts do. Could be a while before they actually turn a prop in Columbia. That was Oracle that lost the Navajo down there.

[wallypilot]

and for the record, Oracle was a reputable operator. not sure on the experience of the pilot, but I knew at least one of the principles(RIP), and he was a very safety conscious guy.

I'd be very cautious of BA..as others have stated...ask lots of questions. Flying survey in the Andes in a Navajo is not a wise proposition IMHO. If it's a twin turbine, then ok. Or if it's lower elevation terrain, or flat-ish geography, with a Navajo, then also okay. But those andes are real big and real unforgiving. not a great place to learn to fly survey.

Looks like they plan to spread their wings.
