Try Geodesy Remote Sensing in YYC they have a C-T310R, and usually look to hire a pilot in late March-Nov. I flew three seasons for them averaged about 400hrs a season flying all over western Canada. I can tell you, you won't meet a nicer owner, truly a class act.

Geodesy

And it seems everyone who works there for a season or two eventually gets on with Aries (right Roar?). Aries is one of the best survey companies to work for in Canada!

I flew the C-310 last season, but I am with Aries now. Geodesy will be looking for a pilot to train for this season very soon.

It was an excellent summer that involved a lot of flying and travel! And the grumpy crusty old camera operator retired so you won't have to put up with his rants anymore!

The owner of Geodesy is a great guy who is a man of his word, fair and honest. He sometimes gets excited and at times impatient, but all in all I think he was a wonderful man to work for.

Oh and Geodesy has relocated from Calgary Intl. (CYYC) to nearby Okotoks airport (CFX2) now.

What do they look for in experiance? CFX2 would be nice only 20 minutes away instead of an hour.

It all depends what the owner thinks of you and your check flight with him. I think offically he wants 1000 hours and 500 multi but I was hired with slightly less
