Do you know where your mute button is?

Single pilot, no camera. Mostly looking for oil leaks.

@@Underthewingpodcast are y’all hiring?

@@PaulthePilot55 sorry, I no longer work here.

@underthewingpodcast HI! What state was this in? I am looking into doing this so badly but don't know where to look

​@@Underthewingpodcast HI! What state was this in? I am looking into doing this so badly but don't know where to look

Thank you

yeah it does... thats California s*it music.

Absolutely! Majority of the routes will take you more than 50nm away and you’ll need to stop for fuel at some point as well. Most days will be cross country.

This was filmed at American Patrols

@@Underthewingpodcast thank you so much. I actually just applied to American Patrols this past weekend!

haha same!

I don't think he does...

How soon?

@@Underthewingpodcast it can already be done with drones, I've got planes I could do a survey with right now. it's a matter of some company getting the approvals and paving the way. Thats why people think the FAA brought in all the drone rules, so they could commandeer the airspace for commercial use like surveys and deliveries etc. you know the business, get a plane and put iNAV on it and start your own drone patrol business.

@@FourthWayRanchHow would that work tho? These planes fly survey routes upwards of 800 miles a day? What drone can do that?

The logistics, cost and regulations are prohibitive. Drone guys have been claiming that for decades.

@@dh5516 drones can hover and move very close for real time viewing too. Just a matter of time

Good luck!

Did you get it?

@@yamkaw346 no I didn’t, I became a flight instructor instead

@@HoustonGamerTVHGTV currently thinking of doing pipeline patrol, what made you become a flight instructor instead?

@@TurtleForDays because there’s very very limited amount of low pilot jobs nowadays and there’s a whole lot more cfi jobs due to there being a cfi shortage. Honestly getting a cfi rating is a whole lot easier than looking for a low time pilot job for me in that case.

Thank you! Cheers!

Housing at the time was nice, not sure about pets.

For this video I filmed a friend flying his route

Okay. I was just curious how they did it there. I’ve seen some operations use two pilots on a route.

When I was there 100hrs plus a month but I'm not sure now days.

For WI they are pretty technical and a lot of fun for sure!

Ya it is def a nice compromise between the agility of a 250 and the power of a 450. So far I've been happy with it. Congrats on the new bike!

Stop at a nearby airport along the route for a fuel and restroom stop.

@@Underthewingpodcast i was curious bc ik stopping adds a lot of time but I figured

I always carried around an apple juice bottle. It gets very hot in the cockpit especially in the summer so you have to stay hydrated.

Lean to pee in a pop bottle, they can handle the pressure changes,

@@FourthWayRanch There isn't a whole lot of pressure changes between the ground and 250 feet AGL.

It’s under different ownership since I worked there so I don’t know those answers. I would ask them.

It is under new ownership now but when I was there, we would avg 100hrs a month easily.

@@Underthewingpodcast works for me thanks for the information

@@Underthewingpodcastif you don’t mind me asking who did you work for? Currently at 840 TT.

I'm not sure, it is under new ownership since I left.

Try muting it next time

@@Underthewingpodcast are you still pipeline flying? How many hours do you have now? I see you've been to glacier national. Me too. Me and somebody's in the Air Force rode bikes from Billings to glacier national. I was riding a ZX7 at the time. See you like bikes too. Now I'm down to a drz400sm.

No longer flying pipeline. Sounds like a cool trip you took.

@@Underthewingpodcast one of the best trips I ever had in my life. Was the first time I ever saw a moose. I'm from the East, so I've never seen anything like that. I feel pretty helpless as that thing crossed in front of me about 20 ft away. Road going to the Sun was a trip of a lifetime. Good luck with your flying. Hope you got you a twin turbine gig somewhere.

I agree. If you can call that stupid noise music.

I was hired on with around 750hrs but it was for a Chief Pilot position. I really enjoyed the job and lived in the airport housing as well. It is under new ownership now so things may have changed.

@@Underthewingpodcast Ok thanks for the info. I plan on applying once I get more hours, was the housing alright? You got your own room right?

@@Underthewingpodcast What is starting pay for the pilots? 23 or 25?

@@Hedgeflexlfz It is under new ownership since I've worked there so I am not sure. When I was there years ago I know the going rate was around $23 an hour.

@@Underthewingpodcast I had phone interview but no hire

Good luck!

@@Underthewingpodcast how'd you like workin there

@@catfishmedia9543 I really enjoyed it. Lots of exciting flying. It is under different ownership now so not sure how much has changed.

It’s not dirt anymore

Good luck!

Did you get hired? How is it?

The company I was with required around 400hrs to apply as a line pilot. I have seen other companies require as much as 1000 to 1500hrs. It usually depends on what their insurance will allow.
