Summer (Dec-April 09) 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 December 2008 until Mid April 2009:

One Tow Pilot - Piper Pawnee glider towing experience essential. A
Glider instructor rating would be really useful but not essential.

One or Two Glider Instructors - Internationally recognised Gliding
Instructor rating required. We will arrange your NZ cross
certification.

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. The role can be shared. To see what gliding life is all
about have a look at: http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...72103408575836
or excellent examples of local ridge running on http://www.liftedfilms.com/index.html


All positions offer free accommodation 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. A smaller food
allowance may be possible for the Ground Coordinator role depending on
circumstances.


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 brand new
DG1000 training gliders so it's the latest hi tech equipment.
