Q14: What will my flying duties comprise?
A: The Montage flying programme comprises three elements. First, there will be regular timetabled flights between Abidjan, the airport of the capital of Côte d’Ivoire, and the Koné site, carrying personnel (mostly expats coming to and from their breaks) and high value/urgent cargo in varying proportions. Second, there will be ad hoc flights to other domestic and regional locations, primarily for the transport of VIP passengers (including the Executive team and Board). Lastly, the Montage Flight Operations Department will provide an H24 medevac capability for the company. It must be capable of converting the aircraft to the medevac configuration and getting airborne within 60 minutes of receiving its tasking, to fly patients from the mine site to hospital. This capability will be maintained via periodic practice drills. Whilst we will generally attempt to give each pilot at least one rest day per week free of planned flying, this will not always be possible. When not flying, except on designated rest days pilots will work in the office.
