Detailed Flight Time Considerations:
Wizz Air employs a factorized hour system to assess minimum experience requirements, particularly for Commanders. Factorized hours are calculated by applying specific factors to different categories of pilot flying hours. The sum of these factorized hours determines eligibility. Simulator hours are excluded from these calculations. Pilot in Command (PIC) hours are strictly defined and do not include PIC Under Supervision (PICUS) hours. Specific requirements include a minimum of 1,000 hours as PIC on certified Multi-Engine Turbine (MET) aircraft (jet/fan) with a Maximum Take-Off Weight (MTOW) exceeding 50 tonnes, operating within a public Commercial Air Transport (CAT) operator environment. Experience gained in business or corporate aviation environments is excluded for this specific PIC requirement.
Wizz Air is committed to fostering a professional and engaging work environment, offering significant opportunities for career development and growth for its flight crew.
