The Application Process
The Steps
The process for applying for contract positions in China is relatively straight forward and much the same as applying for any other contract position elsewhere in the world. We have provided an outline of the steps involved for you to understand the process and where you fit in at each step of the way. 3Crew will be handling your application on your behalf, so the world involved for you is minimal.
- Apply for position via 3Crew.
- Once the initial review of the pilots application is complete and successful, the airline completes the pilot license verification through the CAAC by submitting the pilots license and passport to the CAAC.
- Once verification is successful, screening dates will be provided to the pilot to allow them to attend further assessment in China. This includes medical checks and the CAAC ATPL license exam. Assessments are generally completed on business days only, and it is best for the pilot to allow 7 to 8 days leave to travel to and from China and complete these requirements.
Generally only 3 attempts at the CAAC ATPL exams permitted. Health issues, including Kidney stones can result in a failure of the CAAC medical check.
- The second phase of screening includes simulator checks, which may include up to 2 hours of training, 2 hours of company checking and 2 hours of CAAC checking.
- Should all requirements be successfully completed at this point, background and work permit checks will be conducted. 3Crew will assist the airline in providing required documentation and applications for both work and residency permits. More information is provided around the time of the simulator check.
We will be there not only from the beginning, answering any questions you may have prior to applying, but also with you through your entire contract period, supporting you in every way we can.
For positions in China, pilots must have a licence from an ICAO state that is approved by the CAAC, as well as being a citizen of a country that has diplomatic relations with China. It is possible that a pilot may be a citizen of a country that is accepted by the CAAC, however their licence issuer is not an accepted state, or conversely, the pilot may have a licence issued by an accepted state, however the pilot is a citizen a country that does not have diplomatic relations with China.
