Mission Aviation Fellowship (MAF) is an inter-denominational Christian mission with an evangelical emphasis, providing aviation, information systems and logistics services to mission, local Churches, relief and development organisations in developing countries.

MAF has a Statement of Faith that forms the foundation of its work; each applicant will need to signify that they are in agreement with this document. All members of staff share the values of the mission and have a mature faith which informs the way in which they work.

We recruit suitably trained and experienced staff from the UK for the overseas operational needs of MAF worldwide. MAF UK is only able to recruit those who are UK citizens or legally resident in the UK.

EXPERIENCED PILOTS

An International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) based Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL) with appropriate aviation medical certificate is the minimum-licensing requirement for all pilot positions.  Experienced pilots will carry out flying duties under the leadership of the Chief Pilot. These pilots are required to have a minimum of 1,000 hours’ total flight time (which includes 500+ hours PIC) with appropriate experience or ratings as necessary. This could include experience on multi-engine or turbo-prop aircraft in order to operate our Cessna Caravans.  An instrument rating is usually required to fly these more complex aircraft.  Pilots are usually required to spend some nights away from base each month to complete planned flights.
