Havnt a clue where to start, all i know is that during training i met a couple of people from Africa who where aid flying in king airs and cessnas, they were converting there licenses to get jobs here, but they were saying that there are lots of flying jobs in Africa but its just not safe. As a newly qualified pilot, im wondering where these jobs are?, aid flying/bush flying?? I have an airline job lined up in about 6 months but in the meantime im looking into what i can do flying wise. Thanks guys
How does the job market look in Africa at the moment? The airline industry is in a deep deep recession worldwide, but how is Africa suffering?
Think a pilot with 250h with no experience get the chance of getting hired?
I'm not looking for a job, i'm not even a pilot, i'm just curious.
If licence and experience is not a problem......
Anyone want part time Dornier 228, Emb 110 or King Air 200 pilot, South Africa/Botswana for November to April?
I could not help noticing a post above in which someone claiming a total time of 3850 hours claims to have 1650 hours of instrument time.
As a rule of thumb instrument time is normally between 5% and 10% of total time, depending on where one is flying. Anything much above the 10% level would be most unusual and would require some explaining. Any resume with such numbers is likely to go straight in to the garbage can. What’s the point of posting figures such as those mentioned?
European Law states any flight on a Instrument Flight Plan you can log as IF time even if the complete flight is done in VMC conditions.
Was also strange for me but who argues with the law when I came back to Europe after training in the U.S. where you can only log IF time in actual IMC. /
IF time in log book? Reality time is time for let down.
If all flying done in South Africa then I take, for interview assess, 1/4 total time and 10 minutes for each hour. So..if TT = 4,000hrs, then 1/4 = 1,000hrs and 10mins/hr = 10,000minutes = 167hrs. With 167 hrs of let down practice, pilot should be pretty good. So..if he cannot fly let downs well with airmanship, then rest of log book hours are suspected. Therefore, no job. Damned simple.
I've been reading through the posts in this forum the last little while and I'm thinking South Africa might be a good fit for my next adventure. I was hoping you guys could give me the low down on the current job scene out there. I've got 1500 TT, 200 PIC, 1200 ME Turbine, currently flying SIC DHC6. Flown in North America, Asia and a bit of the Middle East. Do you think I'd have a decent shot of scoring a job or would it be wise to wait until I have a little more time before I head out there on the job hunt?

I am currently rated Captain on the C212, 1500 TT logged, portuguese ATPL, been flying for Portuguese Air Force till now. Some experience in Africa. Flown essentially in S Tome and Principe (I know it is not Africa actually), but been to Dakar, Niamey, Bamako, Nouahdibou, Lome, Accra, Libreville and Port Gentil. Know something about living and flying in Africa. But still would love to make a living there. Do I stand a chance with an outfit in Africa?
I was looking at heading to Tanzania in a couple of weeks but a buddy of mine out there is saying things are starting to look bleak at the moment. I'm still planning on showing my face but is this economic thing in the states affecting everything in Africa?
