Thanks for the reply Vlamgat,
Our tel conv refers : It seems that there are a lot of work for especially a Grand Caravan with a pod on (as is this one that is available).
In the mean time I had another tel offer for it in West Africa for 30 to 50 hours.
I do not wanna sound greedy man but I wish to run it at a minimum of a 100 hours a month.
Any comments and or suggestions.
I got a ball park figure of $350 an hour dry ... what do pilots on fixed wings get paid and what does the fuel work out per hour ?
Any help will be appreciated.:confused:
Cheers,

Guns, how much are you flying now, Im flying part time and get 50 plus hours a month, the full time guys get at least 90-100. I find it hard to believe that folks cant get over 100 hours a month on a good airplane, even in Africa.. We're putting 6-8 hours a day on our A-Stars seven days a week and we are slow until July.
You need some contacts my friend, drop me an email, and We shall see...
Guns,
If you do need guys, please drop me a line. Been trying to get some work flying a caravan in the south, but so far it has come to nothing.
cheers

Lo All,
While VLAMGAT is still hunting in the Limpopo province ... let me ask a few questions ?
What will a pilot flying command of a Caravan be paid per month flying 50 to 100 hours? :confused:
What is the fuel consumtion of a Caravan per hour ? :eek:
What is the average fuel cost for JET A1 ? :(
What is the going rate for a Grand Caravan with a cargo pod ?
Your help will be appreciated !
Bert I have not flown since my accident on 19 Oct last year. Still waiting for spares for the remaining ship. I am doing this Caravan deal for a very good friend.
All the best !
