Pilatus PC6 type rating

[I-CRUZ]

Hi guys!

Where in Europe could I have a Pilatus PC6 rating?
And how much money should I expect to give for it?
Are there good chances to work with Turbo Porter in Europe? And abroad?

Every kind of reply is well accepted...

Bye bye

The PC-6 is used essentially for meatbombing. Try to find a para center which will employ you and see with them for the type rating. In France there is no training center but several instructors training pilots where the paras needs them.
The cost is around 6000 Euros.

The Pilatus PC-6 is really a great plane . "still the world's leading STOL" as they say, and they are right! You will need some muscles but it's a lot of fun to fly this aircraft.

Lots of them in Switzerland (GO FIGURE!!) for both the meatbombing and the skiing scene. Why not try and contact Pilatus or at leats visit there website and see what you can muster up. Another crazy idea would be to visit www.airliners.com and do a search for the PC-6, might give you some leads. Regardless, best of luck.

It's www.!!!!!!!!!!!!!! not .com .

I've already took a glance of Zimex jobs opportunity... The mininimum requirement for PC6 commanders are:

2000 hrs total flying experience
1500 hrs PIC experience
1000 hrs tail-wheel experience
500 hrs on type

It's hard, really really hard...

Do you know if they also provide PC6 rating?
I've seen nothing about this in their web site...

For everybody:

"Does somebody know where I could find a list of certified european TRTO on the web??? "

Thank you all
