This guy here offers C208 courses I emailed him a while back.
AvSkills | Practical Aviation Training,
We charge NZ$565 incl gst for the 206 (dual), and NZ$1575 incl gst (dual) for the C208.
If you are needing type ratings, depending on your experience, the 206 rating usually only takes an hour or so.
You should allow 2 hours minimum for the C208 rating, but it would take around four hours to get a bit more on top of the aircraft. Allow another half to full day to cover all the groundwork etc.
We charge $90.00 per hour incl gst for additional instructor ground time.
We may be able to look at a reduced rate for bulk hours. How many are you looking at doing, and over what period?
Our strip flying courses are usually done over 2 days, and the course structure is very flexible. Normally each student will have a particular area they are interested in, or want to work on (eg general handling techniques, strip flying, or mountain flying etc - or a mixture of the lot). We will then add a variety of extra exercises that work you into it slowly, and complement what you want to do. Essentially, each course is custom developed for each student.
Cost is NZ$3450 incl gst which includes all flying and ground time. The course is normally run over 2 full days. Flying time in the 2 days is normally around 5-6 hours, with heaps of one on one ground instruction. We normally use our C172 or PA22/20 Pacer, however if you were interested in doing it in the 206 as part of the rating, we could look at that also.
Everyone who has done a course to date has raved about what they have learned by the end of it, and generally we get lots of comments like "Why was I never taught all this in my PPL or CPL??"
Hope this helps, and look forward to hearing from you soon. Please give me a call if you want to discuss further. My cell is 029-8904910.
Cheers
Craig
