Someone has told me of a deal where a school is willing to pay £75 per hour and all the maintenance and insurance. This sounds a bit too good to be true. Has anyone else ever heard of this?
If they are also a maintenace organisation then it works for them as they get the machine (no capital outlay) at low cost to use as reqd etc as before. You may find that this includes scheduled maintenance only hence the biggie of cockup maintenance would not be covered but they would seek to get this under insurance.
Setting up. Good plan. Note it has to be CAA licensed and so the Chief Pilot will have to be FI unrestricted etc and be good enough to be approved to be a CP (see LASORS).
One for sale? I know of one R22 pilot interested in buying. I'll point him at the post.
