All rite
I personally am CRI on the beast. It cost about 1250€ for a 6hrs trng in flite + PC6 renting. then havinig a CRE coming from France would be no problem; I believe they 'charge' 300 for the capacity to drop + expenses to come for testing. You could do it near Madrid where I am gonna do a few trng (6 Spanish pilots). True, where I started and usually fly, in F., it's free as long as u stay as the pilot for the DZ.
For 'employment' (no contract normally), u should know there are 3 times more pilots than seats in F, the very first country for PC6! Still, DZ never agreeing w/ pilot 'pay' (some sort of illegal compensation indeed) still train newer pilots. What has been said is widely true on the other hand that DZ usual CRI tend to train if u fly it thenafter. that's a discussion and debate ongoing betw. us (French Pilatus instructors). But exceptions exist (too many, that is 1-3 DZ kinda train plenty of useless or/and dangerous pilots).
Voila
U can connect w/ me if neede even though I don't except starting to train pilots before a few wks.
