Hello,
I read quite a lot in the books but to complete my research on the subject I'd like to hear the opinion of "real" people...
The aircraft (to be used privately in DRC) should meet the following criterias:
- more or less 1 ton (2200 lbs) for the pax and beauty cases
- taking-off/landing in about 200m (600 ft) on every type of surface
- spare parts, bits and pieces readily available
- a Playstation/DVD player at every seat would be a plus
It goes without saying that it must be reliable, cheap to operate and easy to maintain.
It seemed to me that the Caravan, the PC-6B and the An-14 should be considered. I must admit I've got a bad feeling about the An-14 but if you feel I'm wrong don't hesitate to correct me.
Many thanks in advance !
