hey kopterman,

if you have a CPL and your low time, as soon as you have 250 hours get yourself an instructor rating.

1) you will find work when you have passed it
2) it is good experience
3) you will get paid £40 p.h approx
4)it is a low risk strategy
5)when you have 1000 hours or so people will take you seriously to do some VFR charter.

your plan with the 206 sounds like a cracking way to go broke fast to me.
if I were an AOC holder, there is no way I would let a 200 hour novice fly my passengers around (even if it was his aircraft, they are my passengers). I dont think you realise what a huge difference experience makes.

regards

CF
