Aircraft hire in Belize, Central America
Hiya
I wonder if anyone can help me here. I just found out that I'm being posted to Belize in my job next spring (dirty work, but someone's gotta do it!).
Does anyone here know of any clubs/individuals in the country who wet lease light aircraft (172's/ PA 28's etc) to a UK PPL holder (300 plus hours).
I was in the country a few years back and started to chase the idea. The Belize CAA made me take an aviation law exam (based, incidentally around the 1977 ANO - that's 1977... not a typo! There were only 2 copies of said ANO in Belize to bone up from). Did that and then found that there was no real chance to hire light aircraft in the country (maybe to do with drug running?).
I'm likely to be in Belize for two years or so and am keen to keep my hours up and enjoy what will be a fantastic place from which to operate.
I've managed to fly in every location I've been based (including a 172 in the Falklands), so any help or advice would be really helpful.
Many thanks
Chris
