Potential Twin Group in East Anglia

We are in the very early stages of putting together a new twin engine group in East Anglia . Our motivation is to provide ourselves and like-minded pilots with a cost-effective way of accumulating hours on a twin engined aircraft. Subject to the availability of suitable insurance, we are initially seeking pilots who have finished their ATPL groundschool and have either a CPL or IR and are aiming for a career in commercial aviation, but anyone would be welcome to get in touch with a view to joining.

With low twin-hour pilots in mind, we would purchase an aircraft similar in age and specification to that used for training. The group members will provide capital for the purchase of a Piper Seneca or similar aircraft which will be parked in Norfolk or Suffolk . It would be capable of IFR and members will be free to use it as they see fit. The aircraft may be available for hire to non-group members.

We think there is a gap in the market for this group and therefore we are seeking expressions of interest from pilots who would either seriously consider putting in capital to start the group or be interested in hiring a twin in our neck of the woods. Obviously rates for members would be lower than for hirers, but cost details will be finalised in due course.

We look forward to receiving comments and interest.
