Hi Checkboard

Many threads are already posted about finding work in Africa, however my advice for fresh commercial pilots might not be what they want to hear. The Government in most southern African nations now are demanding higher hours from expats before issuing work visas, I am not talking about huge hours but 500tt seems to be the key. I worked as a instructor in Australia and gained about 650tt before heading over to Africa. But please dont let this discourage any fresh commercials from giving it ago because you never know your luck (my company just highered 3 fresh commercial pilots but we are not sure if they will recieve the work visas yet). Just a heads up that its not as easy as most people think to get a job in Africa as a fresh com. But I will update you in the next month or so to tell you if we had luck getting the new pilots visas. If you need more information then please PM I am happy to help.

Green Goblin thanks for the words of wisdom I will start to get in contact with such operators and hopefully some good will come from it. I am also thinking of PNG but unable to find if they operate many light twin aircraft can anyone else point me in the right direction.


Thank you
