Well, the plot it thickens. Quite bluntly Pilots with PPL`s have been operating for Win helicopters out of the Waterfront in Cape Town flying both the UH 1/Bell 205 and Bell 206`s. CAA has been informed and has done zip!
Gary Van der Merwe, Francois Marais, Karni Matthysen are the guilty parties. Thought quite hard about putting the names here. But man if you knowingly fly an aircraft with paying passengers who have paid money for the right to be flown by a licensed professional, well then take it on the chin pal.
There are also rumours floating around about hours not been logged, time expired components been fitted to Aircraft (Bell 206 main rotor blades).
As Guns would say, "Skande", actually it`s damned embaressing to be in the situation of having to put up a post like this. Sometimes there comes a time when you have to draw a line in the sand.
