Really Low Timers in Africa
Hi,
Im new to the forum and am interested in flying in Africa. I am working toward my commercial (at about 125 TT) and am starting to think of what I want to do with it. I would love to fly in Africa and have been reading some stuff on the forum. It seems like a few years ago you could go over to Maun or Windhoek with 200 TT and a fresh CPL and find something. Ive been reading about 300 TT being realistic in Namibia and people talking about 300 TT for paperwork in Botswana and rumours about 500 TT minimums. So basically I am wondering what the current situation is for people with fresh CPLs and just over 200 TT. Are there places that will take you or is 300 TT really required for a reasonable shot at a job? If so what have you guys done to get the 300? Do most expats instruct for a bit before heading over or what other options are there? Any info would be great.
