Thank you oompilot for this clarification. Yes it is my intention to seek work with a SA Contractor but work outside SA.

Of particular interest is to fly for outfits that contract to the Red Cross, UN, Food for Children and so on. Air-Tec is one such company. If anyone knows of outfits besides Air-Tec that contract for relief agencies I'd appreciate you letting me know.

I would prefer to fly twin turbine aircraft and the one that is in common use in Africa is the LET. It is somewhat similar to the Twin Otter that I have experience with.

Here is where is gets interesting. There are no LET's flying in the US and it is not possible to get a type rating endorsement on FAA certificates for a LET.

I could, (and perhaps should) target opportunities on Beech or other aircraft aircraft that could be type rated on my certificate, but so far all of the outfits I have seen are requesting EASA or CAA certification.


Thank you everyone for your input so far, please keep it coming.
