Can anyone shed some info if you can get a LET410 type rating in Mombasa,Kenya. If yes which company is doing it and who to contact. Aswell as the cost for the rating there. Any info will be much appreciated.

OK , that works out . Ask TCAA if they will accept a kenyan TR (F64) or if you will have to redo a flight test on a 5H aircraft .
In Mombasa , you have two companies : Mombasa air safari . (.com for the website) and Blue sky aviation . I'm sure they can help you with your TR . Count a minimum of 3(P2) or 5 (P1) hours before flight test , and you'll have to do your TTR in Nairobi . Why not do it directly with a TZ operator ? (Zan Air or Air Excel ) .BTW If you want to do it in Ostrava for a cheaper price , Mention that you are NOT living in the EU and that you request a VAT exemption (-20 percent !) .It worked for me . And their price used to include hotel and transportation . There's also another training center in Slovakia which is supposed to be cheaper . I'll try to get their contacts . Additionally , you could contact Air-tech in RSA . I believe they do Type training . Good luck

hey..
thanks very much for all the information..firstly, no tanzanian operator is doing the type rating..they want their pilots to come with the rating or rather send them to ostrava..the price i was told last week when i contacted ostrava was 11,850 euros without VAT..i was told VAT is 20%..so if they exempted me that 20% it would still be very expensive..and that price was without accomodation..the training centre told me they will get me an accomodation in at hotel for which i will have to pay 45 euros per day extra..
secondly, i had contacted blue sky aviation last week and received an email from the MD that first i would need a kenyan licence and then he just stated that they only give TR to their potential pilots. I replied to him saying i could get my kenyan licence myself and do the conversion will you then provide me with the rating? but so far no answer...if you do find anything about slovakia do let me know..thanks alot for your kind help..have a good day..

HI aamamdani,
Greetings. Why are you after Let-410 ratings? Go for ATR rating and you can get job in west africa and also in ASIA. I heard that Precisionair of TANZANIA are looking for pilots with the ratings. Wish you GOOOD LUCK.

An ATR rating is easily double the amount with No job guarantee either .
BTW , getting your kenyan licence might be quite time consuming if you are non-citizen (not impossible but time is money ...) . Have you tried Mombasa air ? and get in touch with the respective CAA's to see if they'd accept cross ratings ?... The slovak sim is not approved as such so no good .Looks like Martin has a monopoly in Ostrava unfortunately . You can get cheaper accomodation on your own in Pribor (v.close from FTO) . Don't fly into Ostrava , but take a train from Prague (huge savings ! ) . Food and drinks are pretty reasonable in CR .every little help .
PS : Try contacting Eagle Air in Uganda as well .They might be easier than the Kenyans .
