Zambia 1000hrs PIC minimum!
Hi
Seems would be flyers in Zambia are now required to have a minimum of 1000hrs PIC before validaion or conversion of professional licences!
My understanding is that this is part of DCA attempts to reach ICAO compliance. Does anyone know any other state with this requirement?

Ex-pat validation. To keep the jobs to the locals rather than ex-pats. There are ways around it apparently. Don't ask me how though, just know it can be done.

I heard it applies to everyone. Currently there is no way of training for a cpl or atpl in zambia. So locals have to get one elsewhere. I heard one company managed to get an exemption tho'.

If it's true I think it's a great rule. SA CAA should show some interest in protecting local pilots in the same way. Show the pilots that the CAA has other functions besides milking them and suspending licenses. Perhaps they could introduce it as there first service?

As far as I can work out sa caa already has it pretty well sewn up. Validations only for use outside sa, and licences only issued after resitting all exams!
