41.-(1) A person shall not conduct a single pilot operation under the instrument flight rules or at night unless the operation is approved by the Authority and-
(a) the flight manual does not require a flight crew of more than one;
(b) the aeroplane is propeller-driven;
(c) the maximum approved passenger seating configuration of the aeroplane is not more than nine;
(d) the maximum certificated take-off mass of the aeroplane is 5,700 kg or less;
(e) the aeroplane is equipped as described in sub-regulation (3); and
(f) the pilot has satisfied requirements of experience, training, checking and regency as prescribed by regulation 36.

(2) Notwithstanding the provisions of sub-regulation (1) (c) the Authority may approve a single pilot operation under IFR or at night for an aero plane with a passenger seating configuration of more than nine if the aero plane, in addition to meeting the requirements of sub-regulation (1) (a), (b), (d), (e) and (f), is type certificated for operation by a single pilot.

(3) A person conducting a single pilot operation under the IFR or at night shall ensure that the aeroplane is equipped with- (a) a serviceable autopilot that has at least altitude hold and heading select modes; (b) a headset with a boom microphone or equivalent; and

"unless the operation is approved by the Authority" are the key words.

Most Employers will prefer, that you have the IR, or you can also do it in Tanzania.
Type rating is a mandatory for the C206/208 in Tanzania. Most of the Companies; Coastal, Auric Air and Regional Air will offer you a type rating as well.

Two.crew? What if the person in the LHS is incapacitated? If you're doing charter work, a lot of companies require two pilots to be at the controls, to transport their personal. Should be all.

IR. Flying anywhere, for hire and reward apart from agricultural aviation, an Instrument Rating should be mandatory. Can get yourself out of a lot of trouble if caught in bad visibility, for example. It can get you into more trouble too, if you don't know what you're doing.
