EASA 145 needed Kenya / Tanz / UG
 

help needed to service a couple of PPL holders travelling to Jo'Burg in the summer from UK. A RANS 9 and a Diamond 40, not being in a rush, and planning on taking 4 months we will need some EASA certified Maint assistance in July. We will be returning around October as well, similar route we hope.
Any one know of any certified light aircraft operators?

I don't think there are any 145 operators in East Africa - all the administrations there oblige operators to go onto the local registry, so there are not enough EASA aircraft to make 145 registration worthwhile.

There are a few in West Africa and South Africa. Try here:

For the Diamond, it might be worthwhile contacting Urbe-Aero at Wiener Neustadt, as they can get authorisation to carry out maintenance on their 145 overseas in urgent cases - but it will be expensive.

Surely best to just carry out a 100 hour service before you go? You would have 120 hours to play with which should be enough to get to Joburg.

I know several EASA B1 engineers that live in the Joburg area that would be open to a bit of contract work. let me know if you need them
