These aircraft are in UN colours, but are operated by third parties such as Rossair or Trackmark. Suggest you try them! Rossair also operates a number of B1900s on DHL contracts in West and East Africa.

1900 type rating
 

I am looking to get a type rating in a beech 1900, if any one has an idea of where i can get one and for how much, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

where is the position?
 

Is there anyone hiring B-1900 pilots at this time or what?

Try these....
 

Try NAC, Rossair or Executive Turbine at Lanseria.

NAC: +27 11 267 5000
Rossair: +27 11 701 3500
Executive Turbine: +27 11 659 2732

Hope this helps

P.D thanks for your help. will try giving them a call. much appreciated

PD I called each of those places but had no luck, you wouldnt think it would be so hard to find somewhere to just get a type rating...... Any more ideas anyone?

Foster Aero, Lanseria.

Speak to Dudley or Ivan. They used to run a plan where you paid around R65k for a C208, BE200 and a 1900 (B/C model) conversion. They also arranged finance.

Good luck...

BE 1900 Rating
 

Hi all,
I am wanting to do a BE 1900 rating in the next month or so.
Where I am now these a/c are kinda few and far between, would anyone know which companies in Jhb or Lanseria might have BE1900's available for conversions and training?

All info greatly appreciated,
Thanks;)

Try Rossair or Foster Aero

Don't know if they do own conversions though

Watch out for the booby's...
 

Only pulling your p.....r.

Try NAC as well, as they are getting something like 10 or 12 1900D' over the next few months.

They might also be looking for pilots for that matter...

Just remember,

thanks guys,

NAC is not looking for crew , apparently, even if they are getting a bunch of 1900's. This last bit is correct, but when asked, they only will consider guys with more than 100 BE200 hours?

also, they only do inhouse training...

B1900 Rating
 

Where can i get a b1900 rating in Africa or anywhere else. Unfortunately, my paperwork is delayed at flight safety in the US because of the restriction. I am a US citizen with a muslim background, and as a result they have delayed my paperwork for a type. I am looking everywhere including australia and africa....anyhelp would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Forum Newbie

Could you well please tell me more details about this case and what is happening exactly.how long are you delayed

I could suggest Ad-Astral Aviation in Perth Australia they do the B1900C rating for about 7000 USD.

Check them out....

African BE1900 Rating
 

Avirex is a company based in Gabon, and operating two Beech 1900C. They have a JAR CRI/CRE who comes down from Europe every three months or so to train the company's crews. He provides a fairly throurough training, comprising ground school and about 7 hours in the airplane -- no sim. Try to call them to see if they have him scheduled in the near future, you may be able to join the company pilots for a price. You would then get a Beech 1900 type rating on a Gabonese (ICAO) licence.

Avirex - BP 9900 - Libreville - Gabon

But if you want an FAA or JAA rating, it suuuuure won't do.:o

Well you sound desperate ,,,I seen your post on the Australian site.

Hey Tree Top,

Check you PM's.

Beech 1900 SIC (or P2) checkout
 

Hi there,

Do I, as a FAA Comm ME IFR rated pilot , need a SIC or P2 checkout (or rating) flying a B190 right seat?
And if so: where can I get such a checkout (or rating) at a reasonable price? (Preferably in Africa)
Any help more than welcome,
Cheers,
IZ

Will you be flying ZS-NXX by any chance, based in Bamako?

For passenger transport under IFR, most countries require two-crew operation, and as P2 you can log the time provided you have the type-rating.

In South Africa you could get a P2 rating on the 1900 but I'm not sure how it would work with your FAA license. Your best bet is to ask somebody at Rossair, they have pilots from many countries flying their (ZS-registered) aircraft on contracts in Africa. Their base is at Lanseria airport, Johannesburg.

Might bump into you at BKO.

Cheers and good luck

Hello Jelly!! Long time no see. :)

Gerund.... me old mate... hope you are logging your pprune hours, they're adding up, could soon organise an atp with that
:ok:
Doing fine in Ougiedougie except for the sandstorms :D

Beech 1900 C Type Rating
 

Hey guys!!

anyone out there know of a place in SA that carries out 1900C type ratings apart from Solenta?

cheers

On the south side of FALA, at the NAC hangars there is a simi which can be used for convex's. It seems to be run by '43 Advanced Training'. Just drive in there and ask, if you're close by, or phone NAC if not. It's non-motion, and not all that specific apparently (its more B200-with-T-handle's than 1900) but hey!

i think that N.A.C are giving simulator courses. Give them a try and find out what their rates are. 011 267 5000

Have fun :O

Thanks guys, appreciate it.

B1900 rating
 

Im looking for advice on doing a B1900 rating in South Africa. Who does it, what are the costs? Im looking for a good, thorough rating that will be well accepted and not a quick 2 circuit, slap dash rating that will just end up being a waste of hard earned bucks!

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

1900D
 

there are a few possibilities here to do a 1900 rating, and a very useful rating to have here in SA once you have sme hours on it. the prices change all the time due to the unstable oil price so i unfortunately cannot help you there. my advice is to go with a reputable company such as 43advanced training at Lanseria in Johannesburg, they may be a litlle more than the rest, but certianly worth the money.
jbg

other options?
 

thanks for the reply.

what are the other options for us more cash strapped other than 43 Advanced? How about Solenta? Federal Air? Robbie R ?? Anyone done the rating with any of the above, and got prices?? thanks

Other options.....
 

GR, not sure about solenta or fedair, but Robbie R's rating will probably set you back between 15 and 20k. if its initial turbine, you will have to do the B200 rating as well, and both together should be around 30k. keep in mind tho, that 30grand doesn't go far in a TT - it will only get you about 3 hours flight time.

not sure what 43 costs, but i know its expensive (me thinks its over 40k). also, their sim is a trainer so the cockpit mockup is somewhere between a 200 and a 1900. not quite ideal, but you should get about 15hours of flight time, a great deal more than you would on an actual aircraft.

in the end, most employers are still going to want time on type before they hire you, so be careful you don't spend all that money for nothing.

:ok: good luck

Don't forget the 5 D's of dodging dodgy ratings: dodge, dip, duck, dive and .....dodge :}

those are very important indeed. if you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a dodgy rating:}

Wrench thrown by angry AP who's aerie you just broke :eek:

Look around
 

Be careful were you do your rating . FedAir's a wishy washy 1day theory 1.5 hr flown. Rest of training done "on-line" between jhb and lodges.
43 At Lanceria best but expensive. Solenta do in-house training at 43 for there own needs

Hey big boy, them sound like fighting words... or maybe sour grapes...?:ugh:

43 Advanced Training
 

Hi all! Can anyone give me some advice on getting a 1900 rating? I hear 43 advanced training at lanseria offer the rating...feedback from any past students??? What are the chances of getting work after completing the rating these days? Heard ET are busy buying up a load of 1900's to ship up north. Thanks!

You can give the companies that use them on contract a call and ask
them if they can help you with a job if you do the rating. Depending on
the need they might even give you a rating under certain conditions.
Thats how I got mine and it worked. Look under earlier thread
"LET US VOTE CONTRACTORS" to find some companies that use the
1900.

It's all about timing so good luck.
