DHC6
 

Hello flying fellows,
I know where I can do a DHC6 type rating, but in which company or jumping club can I gain some hours, that the question!
Have safe flights.

Have you spoken to Zimex in Zurich, they are one of the biggest operators and recruit fairly often, You might be able to get a type rating and a RH seat there if you already have a sensible number of hours etc. Progress to the LH seat should not take very long.

If they are not recruiting they might well have some suggestions, they are a major DHC6 repair and overhaul centre and kmow most of the smaller operators.

The Twotter is a great little plane to fly but there are only a few hundred in service so your patience and persistence will be needed to find a vacancy.

Thanks for your suggestion, perhaps the best thing to do, ask them directly the question. I am approching 5000 hours with around 800 done in Africa (b350 & c208) but I am probably not the only one who will appreciate a position in this company...patience and persistence as you said...will pay one day, I agree too.
thanks and have Safe Flights.

Viking Twotter....
 

Is anybody on the great dark continent buying these new Twin Otters from Viking?

I believe that Zimex has one in Uganda and possibly in Algeria.

Caverton Helicopters in Nigeria is expecting one DHC 6-400 from Viking. They currently have 2 DHC-6-300

Very Interesting
 

Thanks for the info. Cheers
