Bush Flying

[Sam-MAN]

Hello all.

Now, before I start, I know this is a VERY vague question, but bare with me :ok:.

I did a bit of digging but couldn't find anything, so here goes...


If I was to go out to Africa with a fATPL and around 250hours, got a job bush flying, how much would I expect roughly a year? (money, of course :})


Sorry for the vagueness of the question :ok:

Not too much, you might have to pay to fly with 250 hrs.:} At least there are many operators in SA that quite like that arrangement.

At the current exchange rate plus minus 90000 Rand = 6500 GBPounds per annum flying a C210 in Namibia.

Get in your car and drive to windhoek..also get a C210 convex and you wil have the time of your life and get enough money to get around..:ok:

[Sam-MAN]

Many thanks for the replies.

Doesn't look like bush flying will be an option for me once I've finished (hopefully) ATPL training in a few years time :} Don't think I could afford to pay off the loan on that pay :ok:

Thanks once again

Sam

roxar,

a reasonable competence at spelling, punctuation and grammar will take you far. No Chief Pilot will look beyond the first line of your letter/cv if written in the nonsense you've posted here. If you present yourself in illiterate text-messaging chav-speak you are not going to make much of an impression as a Professional Pilot...no matter what technical qualifications you have.
