I'm looking for someone interested in a bulk dry hire of a single engine (CSU and retractable gear a plus) deal for anywhere between 30 and 50 hours. The deal would be along the following lines: I commit to paying you a minimum of 30 hours (and up to 50 or thereabouts) at a dry airswitch rate* for the use of your aircraft by a set date (3/4 months from now). Hours short of 30, ie. not flown, will be paid at dry rate less your running costs (to be agreed upon). Also: I'm not requesting exclusive use of your aircraft and would always give sufficient notice prior to use. Expect 1/2 blocks of 10+ hours over a few days and a few smaller flights.
*That's nonnegotiable as I expect to make a lot of a stops and I hate rushing my ground time, but feel free to do your maths and top up your VDO rate.
The motivation for this idea is: I initially wanted to buy an aircraft an enjoy the benefits of ownership fully but being still a temporary resident in Australia, the pathways to acquisition for non Aussie, non PR residents are somewhat cumbersome. The trouble may just not be worth it considering that I may be moving overseas around mid 2019. In the meantime, I'd like to fly out west to the Margaret River region and up north from Melbourne.
