Question AVCON - Cannes

I came across an ad in Flight International for a CJ1 Skipper with Avcon in Cannes but there is no address, e-mail, phone or fax attached to the ad.

Can anyone help with their contact details?

Also, I am rated on the C500/501. Is the CJ1 a completely different rating or a simple conversion?

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Try to check www.avcon.ch.
To fly on CJ1 you need a C525 type rating which is a completely different one from the C500/550/560 rating.

Type wise you get the C500/550/560 as one group. The C525 (CJ series) is a separate rating and the C56X (Excel) is also a different type.

Luck!

thanks for the gen.

It's doubtful they'll pay for a rating for 12 month's work I guess.

Worth a try I guess.

Hi StressFree,

We now have the opportunity to take up to 2 yrs unpaid leave and as a Nice resident I thought I'd take advantage of the offer. If you hear of anything local could you let me know.

Cheers

Shan

The statement about the C560XL (Excel) being separate from the C500/550/560 is not completely correct. If you have the C500/550/560 type rating you only need to complete differences training and possibly (depending on your CAA) a checkride in the 560XL to be able to operate it.

There is a company in sweden (I belive - Malmo!?), Inter Air, who operates Ciatations and that, I have been told, is the way they do it.

Cool C560 Excel

With respect Will, it is a new type.

Cessna tried very hard to convince the FAA that it needed only a "Differences" course to be conducted but as from Oct last year the FAA, our CAA and JAA all agreed it was to be a "New Type" with attendant courses and LST to be conducted. I know as I managed to get my course done just before the cutoff date. I was also lucky enough to get TRI/TRE status on it shortly afterwards.
