C208 van endorsment required.

I am still trying to get a C208 endorsment. prefer to do it in the west, but have had no luck in achieving this so far. happy to look at SA or NT as alternates.
There must be someone out there that does it. although there is meant to be someone in Perth that does the endo, I have only been in contact with one person and the aircraft usually used for the training has become unavailable. is there anyone else in Perth that does it.? I have heard romours that there might be a couple of vans over at Perth airport.......... anyone know who owns these?
Things are getting desperate........ Little help.....someone........anyone...

Hey Wiz

Try AVWest at Perth Airport. Not sure of the number but they could help. Or maybe the York skydiving mob aswell.

Mate, not meaning to interfere with your work and all that, but a 208 is a bit big for herding goats 'round your parts innit?

was a very thorough endorsment done with a very experianced and knowledgable chappy.
You need to aquire the quite substantial 208 manual and study it thoroughly. It has a few little quirks in some of the systems that you will be tested on.
PM me if you require contact details for the guy in Perth to do it.
