Everyone seems to recommend east coast operators for an endorsement, does anyone know of an operators semi-local to perth that could do an endorsement.
Public reply or PM is fine

Aircraft availability is a big problem in and near Perth. there is only three vans below the 26th parallel. One is an amphib and the others are generally not available to the public. I was lucky enough to secure an instructor and an aircraft through my own contacts.
your best bet is going to be on the east coast or northern Australia. some employers that have vans will do the endorsement when you move up from pistons in their fleet.
Good luck with it.

Hey Lt Dan,
Has Marty got a second one or are you talking about OZH? Cos that old girl was one of the first in the country, not a star performer but a beautiful ship.
Another operator to consider (East Coast) if you would like to do some ICUS on type is Seair Pacific, based on the Gold Coast. They do a really comprehensive endo, with the possibility of ICUS up to Lady Elliot island.

I know multi engine time is much more valuable, but I am really fashinated by the legendary Van! Moreover I am still pretty young, I suppose I have plenty of time ahead of me to upgrade to twins, and I would like to do as much experience as possible on GA planes.
Get out there and enjoy the Van.

VAN
If you have 900 hours or maybe a bit less on anything you could try TropicAir in PNG. They are looking for Van drivers, will do ICUS with you to get you over the grand and will give you the endo. PNG is not for everyone but the pilots there are a top group of guys and seem to have fun.
