Any where to do C206 turbo rating in NZ?
Simple question!
Alternatively, if I did a C206 (non turbo) rating, is much involved in doing "differences training". ie does this need a qualified instructor and involve flight time.

Not too many if any Aeroclubs have them. WLG aeroclub might. There is an operator in Chch that has one also Taupo. Start saving your $$ because they are bloody expensive ($400/hr+ if your lucky)
Wouldnt think there would be too many turbo 206's about either maybe the floaters? Most operators have their own specific enginge handling methods depending on what type and make of engine is fitted so doing it in a non-turbo isnt a big deal. Really sweet aeroplane to fly, my favourite by far.

Not much difference i have flowen both, small differences with engine handling but type rating covers both Have a hunt round as can be very big differences in price Try wellington aero club the CFI will point in the right direction.

C206 rating - the answer is Taupo Air Services
Just done the C206 rating at Taupo Air Services, Taupo, Central North Island. Decent aircraft (with Robertson STOL mod) excellent instructor (Chris), reasonable price and lovely place to fly. Get on down there!
