Endo in and pvt hire of something with 12 or more seats
I'm a PA31 driver looking to get endorsed and PVT hire something with at least 12 seats + baggage space.
Ideally, something in or near Sydney would be handy. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Give me a break and please don't turn this into a thread about CAR 2(7A), as that wouldn't be all that helpful.
Thanks!

Not much around between 9 to 19 pax seats!
Cessna Grand Caravan? PC12? Trilander?
What else has 12 seats? PNG configured Islander .
C404 did originally.
Next step would be an Twin Otter or Bandit. Not many of them around!

Please please, do tell me more about the C209.....
I understand Transcendental Aviation operate a small fleet of 'em to supplement their C413 Vice Chancellors. In many respects, the two aircraft types are quite similar.
BTW Groggy, I don't mind your Toyota Coaster idea. Could you drive it to Lord Howe Island for me?

Probably something more like this.
Having said that, neither car will fit 12 pax. In fact, this car's MTOW will be shot, and Lasi's VW would probably sink under the load.
The search continues...

50 hours ICUS might kill the idea..
This doesn't 'legally' apply to PVT ops (I think), but most aircraft of that capacity will be turbine and will usually require 50 hrs ICUS + Base check + Line check for insurance requirements..
Might be cheaper to charter it in stead or wait and get a job flying the machine you want to hire.
Alternatively, can you get a mate to fly another PA-31 / C404 etc and fly it with two a/c in stead? That will allow you the baggage space with room for fuel too
