Wages In Africa

Thu, 10 May 2012 00:29:10 +0000

A question for the African crowd... What should be a fair fee for a 206 pilot on contract in Africa? I guess it depends on experience, so let's say low-timer... The aircraft will stay Canadian-registered.

Bell 212 Hums

Wed, 09 May 2012 19:07:08 +0000

My earlier post regarding a hoist was so successful (we found one very quickly by using the moccasin telegraph this forum is) I have decided to try again for a HUMS unit. We currently have a Honeywell VXP HMS unit but we don't have the accelerometers, etc, for it. The lead time is an astounding 230+ days to get that from Honeywell. Does anyone have one they stripped out of a machine they bought or something? Anyone know where/how to get one quickly? Even a BHVMS instead?

Any assistance appreciated and rewarded in beer....

The 1000 hr requirement seems quite low considering an IFR rating is required.

Durable, flame-resistant Nomex aramid, anti-static fabric provides external protection for the inherently buoyant, flame resistant, thermally protective, integral wetsuit. Even after being significantly marred by fire or puncture, the suit maintains its flotation and hypothermia protection.

Rugged leather abrasion panels are integrated into the knees and seat offering protection from petroleum, fuel oils and soiling. Multiple pockets provide storage for notepads, pens and survival equipment.

Retails for ~$1200, Selling for $275 Shipped anywhere in Canada.
