C208 course
Hi
Can anyone recommend where to get a Cessna Caravan rating. I've seen the Turbine Training Centre, PanAm and Flight Safety. Anywhere else? The latter was quite pricey.
Thanks.

My understanding is not "rating" is required because it's under 12,500 lbs. and not a turbo fan. That being said, I'm sure there are places that have training programs for it that people do for insurance requirements and possibly part 135.

Some countries require a type in the C-208.
Frogone, I assume you've seen this site?
Caravan Pilots
Also, if you are looking for overseas options on training/flying, the PPRuNe website has some threads about initial C-208 training and operators.
Just go to the main page, http://www.pprune.org/ , and use the search function. You may have to create an account there to search the forums.

Well, since there is no FAA CE208 type rating, the FAA certificate doesn't matter. Australia will put it on your CASA license and some of the African countries will also do the rating on their license.

I found an ad for this place Advanced Aviation: TRTO / Type Ratings
Located in Germany. Price is WAY high .... If I read it right, an IFR would run 13,000-15,000 Euros
This place says "Coming Soon" RENI Aviation Belgium
List of BCAA TRTOs (search for Cessna SET) http://www.mobilit.fgov.be/data/aero/lijstTRTO.pdf
And if you are bored, here is a quiz: http://burger.za.org/fly/C208Bquiz.pdf
Good luck
