EOI, Flight from Syd to NArromine

[Ultralights]

hello, just after expressions of interest in a flight from Sydney (bankstown) to Narromine.

 

i am thinking of hiring a Chieftan, 10 seater to fly to Narromine on the Saturday, 11th April.

 

departing in the morning, and returning that afternoon.

 

the flight will be IFR so there will be no worries about weather.

 

just testing the waters to see if i can fill a 10 seater. if not, we might have to take a Duchess or similar..

 

cost to be advised, though with a full flight, it should be about the same cost as driving there.

 

thanks.

Just be careful advertising as it looks like charter and without an AOC that can get you in alot of trouble! If you have an AOC then good luck!

it will be a cost sharing, no profit, everyone pays equal share of the cost of fuel, and yes, we do have a AOC. :) basically we are hiring the aircraft off the boss.

I could be incorrect but I believe you can only cost share for aircraft up to 6 seats. I'll can't seem to find the reference but I'm pretty sure. I'll keep searching.

Yep, cost sharing only valid for up to 6. Otherwise you have to pay the WHOLE amount yourself. If your passengers choose to renumerate you in 'other ways' then that is a different story.

Just what sort of "renumeration" are we talkin about here...;)...lol

hopefully not to much, the more the cheaper obviously. depending on numbers will dictate the size of the aircraft, cheiftain, caravan or duchess.

its all in how you word it. how much cash would you like from 9 members of the forum for your birthday? oh and can you take 9 forum members on a free flight?

im not worried to much about the wording, the aircraft will be operated under its owners AOC, the aircraft, and the others if we take one of them are all used to carry paying passengers. and the pilots are employees of said aircraft owners company. at the moment we are begging the boss to let us use it for fuel costs only, but we have to wait a little longer to see how the bookings are going for is normal operations, we should know soon though! if the booking pick up next week, we might not be able to take it and be stuck with the smaller duchess, if they stay pretty flat, we might get the 10 seater.

Just an update on prices, at this point we are looking at taking the Ceiftain, 10 seater, if we can fill it, cost will be approx $220 Return, if we cant get 10, we will take a 6 seat Baron, and cost should be a little cheaper.
