TR-LKY.

- General
- This aircraft typically flies about 100 hours per year. In the past
few years, Cessna have started producing new 182s which have similar flying
performance to ZS-JVU, newer instrumentation, but cost about R3 million
to purchase. The 182 is a very strong workhorse and a very forgiving plane
to fly, allowing landings on short dirt strips such as game parks. With
its 235HP engine, it takes off over very short distances.
- Partnership
- Four partners with one pilot registered for each share. Hangerage and
insurance costs about R750 per month per partner. One partner looks after
booking book and bookings on a first come basis. One partner sends out
the invoices for flying expenses each month, pays accounts and manages
cheque account.
- Reason for selling
- Have been a partner in this aircraft since 1991. In the last two years
have only flown for 3 hours each year and so decided to sell. Plane sold in 2003
