You need minimum 1000 hours to flying as PIC in Indonesia. I would suggest you apply to our company as a co-pilot on the C208 and build your hours and experience that way; like I did. Details here: http://susiairinterview.blogspot.com

Of course you can fly on any of the routes we fly, you just have to buy a ticket! As for the most dangerous airstrips, they all have their own unique challenges which could be perceived as dangerous by some folk. However, Papua has the most dramatic looking airstrips and scenery but hopping about the jungles of Kalimantan is jolly good fun.

I read all of your diaries. They are very good and very informative about Bush Flying in Indonesia and Papua. I will visit Indonesia, Kalimantan and Papua this month. Is it possible to fly with susi air’s aircraft to this remote locations? And do you have any recommendation for me about the most dangerous airstrips in Kalimantan and Papua(or other parts of Indonesia)
Thanks in advance for your helps.. Please accept my best regards to you..

Cheers Jon, I hope you got back ok. I’ve just arrived back in Papua this morning and should be back flying the mountains again tomorrow. Can’t wait!

Sounds like a year of mixed emotions!!

Hope you had a great holiday in Australia. Mine has finally come to an end, but it was totally amazing, with one of my highlights diving off Green Island at the Great Barrier Reef. I’m writing this from Singapore airport, waiting to board for the long and hard 14 hour flight home. Hope this year brings you more highs then lows mate. Stay safe, happy flying, and happy New Year!

Jon.
