When are you going and did you winter/summer/spring (their seasons) for particular reasons?

Self fly, but bringing a local along helps a lot I understand, particularly spotting the landing strips initially as you get used to it.

Still researching the times given winter vs summer and locations. Have a good SA friend who is partial to Capetown as initial departure point, but still determining what we will do. Like the ida of a C206 although I understand those are always very busy to rent.

Hi All, Good afternoon! I'm planning a Self Flying Safari in Africa with experienced guides, essentially renting a C206 with a pilot (I currently fly a C207 in the Northeast) and touring Zambia, Victoria falls, Namibia, etc. There are a bunch of sites that advertise this (example...

Hi Billy, thank you, this is super helpful. Hopefully I won't encounter too much icing, but I'm in the Northeast so always a possibility. I know they don't make after market boots or de-ice systems for the 207. OK on the power. similar to the T182, perhaps a bit slower and more...

Thanks for the detailed advice Billy. I was thinking of adding the tip tanks since I understand the plane may handle better (other than the extended range of course). Easier to land, better climb and a bit faster, etc. Any thoughts on that or have you flown one with tips? Also thinking of...

Thanks for the advice everyone. Insurance is being very specific about time in type and CFI both, which from their perspective makes a lot of sense. Billy, any tips on what can bite you in the 207 other than aft CG and being behind the power curve? I've seen guys come in on final with...

Hi All: Recently acquired a Cessna T207 (7 seater) and need a CFI that is rated for the plane to check ride two pilots, myself and a CFI, for insurance. I need 15 hours for the Insurance to cover, my CFI may need less. We're located at KHPN in Westchester, NY. Looking for someone in the...

Thanks Greg. Yes I understand that's the case, and part of the reason for a 15 hour check ride needed which is longer than usual. Appreciate it.
