A PILOTS LIFE.....
Position: Cessna Caravan Captain
Company: Tropic Air Ltd.
Base: Belize
Age: 23
I have been living and working as a pilot in Belize for the past 2 years now, and life couldn't be better. After graduating from the Aviation program at Mount Royal College in Calgary, I decided I didn't want to move up to northern Canada to work as a ramp attendant and wait for a flying position. I had been to Belize before on vacation and loved it, so I packed some bags and decided to take a trip here to check out the job situation.
Fortunately I came here at the right time and lucked out with a job at Tropic Air flying a C172. However Belize operates on some old British civil aviation authority, and they required 750 hours total time to be able to fly as a captain. So in order to meet these requirements I had to build up my time as a co-pilot in the cessna caravan. This proved to be a very educational experience for me... Coming straight from Canada with only 250
