I wouldn't say it's impossible...you just have to figure out what kind of flying you want to do and get yourself marketable. |
Single Engine Turbine IFR Operations are not allowed in Europe, only in some Scandinavian countries, Spain and Switzerland. The only caravans I have seen in Europe are for skydiving and some in southern Italy and Greece on floats.
There is lots of small planes in europe but there is almost not much market for them to be used as charter/airline/cargo. There is a Flight school in Italy that has a program were you land a job on one of their taxi VLJs, a mustang, kind of the same thing Gulfstream use to do...you pay to fly.
If you have the right JAA stuff, it's easier to get a job on a A320 or B737 than on any smaller plane....
