I'm still looking into doing my IR transition from an FAA IR. I've got information on most places but still looking for some input about Air Alpha & Cab Air.

If anyone has anything good or bad to say about either of these places I would appreciate any input.

Cab Air seems to have a slightly different program than most of the places I've looked at - doing 5 hours on an airplane sim (no helicopter simulator there), the 8 hour type rating on an AS355, 5 hours instrument training on the AS355 and 15 hours instrument training on the R22. Cost is about 19,000 pounds.

Air Alpha does 10 hours in the sim, 5 hours instrument in the bell 222 and the 8 hour multi-engine type rating, again in the bell 222. Cost is about 37,000 euro.

Thanks.
