I've heard that EASA have brought in new requirements that hours spent training for an IR have to be factorised to give a true representation of hours spent on instruments in flight.
Does this mean that you have additional training to the 50 hours (CPL issued) or does it mean the course is restructured to suit the new requirements?
If it is factored into the 50 hours does if mean you do longer training sessions to give a true representation?
If additional training is required does it mean in the sim or in the aircraft?
Is this just a recommendation or a requirement for a training organisation to be compliant with?
If it is a requirement, does it make an IR issued by a non compliant training organisation invalid or is it something that will have a transition period before coming the new standard? (I assume the CAA would only issue a valid IR licence).
I'm contemplating starting my IR with so i want to have the heads up before making some solid enquiries.
We all know what a potential minefield flight training can be so any links/experince/knowledge to find out more information would be appreciated.
