Hi guys, only just registered to the forum but have been around for a while.

I'm currently on my last subject for my CPL Theory and i'm shopping around for the next stage of training which is my MECIR.

No one trains locally so I have to move away, i'm looking for a 4 week course to limit my time away from home.

Ihave three on the table so far... Tasair, Johnston aviation and Gawne aviation.

My break down from the three are as so;

Tasair use heavy twins such as a Chieftain or Shrike, Is this a plus and worth the extra investment now? They also offer 20 Hrs ICUS in one of their Chieftains for free.

Johnston avation use BE55/BE58 aircraft which I might feel at home with seeing as my past 100 hrs have been in a BE36.

And Gawne aviation have been with me from the start! I believe they use the Seneca or Comanche.

Anyone have ideas, experiences or thoughts with any of the trainers I've listed?? :confused:

I thought a heavy twin was a B777.

Haha, well the way I see it is a chieftain weighs more than a bonanza with two engines!
