Hello all,
Just trying to find the part that says how long a flight test is required to last,
CAO 40.2.1 says nothing about test duration, as long as all the boxes are ticked is my understanding
im having to do an initial test to upgrade to a MCI
all the aids I wanting to aquire/renew can all be achieved within 1.5hrs flight time,
I think its pointless/putting a massive dent in my pocket if I have to fly extra.
anyone out there no exactly what test duration is?
ive found in the flight crew licensing proceadures manual which seems more like a guideline than a hard and fast rule.
The duration of the test depends on whether it is for an initial issue or renewal of a rating.
For initial issues, the ground component usually takes an hour, while the flight
component takes 2½ to 3 hours.
!
For renewals, the ground component averages 20 minutes and the test 1½ to 2 hours.
