Recurrent - What is industry practice

Hello

Looking for "normal industry practice" on this.

If you fly two turbine helicopters for your organization, say a Bell 429 and an Astar AS350, are you going to annual recurrent for BOTH helicopters each year, or do you do one model one year, then the other model the next year ?

Thank you

Annual training on each type. A variant, like C+ to C++, is tolerated, but the 429 and A350 is an apple and an orange.

In Canada you have to order every twin, and 1 single and one if over 9 pax.

So one year I did 212, 230, 214ST and Bell 205. The 205 covered 204, 205 and 206B and L3/4.
