Hello, petrichor,
Thanks for the intel.
It's a light twin helicopter, for which I'm already a non-EASA instructor/examiner (with a reasonable amount of type experience).
I'll check in with the factory (AIRBUS) to ensure their instructor can 'legally' deliver a TRI course and an AE course.
Never previously having heard of an AE course, I am starting to lose confidence that this project is feasible....
