Quite correct GT. My mistake.
So the guy has 20 hours P1 when they get their PPL thus 50 hours to go before they get their MEP. Not too onerous a requirement in my opinion.
BigendBob,
If pilot have given up flying because they have managed to complete all there is to do before reaching 70 hours P1 then I think that their outlook on flying shows little imagination.
They do of course have the option to complete the PPL course on a twin engine aircraft from the very start if they are that determined to fly a twin...........anyone fancy paying current UK twin rates for basic PPL training?
I still think that this is simply a case of looking for another aource of income for a company i.e. "lets open a new market for twin ratings.....encourage newby PPLs to go straight for it before they get a chance to settle into the usual C170 or Arrow touring mode"....Ahh but JAR-FCL blocks this money making potential so JAR-FCL must be wrong and must be changed!!
Cynical I know but is it that far from the truth..........after all, JAR-FCL was sooooo wrong we needed the NPPL.......and that has been soooooo good that everyone wants one......not likely.........we now have schools complaining that the NPPL is nt enough to provide customers
There a few organisations who would just love to advertise as follows:
Fly here.......£100 per hour for licence holders.......£500 per hour for non licence holders plus insurance waiver.
Sounds funny.....but I bet you would get a few takers!
