Tis true any OPC class check will do.
It caused great discussions by the TRE signing my log book.
Also I note now that the OPC is valid for signing your IMC off as well.
Just shows what useless check the 1 hour with an instructor is.
(standard argument that the instructor isn't trained to do the check anyway)
OPC, 4 hours in the sim PNF PF. V1 cuts and all the like.
How does this proved any gauge of your flying skills in a SEP VFR?
Stalling ? no fully developed stall done
PFLs? aye right
Carb heat? O !!!! just pulled the turn and pull. err can you run the air relight check list please.
VFR joins? H'mm havn't done one of them for 4 months.
I am sure most instructors have had Heavy jet pilots trying to get there SEP back. And what fun that is flaring at 50ft and them trying to rip the throttle out the console trying to select reverse thrust. Good laugh in the bar ripping the piss though :d .
