MEP Class Rating, is it worth it?
I mean…… what’s the point?
The only reason for me to keep re-validating my MEP rating is to keep my IR current. So how often do I fly a twin? Once a year! I say again, what’s the point? Until I’m in a situation where people pay me to fly a multi-engined a/c then it’s just like throwing the best part of a grand in the bin every year.
It’s catch-22 isn’t it? I need more twin hours to be attractive to employers, but I find that it’s really difficult to find people willing to hire me a twin because I have fewer than 50 hours P1 (because of the insurance implications)
How do I get out of this vicious cycle? Is there anyone out there who’ll let me fly their twin? Come on PPRuNers, inspire me!
