IFR for the everday pilot in GA
I would just like to get an opinion on whether you think it is worth studying/training for the australian MECIR straight after the CPL rather than just heading directly north to seek work straight after the checkride kind of thing... If you just plan to go and hoot around in the bush up north for a few years to rack up hours! I hear that an IR is $$ expensive to keep current. How often or valuable is an IFR rating for the typical top end pilot in Australia compared to doing all the IFR training once you seriously contemplate joining a larger carrier or operator that requires this training?..
