Unbelievable how long it is ago....single pilot IFR...nice one, in the night, on a piston twin, autopilot a bit dodgy and does not couple the approach everytime, the headset is messing up, the fuel used is more than calculated because of headwinds, the weather is certainly not as forecasted, and some of the eyebrow lights are not working....entertaining, also for the laundry afterwards.. .. .I don't want to scare you, but it is not an easy job for a newcomer and it is hard to believe that the CAA will grant you a permission for this operational work.. .I recall that there was at some time a minimum required of 1000 hrs in total and some 100 hours on type. And of course higher minima.. .. .Good luck <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="confused.gif" />
