Well, to be honest I've done okay in terms of variety in my 210hrsTT so far. Bulldogs (UAS), C172, PA38, AA5A, PA38, PA28, T-6 Texan, JP, Siaf Marchetti and 1hr Multi GA-7. I also did IMC and Night, although I let them lapse. My original question was really aimed at what I kind of flying will provide a good foundation for my CPL/MEIR next year. Given the IR is the hardest part, perhaps I should get my IMC revalidated as already suggested....I need to keep progressing with the actual flying to feed motivation into the theory studies .. or I may just crack up!! .
I'm very curious about one thing. I wonder what kind of improvements will doing the CPL/MEIR bring to my ability to fly an a/c from point A to point B? will I be much better at holding alt and hdgs maybe? will I not think twice about jumping into a twin and flying thru a cloud layer and having fun ontop before shooting an ILS back home??? does the training take you into a new league of flying proficiency and confidence??
