Yea as said no problems with the islander on your MEP, My check out was a 30min flight just to get the feel of it and then let loose on para drops with it, Absolutely great fun to fly but a TAD noisey.
For those that may be interested Aer Arann the island operations side of it which operate just the islanders are looking for pilots with 1500TT and some islander experience. Flight times to the Aran islands are only 7min but you get plenty of practice in intresting Atlantic coastal weather.
