Thanks everyone...kind words and rousing suggestions!
"The controller" I was aware of the requirements but unfortunately I was mis-informed by others about requirements. I was told that if you have time on type already that it would only require a check ride for each type with less than 25 hours. which seems logical as I have already flown and survived in the type for at leat 25 hours. It seemed logical. Having over 200 hours in a R22 and having to be re-taught and tested seems very extreme to me. But like B Sousa says....Ive got this far so its just head down and keep walking towards the goal.
THe reason I am trying for the FI conversion is that I do actually have a position waiting for me part time at a local school. They fly R22 and R44 but there is also some work around for 206. The Instructing will be more regular but the 206 will pay more.
I am starting my B206 type rating tomorrow and I am looking forward to flying and "Being taught properly" because the CAA must do it differently to the rest of the world..
I cant wait to see what the R22 can do with a type rating onboard as opposed to a FAA CPL/CFI........!
Thanks everyone!!!
