We are both saying the same thing I think from different viewpoints. I have actively encouraged a friend of mine who is 300 and 206 rated to train for his FI rating on an R22, for two reasons.
1. Most schools operate them, so work is easier to find.
2. As a baby instructor with a fresh type rating on an R22, I feel its safer to have completed the FI course on the R22 before you start to teach on it.
I just wanted to point out the 300 is far from dead and gone in the UK just yet. I agree that with the loss of BHH, which was probably the busiest 300 operator in the country things will quieten down for a while on that type.
Anyway sorry for creeping off the original thread, the other guys are right its time to head off to the gym for both myself and MikeT.
