plus 20hrs command in CSU aircraft.


Five hours a/c familiarisation for insurance purposes is understandable, with commensurate reduction in premium or deductible level one would hope but really, 20hrs CSU??? WTF?

If you have a CSU Endorsement then that means that YOU HAVE SATISFIED ALL OF THE REQUIREMENTS of that endorsement and have displayed to the testing officer/instructor or whoever signs it off, that you are competent in the use of such unit. You are now licensed to fly any aircraft in the class you are licenced (for the sake of this argument <5700kg SE piston) that is equipped with a constant-speed propellor. PERIOD. Why then is there a need for such a ridiculous and unnecessary amount of "command CSU" hours?
