hi everybody,
i was looking foward to doing my me/ir in a diamond twinstar, but before i can, i will have to do an me rating on a seneca .fair enough i thought its only a six hour course and was told it due to some difference with the levers and auto feathering , now i have found out that once this is done ie the mep skills test i will have to do further training on the seneca for limited and partial panel upset recoveries before progressing to the twinstar as its not part of skills test. i though thats the way it had to be.according to moggies previous post , the limited panel /partial panel upset recoveries can be done in a fnpt11 since it cant be done in a twinstar and a me rating is a me rating whatever the aircraft its done on. so what the hell am i doing the seneca rating for ?, when i can do it all on the twin star? .at the school thats the way its done, thats that.getting really cheesed off so forgive the tone of message.i could spend this 3 or 4 grand in better ways ie on a da 42 and not an ancient seneca.
