The insurance company are happy if we use it with a pilot untill I have got 500 hours in and that will, in my case, have been about 11 months intensive flying training and most of it on type.
....Then I intend to do the CPL / for the benefit of the training and study for the ATPL even if I dont need it just to get as much knowledge and training under my belt while I am getting in all the flying time I can.
the ppl night m/e and faa instrument
to get as much flying time in as I can both here and the states. It will be later in the year before I can go to do the instrument course but will do the faa courses first then JAA.
So, from now where you are part way through a PPL, you're going to get night and FAA MEIR ratings, and JAR IR, and a B200 type training course, and 500+ hours on type, and train for the CPL, and study the ATPL, and at the age of 51, all over the next year?
