I got out in 2004 and use my helicopter licence to pay the bills. I renewed my ATPL (A) last year and renewed my CAA multi engine IR last month in Florida. I flew 5.2 hours Seneca including a test, which cost me just over £1100 (flying only, you have to get there). Great instructor and great examiner, very basic aeroplane (DI and no HSI) but it worked. PM me if you want a contact. JT
