I would say you will be lucky to get 7-10 independant mep instructors of decent quality in the whole of the uk.
I have only met 3 who had a clue what they were doing.
Briggs in Humberside who apart from having issues with flying at night at least knew what he was talking about.
Kevin Rowel top bloke for a macum
And Kath of atlantic fame who dealt me my one and only fail ( which was well deserved I might add)
For that money what are you looking for? as a 3000hour TP skipper who has a lapsed full FI JAA rating less than 5 years. Please tell more if I can link it in with a summer season with less than 90 days in the UK and instruct during the winter somewhere warm I am game.
Actually thats rubbish Gibbsy up at Highland is a CRI/CRE knows his stuff
The bloke that does all the trilander checkouts in CI is pretty good.
The trilander skipper who is a FIE who I have only met on the bus up from town knows his stuff don't ask just accept no need for a check flight.
Its a pish system just by reading I would have to go and do time in a MEP as PIC just to do the FI rating. All for rpm high and mix rich. Instead of RPM's 100% in a turbo prop. And I have to do a course in dealing with pish approaches by FO's.....
Mad_jock I am not being slow here (I hope) but is there a slim chance you could translate the heavy typed italics into English, you will have to remember I am not a member of the 2 wing master race like yourself!
Matt, I do have use for an FAA FI, but only Stateside!
