Have been adding types to my list of checked out out aircraft but want to learn on a variable pitch.
I could learn as part of my MEP rating but figured be one less thing to be new if I can find a SEP, and my MEP is going to be a long while away atm.
Seem to be running out of schools to ring and cant find one that I can learn at.
Trying to find a reasonably close school to Manchester/Liverpool that have an a/c and instructor, any ideas please ??
Q: do you know if this needs to be re validated as a rating like IMC or if keeping my SEP current will do it even though on a fixed.
Also looking for something with retractable and turbo (ie a PA-28RT turbo arrow would be perfect !) found a few, however they are up in Leeds not exactly around the corner.
Q: Do know if fixed gear and vari pitch training have to be done by a FTO or can you be checked in an a/c group plane and be signed off ?
May thanks for any info you can post
Ian
