hello duir, hope all is going well.



76 hours in light SEP and MEP, WOW!. Normally those MEP hours in a Seneca or something similar are about 20. In my opinion you cannot skillfully operate a twin with those hours. Leaving the remainder in the SEP. With those hours you are just beginning to learn and not at a comfortable level. I am guessing at that hour breakdown, so please let me know what exactly they are.


Working an FMS competantly is great but sometimes hand flying skills are needed. Not all aircraft have the luxury of autoland and or 2000m + runways.

Personally, I have been to airports and in conditions that I needed to draw on my 'hand flying skills' background.

I have no rell opinion on the MPL Vs CPL/IR. Obviously there are valid arguments for both.
