Sispanys,
Crossing FIRs and landing in foreign (other arabic) countries have nothing to do with the main purpose of the CPL-IR (such as using a pressurization system).
Your quite right in your suggestion. Their integrated course (now GCAA approved) was actually modeled on existing integrated ATP(a) criteria found in Subpart D of JAR-FCL1. The completed curriculum of training at DAE will actually surpasses JAR training requirements by approximately 20-30%.
The primary objectives of the CPL/IR will still be met during the course of training.
Secondary to this will be the experiences you gain having a acheived those objectives using modern and complex aircraft, the EA500 in this case.
Now I'm nothing more than a bystander here. Only time will tell if their 'system' of training impresses or otherwize.
Aim Hi,
All powerplants have climatic restrictions on both ends of their 'operational' ranges.
You wouldn't fly a C172 in -20°C temperatures without a winterization kit installed would you?
