IR Renewal Time, What Next?
Having been dumped from a cadet scheme after 11/9 and remaining jobless since, my IR needs renewal at the end of the summer.
If I don't get a job by then, I will certainly renew it. Since I have only gotten limited SEP time since the IR, I will need some time in the aircraft before taking the renewal. So could anyone answer these questions:
- How much time do people generally need, after a year away from MEP's, to refresh before attempting the renewal?
- Can the renewal be done solely in an FNPT2?
- Does the IR renewal flight also count as the MEP class rating renewal?
- I was thinking of BAE, Jerez to do it? Anyone got any better suggestions?
In terms of jobs, are there instructing jobs to be had in the UK or Ireland this summer? Or any other ideas at all, aviation-wise, for a 230 hr pilot?
Thanks.
