The whole IR conversion is a load of B.S. Completing the exams is fair in my mind, but why 50 hours of IFR training. I was trained to fly I.F.R here in Canada and have been doing it for 3 years. I think doing an NDB approach into some puny strip in the Rockies, at night in bad weather should count for something. Oh well.
Does anyone have any more info in the JAA moving on this issue? I will be doing it next spring and would love to save some cash on the deal. I will have 3000 with tons of IFR time.
I have also read that if you have 1500 + 500 multi crew you could get the IR by doing a ride with the CAA on say for example a BE20 or J31 if you are typed on the bird? Does anyone know of any operations in the UK that would allow someone to do a check on a BE20?? Anyone know the cost per hour??
Cheers
