900 Euro is expensive.

Try Aviation South West in Exeter. They have probably one of the best equipped BE76 in the county, and they also have an FNPTII if that takes your fancy.

The airfield is well equipped with NDB and ILS along with helpful controllers, and there is plenty of uncontrolled airspace around for doing the general handling.

N864 airway is a few miles west so you'll be asked to track the Berryhead VOR towards Exmor.

The actual profile is not far off what you did on your initial test, the difference being if you fluff something you can have another go (in fact you can have a few goes). So a departure, join the airway tracking the BHD VOR, then break off for some general handling, partial panel etc. Track to the EX NDB, hold join, hold and then full procedure (non precision approach). Go around, radar vectored ILS (precision approach), go around into the visual circuit to land. On landing we then did an accelerated stop.

The above was a combined MEP and IR renewal profile.
