I'm caught in the middle at the moment. Most of the way through the first phase at OATS (distance learning). Started with the understanding the IR training was at the discretion of the CFI. Now with having to do the "full approved course" it will add another 5-8000 stg to my costs. Thats alot of pinger when you are paying for it in NZ pesos. An extra NZ$16-26000!
Apparently OATS are lobbying the UK CAA to give us poor souls who started the course before the new ruling a dispensation of some sort. I'm not holding my breath.
Artificial Horizon, how did you find the conversion process? Exams, flight tests etc. Would appreciate any info that may be of assistance to my endeavours. Email me if you'd like at
[email protected] or maybe a further post here.
Cheers all.
