Just to add a little to this discussion (and apologies for thread drift), why do CASA still insist on a DME
endorsement, when DME can only be used to assist in an approach using another aid?
Does this still hark back to the days of DME homing and descent? That was the only instance where DME could be used as a stand-alone aid.
one wonders why CASA is inconsistent in their regulation of instrument rating tests especially as the CIR is not type specific.
It's just the kind of folks that they are......recently had an FOI tell me that that since I had changed types, I would need to do an I/R renewal in new type, even though I/R was not due for renewal. He insisted, but so did I. "show me that in the regs" I sez. Still waiting.
