Hello,
Well I have now 1800+ hours including 75O hrs on the Caravan and 650hrs on twin piston ( C402/1 C 421 ans BE 58/55).
I did not do the Airbus rating yet but still thinking of doing it. I beleive now I've done enough to move on. Didn't I?
Yes it's sad that we have to pay for a rating, but it seems to be the new standard today. I'm hoping to get a job on ATR sometimes this year tho, so hopefully no rating to pay.
