THANKS BARNEY, but what did you actually DO as part of the 'standardisation training?' In fact, is there anyone who can tell me how i get into commercial instruction, min requirements and what they actually did? Am i to assume a IMC Instructors Rating would be pointless other than to teach it specifically? Can a wannabee CPL ME Instructor build up their twin hours in the 'whenever', 'if ever , if your lucky type school? Did the CABAIR people get their 'freebee' twin time?' I know some of the CPL course is SE type flying with no 'IMC ratings necessary; so IS there still hope of me getting that all important foot through the door?
