Until Pprune I didn't realize that 250 hour people sat in the front of 737's <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="biggrin.gif" /> . .. .Until the end of 2002 you can get a CAA instrument with training as required. After that it will be JAA either multi or single engine megga money rating.. .. .Cost now: between 10 and 20K. After Dec look at doubling those figures.. .. .But please remember that most of those Police pilots that you mentioned aren't instrument rated!!!
