Rate of decay of IFR skills
My IR (M.E.P) is due for first renewal in approx. 3 months time. After a long period of unemployment, I have finally secured a job that will allow me to finance the £1,500 or so required to revalidate.. .. .My question is this, realising no flying job is likely to be found within the next two years or so, is it worth renewing now in order to maintain a certain degree of competency, or do the skills decay exponentially, therefore making little difference to my ability (and hence cost) whether I revalidate now or in two years time.. .. .Alternatively, should I spend a bit more and do an MCC course, whilst my Multi/IR is still valid?. .. .Any advice from those experienced in maintaining a licence on a tight budget would be most welcome! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="smile.gif" />
