DO228 type rating cost
I find it hard to believe the DO228 type rating, a ten hour course, cost 25k euro per pilot.
Having been to Simtec loads in a previouse position I do not imagine they were charging that much.
Just 60 miles to the North of the Channel Island's Cobham would have been a good company to contact to quickly get the 228's in the air.
Just to put the 25k euro price tag in context, my 757 type rating left me with a 20k bond and that included 40 hrs in the sim and 3 weeks ground school.
Still miss flying the good old Dornier, great pilots aircraft.
