"Instrument rating: duration 5 weeks. This was the course everyone feared, in fact I throughly enjoyed the IR, I seemed to gel with the instrument flying. Majority was flown in the DA42 and the DA42 sim. Passed first time"
You did your initial IR on a twinstar: Go back do the IR in an analogue Seneca 1; then tell me you gelled with instrument flying. Then you will realise why people dreaded the IR course. The above shows this Twin Star to Airbus generation has no comprehension of the limitations of the training route they have followed.
This is what concerns me.
Certainly do not want some one who isn't aware of his limitations up front. This is the exact reason why I have concerns for the Twinstar to Airbus generation.
