Hi Rudestuff,

Thank you very much for your answer !

Why a Single Engine IR ? Because I do not want to be an airline pilot later on and my requirements doesn't need this. Also for evident financial reasons.

Ok so I may consider finishing the IR ME part of my CPL(H) to benefits the 10.0 HRS reduction ... but please take a look below : Rotary wings, especially twin turbines, are just insanely expensive.

If I go for CPL(A)-IR SE as an IR(H) holder :

10 x 2000 = 20 000 to hold the IR(H)
15 x 300 = 4500 for the CPL(A)
10 x 300 = 3000 for the IR(A)

TOTAL = 27 500

If I go for just the CPL(H) as a Tourist ( lol, at least without the mighty IR... )

25 x 300 = 7500
15 x 300 =4500

TOTAL = 12 000 ...

It's a no brainer the 2nd solution may be the easiest, fastest and cheapest, damn, why can't we do all our IR on the FNPT II ? Ahah

But so my current IR training experience and investments will be wasted ... I don't know the maximum duration of interruption of the IR course ? 2 or 5 years ?

Thanks a lot, if anyone have rock solid infos on this, please don't hesitate to let me know here !

Happy landings ;-)


I do not now to which extent my already done 40 FNPT II HRS and 5.0 IR Cross Country Multi Engine Heli would be credited to lower the CPL(A)-IR SE requirements...
