Now if that doesn't scare anyone who is thinking of doing a JAA ATP(H) I don't know what does.
Your gonna have to add the expense of a JAA instrument rating into your costs, also remember there is only 1 single engine IFR certified trainer that is already nearly 40 years old, once that goes, all Instrument training will have to be done on a twin engine!
Is there any future in Heli training in Europe, people just won't be able to afford to do it privately, sounds like the military is fast becoming the only option of getting your foot in the door.
