IR(R) Required for CB-IR
Hi
I am about to start working towards my CB-IR. I did the IMC course around 5 years ago but never took the test as I was injured just before.
I now have the 15 hours instruction in my log book but no actual qualification. My question is, do I actually need the IR(R) qualification in order to build IFR hours towards the CB-IR?
I fully intend to get some training and will also be paying for an instructor to fly IFR with me and come up with a plan for building the hours which will be as beneficial as possible for the CB-IR. Do I need to actually do my IR(R) test though?
