I recently renewed my twin rating + IR on a turbo seneca. As a professional helicopter pilot, I hadn’t flown an aeroplane for 6 years, so I thought that I would nip to Barton and renew my SEP a few days later.
I was told that I would have to do a navigation exercise using drift lines. I last used them on EFTS chipmunks in 1987. I have 7000 hours helicopters and comfortably do the calculations in my head these days. I didn’t bother with the renewal as I would have to learn a new skill that would then never be used again.......
