Hi
Are there any schools offering the IR course on a DA42 other than Stapleford, HPG and Flying Time Aviation?
Preferably in the south/South East.

Makesure you fly the DA42 NG and not the DA42 TDI, there is a marked difference in the performance between the two aircraft. The NG has alot more power and it makes the single engine stuff a damm sight more easy. It also has slightly higher reccommended speeds and is definatley a more stable version of the DA42 than the TDI!

my first flight transitioning from the TDI to the NG my left engine blew-up....
...LOL at least i got good Single-Engine Practice on that lesson :)
Cabair - Cranfield
Halfpenny Green Flying Centre - Wolverhampton
CTC aviation
Atlantic Flight Training - Coventry
To name a few. I went to SFC which I highly recommend, however I hear both Halfpenny and Atlantic Flight training are good for the modular guys.
edit: sorry not really in south east, but this is all I know
