Multi engine ICUS

[stick_&_rudder]

Does multi engine ICUS time really assist a pilot in obtaining a job flying twins or is it really just a waste of time and money ?

If it's not just a waste, are there any other operator's apart from Johnsons at Port that do multi engine ICUS?

[Rich-Fine-Green]

Do Johnsons charge for the ICUS or is it part of a package?

[Dale Harris]

Unless the ICUS is to meet minimums, i.e. 10 hrs on type for IFR work or some such, pretty much a WOFTAM. After all, you're either flying the thing or you're not.

[Wagit]

Remember this, ICUS training in multi engine aircraft was not design for the person undergoing the training to subsides the operators costs!!!!! It was design so a person who has obtained a basic endorsement on an multi engine aircraft type, such as B200 etc… can obtain line flying experience to make him a worth while operator on that aircraft type and also teach the pilot the company SOP‘s.

So therefore unless the ICUS training you are undertaking is structure with Base and Line checks, then it’s only value is for the 10 hours on type.

Couldn't agree more with Dale or Wagit. 10hrs on type, line experience or to a lesser extent, to get your IR current again if its recency has lapsed.
