Twin engine hire/groups north of london
Completing the MER this year was one of the highlights of my PPL flying so far and I received some really useful advice from PPRune when considering this rating.
There is no doubt that this sharpens up your flying skills just as I found the IMC did. In fact I enjoyed this so much I was expecting the weekend to be filled with trips to France and the Channel Islands with Mrs EB happily strapped in. She is definitely a fan of the 2 engine variety of light aircraft.
However what I had not anticipated is how difficult hire of a twin is in comparison to a variety of SEP that I have flown. Many had said that a twin would be available to hire, but a combination of factors means that I have yet to use this rating.
Many insist on 20 hrs P1 on type for insurance and this is a bit of catch 22. Most groups are happily established and not looking for a green multi-pilot.
Any ideas for twin hire at airfields in the north of London area. Ideally looking for Seneca / Aztec rather than glass cockpit Diamond etc. I have searched the archives and not found anything relevant.
Thanks EB.
