Hi Bertie,
Thanks alot. I thought that was the case but reading the last post by keygrip I thought i'd missed something and that it HAD to be done here after all. Thanks again-panic over!!

Atlantic Flight Training write those books. You could be cheeky and mail them, asking which chapters and books they use for their IR theory course. www.flyaft.com.

No i think he means, he is a student IR (pratical) but he is revising the ATPL theory...
anyway, atpl theory is a joke... you do not really need the theory for CPL/IR.
just do the questions "aviation exams" for any selection...
seriously do you really remember ALL about the theory after the course ?? not me...

Yeah, Alot of the ATPL theory is "in one ear, out the other"! But I suppose if I was to do theory revision for the practical IR Course, I would brush back over:
IFR Comms
Flight P + M
Nav Gen
.....For about three minutes, then Id skip to the fun part

Intrument Rating - MSAs
Is it permissable to use the Low Level En-route Chart MSAs, rather than laboriously plot and scour the topo' for 1000' above the highest point within 5nm of track for each leg?
I realise this would often mean flying higher than you'd strictly need to, but is it technically ok to plan on this basis?
Cheers,
Pip.

Why do it if it's not fun?

Best thing to do is check with your school on this one.
What you are suggesting is absolutely fine as a technique. But, for both CPL and IR, the CAA want to see a commercial-style operation. That means that you have to comply with your school's "SOPs" - just as, if you were flying for an AOC-holder you would have to comply with their SOPs. So, if this isn't the way it's done at your school, the answer might well be No.

I agree best check with your school but I reckon they'd be hard pressed to fail you for it - after all if you're tooling along at warp speed in some jet tube you're going to cover some ground and running the thumb along might be a tad impractical even in pre-flight.
But (and this is the only point in this otherwise pointless post) I have heard some examiners are very anti the use of MEFs on the topo charts so I guess may take the same view of MSAs.

Seneca II 200T Profiles
Hi,
Does anyone have the Seneca II 200T, profiles?
I need settings & config's (twin & single engine) for: circuits, beacon, ILS & general handling.
I'm preparing for an IR renewal on this new type, but I'm having difficulty accessing this information until nearer the test date.
I'd be very grateful if somebody could provide an URL or send me an attachment/details to yippipie at-sign yahoo dot co dot uk.
Cheers,
Pip.

renewal
Hi
Not sure what the profile is at the moment. But I heard a rumour that as from end of Feb you will have to do a ILS, NDB hold and approach then an Asymetric approach, this is even if you do the revalidation in a sim just renew the IR and letting the ME lapse. If you revalidate after your IR expires then you must do it in the aircraft, I have heard mixed rumours about this, as this is written somewhere however the CAA may not have implimented it. To be honest I have know idea what the current requirements are and I hope to shed some light on it when I do revalidation in the coming weeks
. Hope someone out there can give us an accurate update on the requirements and rumoured changes.
cheers

Pls. Help! IR-SPA-SE Question! Revalidation!
My question for anyone who might know is:
Does the revalidation in the sim (B737 / FNPTII) still allow you to revalidate your IR-SPA-SE Rating even if the Sim has more than one engine?
I hold an UK JAA CPL (IR-SPA-SE), MCC with ATPL Theorie Credit. I would be obliged if you could give me a prompt reply.

Can a Multi Pilot Multi engine SIM be used to renew a Single Pilot Single Engine Instrument rating?
Answer is in my question above.
Is a B737 sim also an FNPT II, I am not so sure it is. Plus you say "still allowed" I am not sure it has ever been allowed.

My understanding is that single pilot and multi pilot IRs are separate ratings.
However, revalidating a single pilot multi engine IR also gives privileges on a single engine.
I expect it depends in what capacity you are operating the FNPT2 sim. Why not ask the guys/gals running the sim?

SE-IFR-SPA Revalidation, what kind of Sim?
Thks. HB and TJ. In order to formulate my question better:
I donīt have neither a ME-SPA IR nor a ME Classrating, only a SE-IFR-Rating.
They wrote in Lasors 2007 (Section E1.5 Revalidation of an IR (A)):
....
An FNPT II or Flight Simulator may be used but at least each alternate proficiency check for the revalidation of an IR(A) in these circumstances shall be performed in an aeroplane.
I want only to revalidate my SE-IFR-Rating, not the SE Classrating, I know that in this case one must fly in an real airplane.
Since I prepare already for a Screening (B737/FNPTII), I would like to use the opportunity to revalidate my IFR SE Rating at the same time.
Does it have to be a FNPTII 1 mot or can it also be a FNPT II 2 mot and/or FNPTII (jet)? I canīt see from Lasors what kind of FNPT II or Flight Simulator they mean.
Possibly we could switch an engine off, then we would have only one - which concerns the FNPT II (Boeing 737)

I was being a tiny bit sarcastic. You cannot renew a single pilot IR in a multi pilot sim.
You mention you have a screening for a B737, I may also like to point out that before STARTING an initial Multi pilot type rating such as the B737, you are required to have a current and valid multi engine IR not single engine.
