IR renewal in sim and class rating in aircraft
 

I did my class rating renewal in a PA 34 but my IR is lapsed and I'm about to do this in a SIM. What is the general view. I know it would be better to do this in the aircraft,but my thoughts about the current weather and hire cost kind of puts me off......any suggestions ???

Any info..?

I know of someone who did the renewal at 4Fources - clearly not an option now.

Can be done mind you.

PS

Tayflite Aviation tel 01738 550003 or <a href="http://www.tayflite.co.uk" target="_blank">www.tayflite.co.uk</a> operate Seneca II-200-Turbos out of Scone airport, Perth, Scotland.

They also have an FNPTII fully approved sim for Approved and non-Approved IRs.

You can renew your IR in this sim, and renew your class rating on the twins as reqd.

I did my IR there and I thoroughly recommend them.

Simulator Training Services at Bournemouth operate a PA44 sim, which can be configured to PA34 to do renewals on.

I just did the test and passed ! phew, however this was at the old 4 forces at Cranfield.(Crew Concept). Things seem to be ok and they gave me all the paperwork I required. How do I log this in the log book and do i need to send the whole licence back to the CAA. Thanks for the advice folks I've saved a few bucks doing it this way !
