To renew or not to renew
Just a question from those in the hiring market
Is it better to renew ones licence every year or every second year? I have heard that when you get hired by an airline your sim and line training re-validates your ratings.....so why re-new a licence now when there is no positive up turn in the market. Apart from getting rusty which you can brush up on every 2nd month in a sim is there any person out there who hires for the airlines and wouldn't employ someone without a current rating??? Just asking....:confused: :( |
There are definitely airlines that require your licence, ratings and medical to be current, before they will even accept an application from you. That was the case with Astreaus.

I renewed last year and will do the same - if I need to - this year. If you were recruiting and had the choice of someone who's IR/MER was current and someone else who's wasn't all other things being equal who would you take?
Its not that expensive, if you want to you can do it on a sim, that said the if you shop around the aircraft can be just as cheap. |
JAR-FCL says you cannot start training for a multi pilot type rating unless you have a current multi engine instrument rating (check JAR-FCL 1.250).
You decide whether you should keep your IR current........ Cheers |
I agree with worzel and IRRenewal and I'm certainly keeping mine current for the valid reasons they mention. Best of luck.
