Type rating for MD500 n the UK (preferably South East)

Hello everyone. Am looking for recommendations for MD500 type rating provider. I usually fly EC120's out of EGKR, but there is a regional shortage of such for a variety of reasons. thanks. James

I have recently bought a Hughes 500 and may be interested in renting it out, or selling a share. I know a couple of very good instructors who could do your rating. It would have to be at Gloucester or Blackpool though. PM me with your contact details if interested.

Steve.

I believe EBG (EGKR) are looking at getting a H500 (G-FASH) for type rating and rental. Give Ken a call.

thanks for pointers....

I appreciate your communal help on this. Am looking at the various options and am in touch with a few of you.

I look forward to lifting the lever in an non-EC120 manner in the near future!

thanks

James
