IR(H) - Information
All information and thoughts appreciated....
1) Can anyone recommend a place to do a IR(H) course post-Brexit? Is there really any cost saving in having an ICAO IR(H) first?
2) Can anyone recommend a place to do a IR(H) (plus MCC) on Bell 212/412? Apparently CAE cannot offer a stand alone course.
3) If Bell 212/412 SP already on license, does this negate the need to do the type rating as part of the course (and therefore reduce the total cost)? Or would it just be cheaper to do the type rating + IR on 355/135 etc.?
4) With more than 3 years having passed since last ATPL exam completed, am I correct in saying that I need to resit 5 IR exams? Do I need to be signed off by an ATO to sit these (as was the case for the ATPL exams)? Or given I've already satisfied the training requirement when sitting ATPL exams, can I just sit the IR exams without having to go through an ATO?
5) ATPL exams were all done in UK. Can anyone recommend a country / authority for sitting the required IR(H) exams post Brexit?
Thank you.

1.Starspeed, Babcock , Castle air or Helicopter services ? yes FAA IR will work out cheaper
2. no idea
3. Would be far cheaper to do a new type rating on a light twin ex.. 135 or 355 > second twin 3 hours
4. Yes they have expired and you need to resit them, but you can self certify to sit them.
5. doesn't matter where you sit them , cost higher in the UK
What's the job situation right now for offshore gigs? I'm primarily looking at Germany and the offshore windfarms, working abroad is also a possibility. Since onshore utility flying is nothing you can do longterm (money is crap, social life and regular time off is nonexistent) I was wondering if the huge investment for a ME-IR is worth it right now. Would be nice to have regular scheduled time off and decent pay at one point in my life ;-)
I have 2200 hours, 900 hours SET, no ME hours.
Cheers

What to do....
Very true. And since I don't see myself doing my current job until I retire I think I will look into the IR. I am refreshing my 4 IR subjects already so that's that.
Just wondering what the chances are of walking into a Cojo-Job straight away in Europe right now or in the next few months

The last that I heard, the offshore industry is still 'on it's arse'. Have you seen many/any adverts recently for P2 positions? A Babcock S92 in ABZ, maybe? Good luck with that one.

My curiosity on the Babcock S92 co-pilot positions got the better of me. I'd never heard of CAP 1938 before. Investing in your own ME-IR is a lot of money to spend if at the end of it a PA finds you to be unsuitable for the role.

If you’re on the continent, get yourself over to meet the hoisting operators. They’ll give you a good indication as to if and when they’ll need folk. It’s all about making an informed decision.
