class 1

On another note, what is everyone paying for a re-validation these days?

Well seawater adds a fair bit of weight to the lift so I am not sure if the rotor head could cope with the stress. If anyone has seen the video of G-TIGK being salvaged.... it wasn't very dignified!

Chance would be a fine thing. No IR is an absolute must. Single engine will cost you between 25k - 30k, multi and your talking around the 40k mark.
