Re: Flying for Real..
Great hear you passed Paul.
Although you have been accredited with the FAA IR do you have to take a Proficiency Check with an EASA examiner when applying for the CAA IR?
Also, yes, it is question time! What is your next move?

Nigel.

Re: Flying for Real..
Ah ha! thanks Mike- that gave me the clue I needed!
This is the aircraft I did the IR in, a PA28-161.
Yes Nigel- I need to now convert it to an EASA IR, but that shouldn't take too long and 75% of it can be simulator work.

Re: Flying for Real..
Wish me luck chaps, I have my check ride to convert my FAA instrument rating on Sunday!
Keep your fingers crossed for the weather, doesn't have to be that good, just no fog!

Well, here's a good luck wish from me, hope you get through with flying colours.

Re: Flying for Real..
Hi!
Yes I did- big relief. The weather wasn't very helpful, so was very pleased when my NDB holds were pretty tight to the numbers!

Re: Flying for Real..
That's brilliant news Paul, really pleased for you. A very good effort considering the weather, so some celebrations will be forthcoming!
Do you have any further plans or training to look forward to?
