Hi all,
I note that students can do a 15 hour CPL course rather than a 25 hour one if they hold a course completion certificate (CCC) for the Basic Instrument Flying Module. Being in the final throes of my ATPL theory exams I am looking towards the practical training and would like to ask advice on the following :-
1. Is it commonplace that training organisations offer this as a stand-alone course? If so, any recommendations in the south of England?
2. I have been unable to find if this course has any pre-quisites to entry, perhaps because it may require the same exams as the full IR due to being the initial part of the full IR? My ATPLs are not yet completed so wouldn't count I don't think. Any thoughts?
3. A Course Completion Certificate is required for the reduction of hours. Are all establishments that do the training able to issue this?
The reason I'm asking is that if I could do this during the tail end of my ATPL studies it would give me a bit of a head start on the CPL before actually starting it.
Other than grade 5 piano I have no instrument-related qualifications whatsoever such as IMC, IR(R) etc.
It seems so simple that I MUST be missing something..
For the purposes of this post I'm not considering the current virus-related situation.
Any advice appreciated,
Danny
