Huddy Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 What would it take for someone to get the Group 4 IFR if they have an Group 1 which lapsed in Feb 2007 ? As far as I understand I have two years before having to write again. I hold commercial fixed wing with about 3500 hrs. Was an IFR training Captain on Navajos, and I have the Commercial Heli with Night rating and about 800hrs on robbies. Also any training schools out west, I'm in edmonton. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 Think it depends on your experience? Got a buddy doing that right now and I don't think he has to do the full 20 sim/ 20 flight hours. Think he said he's only doing 30 total between the two. Not a big difference but better than nothing.

Huddy Posted September 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 I have well over the required 50 hrs x-country and 40 hrs instrument aswell as the INRAT written. So I'm just wondering if a certain amount would need to be helicopter only or is it as simple as training to a recommend and then a ride with an examiner ? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 For the group 4 you only need 5 hours IFR training in the heli, the rest can be in a plane to help cut the costs. Might be best to call up Tansport Canada and see what they'd credit from your group 1 to a group 4. The folks at Pro IFR and Heli College on the west coast might know too, they're the main IFR heli trainers out west. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
