Multi Rating Renewal (MEP)

For the 2008 flying "season" I have decided to renew my multi engine rating on the new Diamond DA42 Twinstar.

I'll be flying from Blackpool airport and will be posting updates as I progress through the training required to fly this new generation aircraft. As it has been many years since my multi rating lapsed I will also have to pass a written exam as well as the flight test. In preparation I have already started studying the flight manual and theory text book.
I can't wait to get started as I have done very little flying recently mainly due to poor weather and too much work! I'm scheduled to start on April 17th but I think that may be delayed.

We'll see soon enough.
