PPL Annual Hours
Published (2009-11-24 10:52:00)
I think that to hang in something that costs money one needs to have a decent incentive. One incentive is the fun of flying. Another one is "required currency". The rather strange JAA rule that no hours need be flown in the first of the two years is claimed to be responsible for a lot of people giving up. They get their PPL, have little money left, and once they find out they don't need to fly for 23 months, they decide...

Quote: Just to correct Fuji on that statement, the UK ANO was amended in 2007 to mandate the use of oxygen when flying above FL100 up to and including FL130 for more than 30 minutes duration, and at all times when flying above FL130. Islander2 Thank you for the correction. I was aware this was proposed but I thought after the fuss by the GA lobby it was never enacted for private flights?

Well, the legal requirement is that you log your hours. Aerodrome, take-off time, landing time, aircraft type, class, callsign, flight conditions, the capacity you acted in and possibly a few more bits and pieces. How you do that is technically your responsibility. But people seem to be very picky about your logbook style and will point out that you've got the "wrong" one. The flight school I went to sold me one of those...

PPL Licence Issue...Issue!
Published (2009-11-23 20:56:00)
It will take the CAA an absolute minimum of 10 working days to process your licence application, so allow roughly 3 weeks from the date you posted it. This time delay could be reduced if only RFs/FTOs checked peoples' paperwork before they sent things off to the CAA. When I did a PPL Skill Test, I'd grab a coffee and quietly go through the applicant's paperwork whilst he/she was planning the navigation part of the Skill Test....

Re 'couldbase' and 'ceiling', I'd think you could define the cloudbase as the bottom of the lowest clouds, but the ceiling would be the base of the first layer of broken or overcast (which could have, say, scattered below, giving you a lower cloudbase than ceiling). I could also be talking rubbish. Any votes?

Very bizarre. The image and accompanying text refer to the airplane, however the form beneath it refers to a on-bedroom flat (that said, I'm sure IO540 will be around in a minute telling us that a TB20 can, in fact, be used as a one-bedroom flat ).
I suggest you give the lawyer whose phone no is at the bottom of the page (preface it with 0049 and drop the leading zero) a call to find out....

Hi not an owner but have flown the aircraft, it is a high performance aircraft, fairly slippery with a lively roll rate. Timed a firefly aerobatic machine against the cirrus 22 and not much between them in roll.
The newer machines have increased dihedral and are more stable.
I dont think the aircraft are especially dangerous probably more to do with low time inexperienced pilots out of...

Surely a case for their defense would have been that they flew as far away as possible for the protected area whilst placing their aircraft only 50' of Class A. Further to this, although I am only speculating, was both the Aircraft and Pilot in Command capable of legally entering Class A? If not then their hands are tied and a case is to heard against the relevant authority for placing the lower ...

Hi there,
I'm from Ireland too and did some of my training in Ireland so I will try and give you some info regarding my experiences that may be helpful to you I hope.
Firstly I think it is impossible to predict what the job market will be like in 18 months unfortunately - who knows really?
I did my PPL in Ireland, some hour-building and CPL here too.
I think this goes without ...

For my C150 roughly:
Insurance: 1100,-/year
Maintenance: it depends
Hourly fuel costs: Mogas 19l x 1.6= 30/hr, Avgas 19l x 2.3=44/hr
CofA including 100hr check and avionics: 900,-

I think the response of PH-SCP actually supports what several of us say. I can think of very few organisations that would supply such a comprehensive report of the faults found that the owner could source the parts needed for the repair. Normally they would just return it with the comments "beyond economic"" repair. I will therefore stick by my endorsement of HSL.

Not really a "line" but I like the one where Howard Hughes (DiCaprio) is running his hand along some woman's "part" and in the next scene he is running it along an airframe making sure the rivets are flush.

No.
Oxygen is highly inflammable and they won't take it. Considered dangerous goods.
Any compressed gas is difficult. I've taken diving tanks with nothing but compressed air and airlines have thrown wobblies - demanding they be emptied, the valves removed, etc. etc.

Hi Oscar
Having done loads of spinning this year on a gliding instructor's course, my twopennorth is as follows. A classic spin entry is an over-ruddered turn at low speed, whereas in the sideslip situation you describe, you have exactl the opposite - in other words, loads of out-of-turn rudder, so the configuration is inherently spin-resistant. The biggest problem is recovery from the ...

I will second what Moona said. If i had my time again, i would have done all of my exams before i left the UK. I did 2 exams before i left and a lot of studying. Buy the books atleast a few months in advance to get a " grounding" knowledge and it may also be a good idea to have atleast an hour in the air to put all of the theory into a practical scenario. It helps!

1. FL130 in a G reg, but this is not mandatory,
2. At its simplest aircraft can be individually interrogated, which is not possible with mode C. The response will include the aircrafts unique identity. Enhanced mode S also provides other flight parameters (speed, heading etc., but rarely applicable to units installed in GA aircraft.
