uk weather - Page 2 - PPRuNe Forums
Published (2009-11-08 18:08:00)
Quote: If half your lessons are cancelled then book twice as many. Not sure that will work if the problem is lousy weather or a mismanaged school/club. In my PPL, I booked a lesson for almost every day (i.e. 90 lessons) over the Oct/Nov/Dec period, and got 3 (three) lessons done. It just rained solidly, or lots of gusty winds. Doing the PPL in the UK is usually frustrating. Especially as very often one cannot fly for reasons not readily...

GA pilot buzzes Santa Monica...
Published (2009-11-08 22:07:00)
I'm not sure. Santa Monica is pretty close to LA class B (just north of lax) and if it is real, it looks like he is close to busting the airspace. Not only that, he is performing aerobatics within X miles of a federal airway (V107 goes over santa monica) and so would be busted on that too.

several general PPL questions
Published (2009-11-08 21:15:00)
Groundschool is not a requirement, at least not in the UK, so it's irrelevant whether this is recognized or not. But the PPL exams are country-specific so if you do all the ground exams in the UK, I can't imagine the Icelandic authorities recognizing that. Something else. I'm a bit worried about your desire to find the cheapest solution possible. You do realize that after the 8000-15000 euro PPL you've got to spend...

EIR, IMC rating and Jim Thorpe

Quote: bose-x, yet again you appear unable to differentiate between criticism of an individual and criticism of his policies or proposals. I can indeed differentiate which was the very reason I made comment. As VanHorck says, cool down a little and reflect on what you write. This is clearly an emotive subject to you, but personal abuse is not called for and will not change anything. If you wish to take issue with me directly then I suggest...

I can only concur. Of all the private pilots I know not one has a current IMC, three (out of the 10) definitely had an IMC at some time, but let it lapse years ago. I doubt any of us would be up to a tight spiral climb and thirty minute transit with potentially an IFR arrival. I'd like to think I could manage - but then I'd also like to think I'm handsome, rich and irresistable - then I wake up!!!

I am suprised nobody has answered this yet.
The JAA IR must be done at a professional flight training organisation and these use certain training materials, so this is what you need to get because the exam questions will be constructed on the assumption you have studied from those materials.
The JAA question bank is also now available, so you can check you have got the right answers! ...

You can fly *anything* on a PPL, provided that you have the appropriate type rating. And stay within the limits of your license, so you cannot get paid for the flight and have to pay at least an equal share of the direct costs of the flight.
However, the type rating exam for those kinds of aircraft are typically to ATPL standards. Which are kind of hard to achieve if you're just a ...

AOPA knew that Thorpe was proposing this ludicrous idea as long ago as February this year....
However, you may rest assured that strenuous efforts are now being made to lobby FCL.008 and others to rip up and throw away the so-called EIR and instead to promote a lightly modified form of the UK IMCR which should be acceptable to the rest of the EC.
Sadly though, the damage done by ...

It will depend on why the rules have changed and how much scope the local regulator has to allow grandfather rights. Each case is assessed individually in my experience - and sometimes a transition period is specified rather than an open-ended right for anyone who is already doing 'it' to continue to.
Strangely enough, my experience suggests that the CAA tries to permit people to ...

Humm. There is no doubt you are a 'young person'. Why should there be 'any help'?
If you want to do something then it is about working it out (or not) but actually finding a way to do it. My daughter has similar thoughts (although a different ambition). She seems to think that society should make it easy for her to get what she wants, I counter with the obvious question of why?

Yep that is SLICK! Great program, now if you make this do ALL preflight
functions, weather, Notams etc., then I reckon you could clear up the
preflight planning market.

I suspect your question will generate a large number of opinions and different procedures, but I will start with my tuppence worth.
Beacon - As you say, on before start and off after engine stopped, for the reasons you gave.
Nav lights - During the day I doubt if they have any real benefit to assist in making the aircraft conspicuous. However you will find that larger aircraft display nav ...

Is it simply a cast of landing at too slow an IAS? Would flying with slightly more speed give you increased elevator authority just when you need it?
Worth a try.

You would be mad to buy an N reg plane, re-register it on the G reg and then leave it in the USA......absolutely barking mad......Why would you want to do this? If it is for licencing issues, it is a piece of cake to convert to the FAA.....or do you want to do something a bit more sinister, like JAA Flight Training?
Doubtful you would find any EASA approved maintenance organisations in the ...
