Phil, to whom is this course aimed? I'd be interested in coming if it's suitable for a trainee CPL!

Most of us who have done the FSI course have seen the ultimate in cockpit co-operation...

Cracking video Blender I roared at that! :D
Hi John - I'll buy you a lunch! :)
Whirlygig - it's a single pilot course, and you will be welcome. You should gain a lot from it. If nothing else you will meet people.
SASless - I would welcome any bad examples! :)

With an invitation like that who could say no.
Phil
Looks like you can count us both in if you wan't I've organised a no flying day for the 10th just in case.
Gary
Knew you'd come thru ...;) Thanks Vee...Although we better wait for Pacos' nod on the issue...He may think working with both of us together is more of a challenge than he needs for a 'test drive'.... :eek: := .....170' :E

Just spoken to Phil and as long as we promise to sit at the back and be on our best behaviour we are cofirmed as victims for this course.
Cheers
GS
You mean right at the very very back?....Okaaaay! ;)
Whirlygig
27th Dec 2007, 10:50
Uh-oh! The naughty boys at the back!!! If Phil thinks I'm a suitable guinea-pig as well, I'll have to watch you two otherwise you might pull my pig-tails and flick ink blots at me!
Cheers
Whirls
Whirls...
We're absolute gentlemen and your pigtails will be safe in our presence...
See you there...170'
ps...do you still have a school uniform? :O
Whirlygig
27th Dec 2007, 11:23
I do have my old gym skirt somewhere but sadly I doubt I could fit into it now! :{ I went to a trendy, progressive 70s state school where uniform was very lax so no, I don't have a uniform. Best I could probably manage is my old Pony Club tie!
Cheers
Whirls
I understand the gym skirt issue ...Mine's a little tight as well :(
I mean Gym shorts...Gym shorts,Gym shorts....Dang it!....I haven't seen the skirt for years...Honestly!... ;)

Whirls,
Would not that old school uniform look a bit.....errrr....odd worn with the Gold Lame' Go-Go boots you wear as normal daily attire?
I am afraid you would be a distraction sitting anywhere but the very back due to your Beehive Hairdo....must admit I have never seen one of those with pigtails.
That must be a fetching sight!

Sassy dahlink, if you ever show your fair, bearded mug again in Norfolk ......... :E :E .... I'll set your cat on you!!!! :ouch: :oh:
Now. I have accommodation sorted should I be fortunate enough to share the back row with VNe and 170' :} :ok:
Cheers

PS - Sass love - do you ever check your emails?????

My training manual says something about discipline.....:)
Anyhow, I think we've got enough now, thanks - we've got a good spread of experience and I look forward to seeing you all there and listening to all the ribald comments from the cheap seats!

I found today's CRM course at High Wycombe extremely informative and enjoyable. As a recent PPL (H) with aspirations to pursue helicopter flight commercially it was also great to hear the stories and comments from the numerous experienced commercial pilots on the course. With this in mind I whole heartedly recommend the course to others. Paco thanks a lot for all your effort.
Whirlygig
10th Jan 2008, 19:05
Absolutely agreed - thanks paco :ok:. The course was pitched at all levels; for those with 1,000s hours and those with only a few. Great to meet everyone, have a chat and a few laughs, learn from others experiences and mistakes!
Cheers
Whirls
It was nice seeing all you guys - but you missed 170's story about the heart attack (not his) in the 747 afterwards in the bar......

Just got back home to Shropshire!
VMT for your invite to the course today. Did you pass?
Even though I considered myself one of the more experienced attendees it was very interesting to hear anecdotes from other parts of the globe.
Further to my tongue-in-cheek request for a free lunch, in my haste to hit the M40 I didn't offer to pick up the tab for my bacon butty. Please send me your details so I can settle up.
Once again, VMT. Thoroughly enjoyed myself.
John Jackson
Yes, I did, but you can buy me a beer next time we meet!

Many thanks Phil - great day and I enjoyed every minute!
Excellent opportunity to meet & greet - definitely recommend it.
And I owe you a beer as well...:)
Peter Kersey
Thanks Paco...
I Really enjoyed the day!..
I Highly recommend the course for young and old. I think less experienced pilots get some really good food for thought and more experienced people get to re-visit areas generally forgotten about in day to day life...
Additionally, it was nice to meet some proon 'handles' and put a few faces to names. A couple of stalwarts even made a night of it, but somehow I'm sure your not surprised :eek: :D...Thanks again....170'

I also have to say thanks to Phil for giving us his time and being so generous. I also think his idea of inviting some "experienced" guys along was ingenious because it showed us that the rule book might be black and white but life is not and what might look like a bad decision on the face of it could transpire to be inspired.
Shame I did not manage to speak to all of you, but as you well know we already stretched every coffee break to breaking point just by chatting to the person next to you.
I would have to say though the stars where Phil and 170' though the CAA chap was not going to be left behind, very enlightened chap.
We must get together again, that was simply wholesome fun.
Thanks everyone BS
