I have posted questions for friends on PPRuNe. And I'm sure I'm not the only one who's done that.
Yeah, frequently. Not all pilots are computer literate, and in my experience most aren't. We're a minority here, folks
I've often been chatting over a beer about flying and a question has come up which I cannot answer - but I know where to ask, so i'll post. I can imagine having a "i'd like to go commercial, but i've done ... in the past, do you think it matters" conversation. Bit of a shame if that makes people assume that i'm unfit to have a licence, eh?
