I'm off to Florida in 10 days and still waiting for the Letter of Approval from the FAA Less than 10/10 to the boys'n'gals in Oklahoma on this one. Though it's not quite panic stations yet, and I have to say that the FTO I'm renting from has been very helpful in offering to chase them up.
Have been reading these comments with interest. Can I check something please? FFF, your reference to a PPL not being allowed to fly with pax did refer only to student pilots, didn't it? I have a PPL, but will also be carrying a passenger/second opinion/scapegoat. (Very flying-savvy, but not licenced). It would scupper everything if that caused problems.
I would appreciate any hints and tips. I've never flown outside Europe before. The place which is renting me the aircraft has warned me that I'll find the R/T very different.
Anything else? (Apart from the alligators).
