PPL Weight Limit
Apologies ift his was asked by me and answered before, somewhere else.. In starting the "New Thread", box opens and the title appears already which suggests it was posted and answred before. If so, I have forgotten the answer and it is still heated debate in the local Taverna,
You chaps on this forum will have the instant expertise to confirm my view and ensure my free drink.
My understanding is that all licences grant the privilege. of operating as P1, up to whatever weight limit. CPL also goes up but is defined. ATP has no weight limit. The HGV of aviation.
Pub question is ; what if a really rich bod, having just won the Euromillions, decides on buying his own , say B747 and wants to fly it himself. Off he goes and gets his PPL. Does he have to go the CPL/ATP route in order to fly his really heavy toy ? Can he fly the 747, Privately owned, registered and operated on his PPL as P1, albeit with other crew on board. Of course.
We. are talking only of licenced privilage. . I mean, is there such a thing as a PPL with no weight restriction ?
Large Jack & coke riding on this one. Thanks.
