Hi all,
The
PR bit follows, but in the meantime, no offense meant about helicopter folk flying accurately.
In microlighting, accurate for straight and level for GST is plus or minus 100ft. Applying that to a 150ft separation gives a 50ft overlap between one person 99ft high and one 99ft low!
And our ATC chap seems to think that many pilots - of all aircraft - have trouble maintaining a constant altitude (he gets to see lots of Mode C - Mode S just tells him who you are, but no-one in Scottish ATC has Mode S - wrong type of sunshine up here????)
Now the
PR bit.
We will have a C42 Ikarus available for hire, shared ownership and traning within the next few weeks. So come and try 80m take-off roll, 1,000ft a minute climb and just 10 litres of mogas an hour (with cabin heat).
Bet you helicopter guys can't beat the third point ;-)
Very best to all flyers,
Colin
