Intersection - The Aircraft is a 2 year old metal side-by-side two seat low wing, 160hp, rated to +6 and -3.5

We're pretty much only flying pos. figures, and haven't gone beyond +4.5; It's a school aircraft, the club itself doesn't have chutes, and none of the members seem to bring their own. I'm not sure if this is a brit thing, a club thing, a 'only-flying-a-trainer' thing.

Certainly our british aero comp regs don't require them.

Maybe I should see if the club can be persuaded to buy a pair of chutes. It would seem daft for each member to be buying one. Otherwise it's a very expensive cushion that I might just have to buy.
