Just kidding! Quick brag to say I've finally passed all of my PPL exams and I have to say the worst one was the RT Oral - I was sweating buckets!
As for the Thom books, there are more than enough gaps in my knowledgs for me to hang on to them....
So then, some general questions that have been bugging me....
1) If I was flying as PIC with another pilot in the right hand seat who has an IMC and I inadvertently got into some major IMC weather - could he take over from the right seat (if I felt unable to continue safely) or would I continue as PIC. I'm interested in the legal aspects rather than the personal issues.
2) My belief, without any first hand knowledge is that Gliding will definitely improve my general flying skills post PPL in that use of the rudder, speed/distance judgement will improve and in the hopefully unlikely event of a fan stop I will be far better at setting up the aircraft for the glide and forced landing. What do you think?
3) Just say that a PPL had to take over in the event of a hijack on an airliner (every PPLs fantasy I reckon
) due to pilot incapacitation. Would any hours be loggable if obviously he/she doesn't have a type rating?
4) If a PPL had an Instructors Rating and owned a FTO where does this leave the ruling about not being able to derive any monetary benefit from the Rating?
5) I'm not considering this one so don't worry. BUT I think stiknruda mentioned that he has taken dogs in a light aircraft with him in the past. Can you put them in the seat and strap them in or how does it work?
6) Can you do the equivalent of a MATZ penetration in the US or is it a big NO NO due to recent events?
For the rest of you who managed to get up today and do some real flying instead of thinking about it - I hope you had a good one!
Happy flying, Sennadog.
