Why can't I do my engine out stuff on a C-17 in the sim and call it good rather than giving me a frozen ATPL ? Why isn't the Tornado classed as a multi engine when it clearly has more than one ? Why why why.......


Simple, because they are not manufactured or tested to an internationally recognised standard, hence why all warbirds go on the register as Permit to fly aircraft which is VFR only.....
and where in that list of a C-17 and Tornado I was replying to when you said "nonsense" is a Chipmunk and Bulldog or Tiger Moth??? none of which I would describe as a warbird.

which incidentally I have all of those on my Civil licences............. they were manufactured and tested to a recognised international standard to qualify as they were produced for the Civilian market as well.....
