What is an LPC then!?
SO there is no post qualification training or checking except in the Mil....? really? don't we all do LPC's? ever tried to SFH without a check ride!? some of us pay for our flying and take it seriously and safely, others have the taxpayers pay for their flying and appear to be out of touch with GA. let's share the sky amicably and not resort to ill informed slagging off? afterall in 2012 the Mil boys and girls will be shutting down whole areas of the UK for the Olympics as their own playground to practice in and patrol in all weathers!
