EOL
Helinut,
However, the requirement for full EOLs has been in UK requirements for ever, for singles anyway. So for the UK, the JAR makes little difference.
This may well be a requirement but in reality it is ridiclous to expect a PPL to be able to carry out an EOL on his GFT. (Not my words but from several examiners who i have produced students ready for test)
A very experienced examiner from Blackpool said to me that he would not expect a pilot with less than 500 hours to be able to carry out an EOL sucessfully so how is it possible for a 50 hour ppl to complete this on his GTF, maybe the CAA know the answer?
One thing i do know for sure is they wont be completing this exercise in my machine.
In the UK we are fortunate to have many experienced pilots who are capable of completing the EOL sussessfully during training on an airfield. If you travel to the USA (Florida) and ask them for EOL training very very few are willing to complete this exercise.
