Aaaahh I remember a time a few years back when instructors just had to have a PPL/AFIC
rating. Things then changed when the BCPL was introduced and those instructors already instructing were given grandfather rights and were issued with a BCPL (no exams or flight test required). I know cos I was taught by one in '91, he now flies for JMC.
My point being that do all you doubters seriously believe that all instruction prior to the BCPL was crap!!??? given by poorly trained ppl's , come on!! get a life!!
That system worked fine in my opinion until the CAA screwed it up in the 90's with the BCPL.
Captain Mainwaring your comments are foolish and ill considered.
Wee Weasley if you had read my previous comments you would know that I have not as you said, "Been in aviation 5 minutes", you give out your bad attitude to other forum users so you should be able to take it back.
Oh by the way it is good to know that you can sweep cos a friend of mine crashed his PA28
through the hedge at Welshpool (not hurt thankfully). The A/C was in pieces but dear old cyril always recalls a welsh guy with a broom sweeping up his beloved "Victor Uniform" or what was left of it!
Oh and the bad language, well if you compare
ass to the F-word used by little red train, then I reckon he should get the boot first!
Englishal and Whirlybird are spot on !
