In addition to that - have you ever tried making a phonecall from inside the noisy cabin of a GA aircraft?
Yes, and it was extremely easy. I couldn't hear a bloody thing, but making the call was simple! Joking aside, though, isn't that becoming easier with new headsets that allow you to plug in, or bluetooth your phone?
This query prompted me to look in Pooley's, which is the only book I carrywith me in the aircraft, to check whether it did actually have crib sheets for
- light signals
- marshalling signals
- interception procedures
Good idea. I got marshalled at Le Touquet once, but had completely forgotten the signals. I did go home and relearn them, but must confess I've probably forgotten them again.
