Hi Auster Fan

The concept of using mixed Viking & Vigilant schools within the current basing model is flawed on a number of levels:

It's too complex in terms of pilot currency for weekend only staff
It's complex to operate 2 different types of ground operation - including fire cover
Propellers and conventionals with inexperienced ground handlers - recipe for disaster/accident..........
Many sites not wide enough to get separation required
Noise issues
Hangarage
Fuel storage

So many - I can't even begin to cover them all.

I am amazed that the idea was even floated..................

shows a complete lack of understanding from the higher levels...........
