Aeros, with or without ?
Assuming my Class 2 medical renewal goes OK, I'll be continuing aero instruction at my local school.
Now CAA strongly advise aeros to be committed with parachute attached to person. And of course all gliding is carried out with parachute - the courses I took at Lasham a few years ago got me intimate with wearing the things.
I have already had a couple of aero sessions, however, I have never seen the VERY experienced and capable instructor at my local school troubling himself with a parachute - indeed I have never seen one on the entire airfield (been going there for more than 20 years).
Without getting too specific, the aircraft they use is a lovely, very capable and reasonably new, high wing, tandem monoplane and I suppose you could argue that by the time any ageing pilots have extricated themselves it would all be over.
So - parachutes for aeros?
I'm inclined to raise the topic with them - but what's a good strategy?
