I think the Chipmunks were used for initial CPL GFTs.
GFT 1 - Navigation GFT 2 - General Handling GFT 3 - Instrument Flying GFT 4 - Night Flying The Doves were used for initial Instrument Rating tests. Initially all 4 GFTs were done in the Chippy but then something happened to make them rethink and after that only twins (Doves?) were flown at night. |

What were their Chipmunks used for and when did they dispose of them?
G-AMMA went to Denmark via the Luton Flying CLub and the College of Air Training. It currently flies there in pseudo RCAF markings: http://www.chip-chaps.dk/wp-content/.../02/OY-DHJ.jpg G-ANWB lives at Blackpool, though I don't think it flies much now, if at all: http://www.airport-data.com/images/a...421/421823.jpg |
Chipmunks were used for CPL flight check. Doves for instrument ratings. That was a challenge if you had not flown either types before. Both thorough and fair. Unusual attitudes on basic instruments only was always interesting.
