Christmas Presents for a PPL

Of course - one would only use this experimentally for LVP's and the occasional CAT 111C approach but if Santa popped it in the stocking come Christmas day - one would not be disappointed.

What would your perfect present be?

Does it come with a free IMC rating?


Thought not.

I think this obviates any of that messy requirement for instrument training. Permanent VFR

On Aircraft Shopper Online I like the look of the following craft for Christmas:

However I fear many boys and girls would not get any pressies if I bought it.

It is probably now true to say that given the current political debate over the use of “reasonable force” to deal with an intruder into one’s gaff – Santa will probably experience a culture shift when he drops down the chimney with the GNS530’s – unannounced this year.

My ambitions for unflyably foggy days over christmas are a little more modest, I'd like one of these to play with.

Nice one G.

I'm just going to ask nicely for a few flyable days, preferrably on the weekends, between two weeks ago and March/April.
