RT Licence
Just had a thought and it is a shot in the dark-I already hold a VHF Only Radio Licence under Section7 (1) Wireless Telegraphy act 1949, which I obtained in 1980 to allow me to use a VHF set on my boat.
It's interesting that most of the anti-collision regs and aircraft nav lights are the same as marine regs.
I suppose it would be too much to hope for that this is also the same VHF licence as required for the PPL,or that it could be regraded etc?

Not so, I'm afraid.
Even if you had a flight radio-telephony operators licence, it would need to be held in conjunction with a pilot's licence to have remained valid.
It's a fairly simple and straightforward test, so I shouldn't get too concerned

Thanks for the repies and info,it was just a forlorn hope!
My next exam is navigation and luckily a lot of that is also similar to sailing nav.
Just got to master the jolly old whizwheel!

do any of you guys know were you can do the vhf course in the northwest and any contact details if pos
Although some schools run a course to help get you through these tests, most people will find that they cover almost everything they need to know during the course of their flight instruction, and a quick read through CAP413 or one of the other text-books will fill in the gaps.
Any flying school should be able to arrange for you to take the tests. If you have any problems finding somewhere let me know by PM - I'm based at Blackpool, and can arrange for you to do the tests through the school I work at, but you may well find somewhere nearer to home.

There are such courses. Malcolm Dobson at Leeds has run them for years. I believe that a number of other RTF Examiners also run courses. Try ringing arround. The list is here:

Hi Lister
Your contact for the exam/test and some training is Bob Gough who is the SATCO at Norwich Airport - and a nice bloke as well !
PM me if you need contact number.
Oh - and I can vouch for stik's teaching on nav as he did a refresher session for me a few years ago.
cheers

Actually my wife says the whizz wheel is for SADO's
Speed And Distance Outside - Geddit !
At least I think that is what she meant..........
seriously though, it's accuracy that counts when you use the wheel in the exam - and stik is a hard taskmaster in that area.
Was good to meet you the other day at Priory Farm - If you're around another time I'll give you a scoot in the Cub - so you can see the difference between them and the trikes at Old Buck !
enjoy.

Arc - offered your "long haired friend of Jesus" PMO chappy/Cub sharer a learning whiz in the Pitts last Sat am but he didn't show. The wx was not great so perhaps aeros below 3 000' are not his bag.
Best you come over towards the end of the month and have a play in the Tiger Moth as the new owner will want to take her away in December.
Lister, beer = help!
