BULLDOG
Historically PPL training could not be done on a variable prop aircraft (Bulldog). However having said that I can't find any supporting document for this.
It may be that this rule still exists or has disappeared. Perhaps it is like the Air Law pre-solo rule that doesn't exist.
I'll keep looking

<JC is a gentleman, a superb intsructor and quite frankly the best pilot I have ever had the pleasure to sit next to.>
Completely agree with that.
And regarding the bulldog - if I was on 20 hours or so, i'd probably consider it. But saying as I'm now getting fairly close to the GST (theory exams aside
) I might as well leave it until I've qualified. I'm certainly looking forward to flying it, though!
Felix - fun isn't it. I'm sure you'll be there again very soon - it's hard to keep away once you've been bitten!

Me think's I have hit a nerve......
You were not fussy the last two flights Mr P D !!!!!
Must ask JC if there is any truth in the rumour that he taught Biggles to fly..
Felix : It will be fun and it will be pain but at the end of it all you get a nice pair of shiny wings and to cap it all a poo brown plastic folder with a PPL inside ( it should be leather embossed in gold for the cost ) Enjoy.

V Prop & PPL
The PPL course can be done on the bulldog, but the skills test must be done on a fixed pitch aircraft. So its six and two 3's whether you do any time on the dog.

Where does it say that? I can't find any reference to that rule in LASORS.
I did my skills test in a tailwheel aircraft, which has similar rules for signoff as a VP Prop.

GonTek,
Nah, your flying skills are fine matey
And, as for......
I have it on very good authority that JC taught Wilbur & Orville their 'stickmanship'. I did hear that the Montgolfiers asked him for some help too but he was too busy gardening! I also think that JC is the 'Stig' off BBC2s TopGear but I can't get Jeremy Clarkson to confirm this.
Edited to spell 'Jeremy' right............DOH!! I'm getting my JC's mixed up now!!

Carefull what you say PD, JC may read this and we will be up on a charge.
He did not go to the Montgolfiers cos he was at the aero club bar ,Scotch in hand and Lord help anybody brave enough to get in the way of "Scotch"...
biggles wasn't that good anyway.

I wouldn't imagine taking your girlfriend up would be a problem. But i guess it's up to the individual school. At my school, one guy took his gf along on all flights where the instructor was onboard.
