Mention was made earlier in this thread about flying a Turbulent at the Tiger Club. When I was a member you had to not only be checked out on the Super Cub (L-18) first but also on the Tiger Moth before you were allowed to fly a Turb.

However, it has also been suggested that flying a Jodel was a close approximation to a Turbulent, and the Tiger Club does have a Jodel D150 which is still available to members (well, it was when I last checked).

Either way, a good place to go!

Microlights account for a significant amount of LAA aircraft, and most LAA coaches have experience of instructing on a wide range of microlights.

The first definitely happened and caused me a great deal of professional trouble at the time. This was in the early days of the coaching scheme - roughly circa 1998 or 1999. I'd have do some digging for the date and registration,but certainly recall the airfield and coach's name.

That article says "all aircraft within the remit of the Light Aircraft Association". That obviously includes all microlights on LAA Permits, but I can't see how you can interpret that as including anything with a BMAA permit - including the flexwing pictured in the article.

Really can't see why a check out in a Tiger Moth should be a pre-requisite for flying the Turb. Totally different aircraft and handling qualities.

Currently still working on the Turbulent. But I'm hoping to do my tailwheel training with the Tiger Club shortly.

I gather requirements have changed over the years, but now most of the tailwheel training is on the cub, with a short flight on the CAP10 to get you used to lighter controls, prior to soloing on a Turbulent.
