Can dogs be passengers ?
 

I wondered if my beloved dog was allowed to come on trips in a four seater.

Look here for information:E

Funny !:):)

Sure can ! And here (go 'headsets' > 'dog hearing protectors') you can find a headset for Wuff :ok:

And the best bit is you don't even need 90-day currency to carry them.

Opinion is divided, however, on whether it is legal to allow the dog to manipulate the controls or use the radio....

It's fine : but check it sorts its bladder and bowels out before it
embarks.................

Safe (and odour-free) flying

Cusco:ok:

I don't think you can bring it outside the UK though. International travel with pets isn't so straight forward.

Mrs Stick INSISTS on bringing the dog whenever we go flying, but last time we took him in a cirrus and he chewed through the rear seat belt!
It cost nearly £400:ugh:

My old dog "Sooty" had several hundred hours in the right hand seat before he died, and loved flying. He liked to bark at the sheep in the fields on take off and again on final approach, but settled down to sleep in the cruise, only awaking when he heard the power reduction and gear and flaps going down for landing. I never had any bother taking him flying but when ATC heard him barking over the radio I used to get remarks like "does he enjoy dog fights? he sounds a bit "Ruff" on the radio....":rolleyes:

Stickandrudder,

Only jealous

Quiet dog
 

I took a quiet dog with no problems at all. Well, apart from the problem that you're not supposed to transport animals of any kind from or into Hawarden without special permission and beaurocracy! Apparently due to Chester zoo being nearby; anyway I managed to convince them that the hairy old mutt my passengers had turned up with was just that, a hairy mutt, and not a protected species. The dog slept all the way to Blackbushe and back a week later without a wimper.

I suppose it depends upon the dog. Although as I said above, my old dog Sooty ( a Poodle) was no bother in an aeroplane, I wouldn't dream of taking his replacement, a Dalmatian. As mad as a hatter. It would bring a whole new meaning to the phrase " Give me that stick...!" :E

Back in the early sixties Neville Browning flew from Stapleford Tawney with his spaniel harnessed in his Zlin. After visiting Elstree he would roll inverted after takeoff on 09 displaying the spaniels pendulous ears.

Can you still log a solo XC with a Dog in the next seat?
..." something something about being the sole occupant of an airplane...":E

I tried it once, but the dog couldn't understand why I wouldn't throw the stick for him to fetch :E

Warning: Thread drift!
 

Did you hear the story about a couple of guys that took their brand new range rover onto a frozen lake to go fishing?
The technique is to lob a stick of dynamite some distance from the car in order to blow a hole in the ice through which to fish.
The guys had their dog with them, who had a habit of fetching sticks when thrown and then retreating to the car...............:ugh:

Neville Browning never had a Spaniel. He used to always have Greyhounds and used them for 'coursing'. His main dog was a greyhound called 'Slim'. This was the one he used to take flying with him.

My old springer logged many an hour in the right seat of the Islander with me without any problems.

Mustabin somebody else's Spaniel, then....... ;)
