GA pilots ONLY!
 
May I suggest in light of current pprune trends that the GA forum be restricted to persons flying ac below 3000LB MTOW. There will be no admin fee as we all need the cash to go flying. All perspective members must submit the following:
  • Oily rag
  • Fuel drain tester (used)
  • reciept for an aviation headset below 500USD(Sorry BOSE X users)
  • A map
  • E6B flight computer
  • Current CLASS 3 medical
  • A letter of introduction displaying no hedonistic tendencies
Best,

What addres would you like the duel-drainer sent to? I have just found one in my kitchen...

FullyFlapped 20th Nov 2007 10:07

Excellent idea : I have to say I find the formation of the "Forum for the Golden Ones" hilarious ... still and all, it is their toy after all, and they're entitled to play with it how they see fit ! :D:D:D

Cor, I wonder what they talk about in there ... do you think they have a secret handshake as well ? :eek:

FF :ok:

PS : couldn't knock that max weight up a little, could you ... say by 815 llbs ? Much obliged !

mark sicknote 20th Nov 2007 10:44

Fullyflapped

Hmm...ok we can just squeeeeeeze you in:ok:

Anything above that would def. be considered "professional".

Any handshake considered...as long as the recipient ends up with some multigrade on their hands:}

Best,

Sicknote

LowNSlow 20th Nov 2007 10:48

mark sicknote sorry mate, can't do the multigrade handshake, my old Cirrus is 100W only!!!

Captain Procedures 20th Nov 2007 10:53

Fully flapped, I was sitting with Sicknote in the pub in HK when we came up with this thread. I feel I have some say in the MTOW limit, so, if you are flying something cool at 3815LBS you can join. Providing, of course, that you have an oily rag etc.

TractorBoy 20th Nov 2007 11:00

Do oily trousers count ? :}

Major Major 20th Nov 2007 11:08

I only have a CRP1 and a huge list of hedonistic tendencies.

Phil Space 20th Nov 2007 11:12

Perhaps owners in one forum,renters in another and a special forum for those with money to burn in an old twin:rolleyes:

gpn01 20th Nov 2007 11:18

Oily rag - Oil ? Nope. Use a little for hinges, so don't need a rag
Fuel drain tester (used) - Fuel ?....errr, nope can't see the point of the stuff
reciept for an aviation headset below 500USD(Sorry BOSE X users) - headset ? Sorry, no radio
A map - Phew, yep I qualify there, always keep a Little Chef roadmap handy
E6B flight computer - A WOT?
Current CLASS 3 medical - Nope, don't need one of those
A letter of introduction displaying no hedonistic tendencies - sadly no.
So, looks like I qualify only with the Little Chef map!

sternone 20th Nov 2007 11:44

I guess because of my huge popularity and intelligent comments i'm not allowed...

Nope, I think a twin is pushing it too far - all that asymmetric recovery stuff smacks of professionalism to me, and is deffo in the domain of the Golden Ones ! :p

I think access should be limited to one donk only, and you must admit to having secretly spent time looking at "pilot's watches" in the magazines. Of course, anyone found being able to spell "epaulettes" properly should be barred immediately ...

FF :ok:

vancouv 20th Nov 2007 11:49

And if you insist on logging P2 in a PA28 you definitely shouldn't be allowed in......

Major Major 20th Nov 2007 12:30

Of course you are Sterny. In fact, our mission has to be to see if we can sneak you under the wire into the Golden Ones forum, where you can wreak havoc with our blessing!

HeliCraig 20th Nov 2007 13:10

G-EMMA: How dare you! I work at that esteemed vehicle manufacturer and watch these shiny pieces of expert precision engineering roll of the line and out of the gate every day... (although that could be because the brakes don't work!).

They do NOT leak oil. Ever. No matter how old. End Of Discussion. The End.

:eek::):}:E

PPRuNe Towers 20th Nov 2007 13:17

Land Rovers do not leak oil - they are simply marking their territory.

Unless fording of course as in my avatar. They just steam gently while creating an attractive bow wave.

Kudos to the private fraternity who recognise an absolute piss take on the Rumours and News forum when they see one. It's a regular 18 month cycle of putting the golden ones back in their box when they get uppity.

What's a class 3 medical? I used to have one for my PPL years ago, but now I'm forced to have a JAA Class 2

You must send me four cans of Stella* and 20 Silk Cut* to gain access to the exclusive forum.... :} :}

:D:D:D Any chance of keeping some of them (a very tiny minority of course) locked up in there permanently PPT? :E:E:E

BRL, absolutely NOT! I have no intention of helping anyone to pickle their lungs or innards, it tends to have a nasty effect on their respiratory and liver functions. How about some nice camomile tea instead?

mark sicknote 20th Nov 2007 14:06

Hey Chevron,

Class 3 I'm referring to is the min requirement to hold a Philippine PPL...did my training there and fly there regularly. Need to get home to Inverness and see if Highland Aviation can sort me out with a UK PPL...

I really like this GA forum...we seem to have our feet more on the ground...excuse the pun.

Best,

Sicknote:ok:

Tea. TEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Come on DX, everyone knows I don't drink tea or coffee!!! :}

mark sicknote 20th Nov 2007 14:11

Oh Crap!

:(Have I just been "moderated"?

20 Silk Cut and some Wife Beater heading your esteemed way BRL:ok:

BRL 20th Nov 2007 14:12

You are number one........ :ok:

DX Wombat 20th Nov 2007 14:14

I didn't but I do now so how about a bottle or two of basic Whisky?

Perhaps we need to be a little more practical in this electronic day and age and make a list of questions to be answered properly. Something along the lines of:

1. Under what conditions can you log P2 in a PA-28?
2. What is the expected response if you announce yourself "Ready for Departure" at an airfield with an A/G service?
3. It is a glorious weekend. You are flying VFR from France to the UK and Lille has just cleared you to change frequency to London Info. What can you expect upon changing to the London Info frequency?
4. What is the cheapest deal on hour building in the UK?
5. What is the best headset under USD 500?
6. Under what conditions can you fly VFR on top?
7. Give the proper type numbers for the following Pipers: Cherokee, Cadet, Warrior II, Archer, Arrow.
8. Is the "demonstrated crosswind" a limit or not?

I'm sure we can come up with more.

Major Major 20th Nov 2007 15:18

What is the demonstrated G loading for a Beechcraft/Piper? (delete the one you don't care about)

How is lift generated? Express in terms of lift pixies.

How many times can a C172 barrel roll in succession?

Major Major 20th Nov 2007 15:29

No chance - 2 pixies per square inch?! How big do you think a lift pixie is?

Much better would be no onanistic tendancies!

1 - Never, I don't fly them.
2 - Deathly silence or "You what? What are you on about?"
3 - "Standby" followed by a prolonged silence (a bit like trying to speak to a certain GA-UNfriendly airport only much politer)
4 - TWOC-king?
5 - mine! :) (but it's not for sale)
6 - depends how long it takes the or little C152 to climb up there.
7 - No idea, don't really care or need to know, they are all versions of a flying brick. :E

alvin-sfc 20th Nov 2007 19:05

If theres anymore of this nonsense,it will be time for Mr and Mrs Spank to make a short sharp trip to botty land !:=

stickandrudderman 20th Nov 2007 19:49

I mean, what have the "Golden ones" ever done for us?

maxdrypower 20th Nov 2007 20:02

SARM I cant even go there for fear of being chastised by GEMMA

8 questions, 7 answers, I just cant work out which answer goes with which question. :)

(that's my largest cut and paste ever as well :) :))

You keep a record of the size of cut & paste quotes in your postings?

:eek:

Of course, dont you?

Super idea though. You have my 101% support.

DX Wombat 20th Nov 2007 21:36

Oops! Missed the crosswind one so:
8 - depends on how much you have managed to annoy it and how much it is prepared to put up with.


I mean, what have the "Golden ones" ever done for us?
To be absolutely fair to at least one of them - he helped extricate me from a nasty situation when communication with D&D was extremely difficult. :ok: I've also got several very helpful friends amongst them.

foxmoth 21st Nov 2007 06:32

And many "Golden ones" (assuming by this you mean Airline/commercial pilots) have very oily rags,use fuel drainers,maps etc. and also fly machines well under the weight.:cool:
