The only hard thing about flying is the ground!

Don't worry about all the nav bolleaux - just get a GPS as soon as you've got yr PPL (attrib Lyc 6 cyl :E)

FAA system is the only way fwd!

JAA has it in for overseas based N reg's.

Could I flythat? Hell I could fly the box it came in!

It was going fine for me all day yesterday and was perfect when I put it in the hangar last night.

They all look/sound/move like that, it's quite normal.

BA five weeks ago "We will refund the cost of the flight we cancelled"

EASA is here to improve things by proportionate regulation based upon aviation knowledge.

When told by ATC no transponder: "Ah yeah its been acting up lately"
Then quickly turning it from stdby to alt...

This will be an EASA Minor Mod. It was last time we did it.

"Sorry we're late back. Pre-flight checks have all been done and it's just been re-fuelled so off you go!"

This from the instructor before my QXC. On landing at Southend I spotted a mark on the prop. The "Pre-flight checks" had not included removal of the towbar, which had bounced into the propellor arc and been hurled to one side as they taxied out for the previous sortie without them even being aware of it.

"The annual's all complete and she's ready to go." (Apart that is from the pair of pliers sitting on top of the cylinders."

"We never touched the trim" After a very quick circuit holding the stick forward aginst full nose-up trim due to mis-rigging when collecting an aircraft from repair.

They're all like that.

I did a DI three weeks ago & there was absolutely nothing wrong with it! If we can get it in, we'll get it out, trust me.

How hard can it be?

Sorry chaps, I forgot to add the VAT. ;)

Oh, well, the POH forbids intentional spins, loops and barrel rolls but you can still do them if you know what you're doing.

Love the idea of an unintentional loop.

BackPacker 9th Jul 2010 08:05

Actually I've done unintentional spins, loops, barrel rolls, avalanches and a few other aerobatic figures. But they all started out as another aerobatic figure and went wrong halfway through.:ugh:

Turning a loop into an unintentional avalanche came as a suprise to all on board though. Note to self: Must remember to loosen the backpressure on the stick *completely* when near the top of the loop, and to keep the ball in the middle. Especially in an aircraft with very little pre-stall feedback.

Your PPL will only cost you 45 hours of instruction time.

NazgulAir 9th Jul 2010 10:56

Those fuel gauges are always pessimistic.

You can land at XXXX after ATC has gone home. Just be able to speak French!

Small planes don't have to pay the handling charge.

Avgas available here at low prices.

Don't worry, it won't spin.
