I'd like to here more about this flying at Herts uni. It is new to me and i am in my final year now (aerospace systems) and have heard nothing except for the final year flying course that gets you a go in a warrior and the R22 at Elstree. Fortunately i learnt to fly jut before my industrial placement just over a year ago, but have always hoped the university would have a club to bring the costs down a bit. I guess its not a typical student hobbie!! Let me know anything and if not, then good luck for organising something. If it wasn't my final year i'd help out.

Rich49, in answer to your original query the answer lies in LASORS (get a copy from the CAA website - £10 plus P+P) and is on page 6 of Section C. Briefly, you have to: meet PPL issue minimum hours (which you will have with a UAS course), do a qualifying cross country flight with 2 landaways, pass the PPL ground exams including R/T practical, and pass the Skills Test. I'd recommend a couple of hours getting used to civvy aerodromes and procedures first. A couple of the lads at JEFTS were in the process when we closed but I don't know how far they got.
