Knickers in a twist
The Owen story was in his Times column in November - where he announced his purchase. Then he got injured at the weekend - new year's holiday - slow news - journalist wanting to file copy and push off. So the Telegraph piece was complete speculation about him taking lessons - however it gets read by all other media. They are similarly lazy/bored/want to get to pub/home - so they repeat it.
Way of the world.
Of course they would be better off investigating why 6 top players (incl Rooney, Neville, Beckham) have had the same injury in less than 3 years - why boots don't offer protection to the top of the foot - and why "blade studs" arrival has triggered these injuries.
But that would be asking a journalist to do some research.....and we all wonder why they get aviation stories screwed up.

LASORS states that after 70 hours of twin time PIC, a PPL flight test can be taken on a twin. Someone please shoot me if I have interpretted this wrongly.

Important not to be too sniffy when there's a chance of some positive publicity about helicopters in the mass media.
Mike Smith of Flying TV was on BBC Radio talking about this last night and came across very well – as he should, after all the practice he's had.
The fact that Michael Owen has no intention of learning to fly the thing can be glossed over for the purpose in hand.

Re: Owen buys AS365, starts PPH training
To take a multi engine helicopter (PPL or commercial) rating you must have
A) Passed the theoretical knowledge examinations in accordance with JAR2.470 for the CPL (H), or, hold a certificate of satisfactory completion of a pre entry approved course in accordance with appendix 1 to Jar-FCL 2.255
B) Have completed at lease 70 hours as pilot in command of helicopters in accordance with appendices 1 & 3 of 2.240
In other words complete your ppl then do 70 hours of P1 flying (would have to be on a single as you are not yet twin rated)get head in exam books and then you will be able to start on the type rating course. Oh and have a big bank balance because the insurance premiums will be high indeed.

In good old Germany you are only allowed to do primary training in an aircraft which is certified for 4 seats or less. Leaves it more or less to the old but proven pistons.

2 million?
How old will that be then? Seems a steal for a 365.
I am glad that you can take your PPL(H) in a twin, as that is the plan when the 6 numbers come up. Bit more modest though, a 355 will do fine

FCL-2 states max 4 persons a/c for PPL (H) training. Anyone know of people training on a jetranger..? Perhaps I missed the exemption annexe.

SO an FTO approved to give PPL(H) training as one of it's course's can give PPL(H) training for the issue of the PPL(H) on a helicopter with more than 4 seats.

Re: Owen buys AS365, starts PPH training
Cyclic Flare - just wondering whether Jordan's training started with "weight and balance calculations" ?? D'you reckon she'd understand that?
Flying Pencil - there was certainly someone some years back (rules prob changed since) at Fairoaks who learned on the family B206 and then later did a piston conversion (yes, from a turbine to a piston...) so she could also fly the family R22 gismo. Yes, they had both at that time..

I believe that there was a quote from him in one of the Sunday papers along the lines of: "I believe I'm supposed to be learning to fly a helicopter. That's news to me"
