Light Aircraft Association

Ok time to clear this up. These are the instructions in my log book. When the aircraft carries more than one pilot as a member of the flight crew one member shall before the flight be designated as Captain or Commander of the flight and his/her name will be entered in the Captain column......... fly...

Hmmm, A bit of thread drift probably won't harm especially as TCT appears to have no intention to respond to my suggestion she set the record straight without name calling and innuendo. She can have no complaint if it is decided against her again by majority proxy vote if she does not respond with a...

Hi Graham No offence taken. I think by and large you will find RV4’s are keeper, I have sold shares in it but as you can guess I am very picky about who I would let fly it. I sold the Kitfox years ago, I am currently rebuilding the RV9 which went down due to water in the fuel. I am also building a M...

Hi Graham Not pedantic at all, I have flown with instructors and ATPL with thousands of hours who made a complete hash of flying Kitfoxes and Tailwinds. I have been turned inverted in non aerobatic aircraft by PPl A,s who promptly released the controls shouting I have lost it leaving me to recover t...

At least you didn’t go the whole hog and reply.

Yes mate, sometimes it’s the only way to get an unbiased opinion:)

Just proves my point none of us are perfect we can all make mistakes!

I can offer a flight too from Coventry, if I go on my own I will be definitely by Pi and solo. If I take a non pilot passenger I will still be P1, and will still be the sole pilot on board, if you are capable of flying my aeroplane I will still be P1 but dual, you will be P2. If you are an instruct...

Now Tracey

I ask you again if you have an explanation for all of this please post it, and an answer to the other outstanding questions.

Paul


Thanks for a consider and interesting explanation.

Roger Valid arguments......thanks. To Tracy I say this. You have the opportunity to answer your critics on this forum, so far you have not taken that opportunity. I have supported you in pointing out to others why your comments about Due Process and being stictched up have merit. You should have rea...

...but this situation would never have arisen had the LAA Board not allowed its AGM to be used as a vehicle for a campaign of personal retribution by Mr Rutherford and friends On the contrary. This situation would never had arisen had your publicity been factual and when called into question, hones...

For the avoidance of doubt. I was not insulting people with serious illness or disabilities, I was merely pointing out that the capacity/competence of any other person in the aircraft is irellevent. Just for the record, my stroke disabled, semi paralysed wife was perfectly capable of making a 60deg...

“ Trevor Harvey wrote: ..... or a paraplegic dribbling vegetable in a straight jacket strapped to a stretcher on the floor. ” Now that made me proper larf out loud, thanks for that. I saw nothing there to make me laugh. Well, I suppose we all have different senses of humour. Well I have carried out...

Since many non aviators may be reading this I would like to add something about the solo thing: Having another (perhaps more experienced) pilot in the aircraft, even if he/she is just there for the ride makes a big difference. Being able to ask "do you think we should ....." or even listening for s...

Steve Arnold asks I ask again can someone provide details of the evidence which shows she does not deserve this award? TCT in her own words wrote "I had a support aircraft (Cessna Caravan) and for the most part a fantastic team which included the chase pilot, a logistics manager, an engineer, and a...
