The DGAC requested a few amendments to the paperwork; I re-submitted the revised paperwork last week. This must then be formally presented by the CAA for DGAC acceptance. More news as soon as we get it. The intent was to have everything in place for early summer. I appreciate that it seems to take a...

Chris, I intend to produce a list of medicals which will be acceptable, and publish it with the final ICAO compliance document. Please be aware that some states do file differences with ICAO and so may/may not be on the document. It will almost certainly become a matter of what the CAA will accept i...

J.C. I have put a post on the Flyer forum stating that I am happy for ALL PCS Coaches to go onto this list. Also if you would like a coach to be in attendance, for Class Rating Revalidations and advice, at the BB Fly-Ins that you are organising, please contact me. I am in the process of arranging a ...

A list of coaches has been entered into Google Maps. The list contains names, telephone numbers, and some with e-mail addresses.

Locate your nearest coach, and give them a call to arrange your licence revalidation.

Nigel, The "company" will pay for either! The main disadvantage is the following: UK ATPL: In built IMC privileges, therefore no IMC test required. JAR-FCL ATPL: No in built IMC privileges. Your IR is a multi-pilot IR. Therefore, if you want to use IMC privileges (including reduced VFR minima) in yo...

Jon Great news. Any chance of getting an exemption on the continent next? Starting with, say, just France? Well done, Simon C Work in progress. I have been working on this very subject over the past week.......no promises or timescales, as the simple answer is I don't know. You find a PPL mate to f...

Steve,

Whilst the Channel Islands are within the boundary of the Brest FIR, they are actually in the Channel Islands Control Zone, extending from mid-channel (50N) from the surface to FL195. If you route via ORTAC, you will not enter French airspace.

Dear all, I have recently been involved in negotiations, on behalf of the Light Aircraft Association, with the Jersey and Guernsey authorities to acquire permission for NPPLs to fly to the Channel Islands. I should point out that this was not a sole effort, but was completed by a team from both the ...

Thanks Mike. Jon Cooke Regarding your statement " ' one hour flight with an instructor' you are PUT " , My instructor says to enter P1/S in my logbook, who is correct ? Regards Les Your instructor is wrong ;-) The instructor must act as PIC and the student as PUT for any training, including the hour...

Trevor, The instructor acts as PIC for the 'one hour with an instructor', and you are PUT. As such the instructor must be fully qualified and current (licence, class rating and instructor qualification, together with differences completed) to fly the aircraft. Clearly in the first case they were not...

Dear Mike, Article 11 (4) was inserted into the ANO in order to allow microlights and gyroplane training to be legal without the need for an exemption. The required permissions are included on the aircraft's Permit to Fly. Flight tests are legal in SEP/SSEA Permit to Fly aircraft if un-remunerated. ...

Dear LAA members, The AIC follows a meeting I arranged with the CAA to clarify a number of issues with training on LAA aircraft. This AIC deals with remunerated training in LAA aircraft. The LAA also hold an exemption which permits remunerated training beyond the scope of this AIC for the Pilot Coac...
