None. ANO 2016 Schedule 10 contains the document carriage requirements. From summary here for non-EASA aircraft: http://www.caa.co.uk/Blog-Posts/The-revised-Air-Navigation-Order/ Schedule 10 covers document carriage requirements. For non-EASA aircraft on operations other than public transport, there...

Hi John, I've spent a few evenings compiling an article which should appear in this month's Light Aviation and will hopefully answer most questions about the new self-declaration which replaces the NPPL Medical Declaration. EASA licences and national licences (UK PPL and NPPL) can be validated with ...

Part-NCO was implemented in EASA states during 2013. The UK CAA have already applied the maximum derogation permitted up to August 2016, so a further exemption to this is unlikely. LAA Permit to Fly aircraft will be required to comply with the requirements of the ANO, and not Part-NCO. The ANO Revie...

Given our previous correspondence via e-mail, it's a little disingenuous to attack me personally Steve. I have deliberately refused to insult or point fingers because I as I have said appreciate those who help voluntarily. I would ask that no one post anything that could be construed as such. Chris'...

Steve, Two of our coaches ( 1 )( 2 ) are CAA Senior Examiners and Flight Instructor Examiners who have extensive experience of training and testing instructors and examiners, so we are well placed to make such an assessment. Where a pilot applies to become a coach and already holds an instructor cer...

Every time I meet up with GASCo at an event we discuss the possibility of putting the report into the public domain now that it is no longer likely to generate sales Brian, you will know that I'm involved with GASCo as one of their Regional Safety Officers and presenters of GASCo Safety Evenings de...

The spin/no spin training argument has been going on since they altered the syllabus many years ago. Whilst there is no full spin training in the PPL syllabus, there is still incipient spinning (Exercise 11: Spin Avoidance). This is also a required item on the CRI and FI Assessment of Competence. F...

More to the point, are so far those they've jumped on been BMAA or LAA etc. members ? - who one hopes are diligent enough to check notaminfo.com and/or other simple on-line devices (all free). We have provided support, guidance, and training, to a number of LAA members over recent years who have fo...

In response to several requests from members, I have included below a list of resources which LAA coaches, independent CRIs, and flying schools, may find useful. LAA INFORMATION Find your nearest LAA coach Google Map of LAA coaches with contact details embedded Which aircraft can each coach instruct...

Thank you Brian and Steve for your comments and feedback. My solution would be for the PCS to embrace the CRIs, not see them as the opposition. The more specialised talents of the PCS coaches could so easily be used to run seminars for CRIs to improve their skills and training methods You will be aw...

Steve, thank you for your comments. LAA members may make contact with LAA coaches directly through the telephone and e-mail details available for each coach on the LAA website under "Pilot Coaching > Find a Coach".

The LAA Pilot Coaching Scheme is run by a small number of volunteers for the benefit of our members. The requirements to join the LAA Pilot Coaching Scheme as a LAA Coach are available to view in Coaching Scheme Leaflet 3.1 (CSL 3.1) which can be found on the LAA website under Pilot Coaching > Files...

For a pilot who has never instructed before, to obtain a Class Rating Instructor certificate at a commercial training organisation, the pilot must complete a Class Rating Instructor course which costs approximately £1,400 - £1,600. Then the applicant will need to complete a test (Assessment of Compe...

Phil,

Please can you contact me with details. All coaches hold a EASA CRI or FI certificate. However, there is no course which a LAA coach would have to do to maintain an instructor certificate costing anywhere near that much.

Kind regards,

Jon
