Hi All, out of interest how many of you use the LAA/PCS for your Bi-Annual ? Or don't you know that you can use the PCS for this service £35 for the 1hr revalidation flight in your aircraft.
Many Thanks Will.
Many Thanks Will.

Hi Frank, those coaches that are registered with the LAA/PCS, have a CAA exemtion and therefore can charge a small fee set by the LAA for the BFR. As well as Bi-annauls we offer a whole host of services and ratings, these can be found under Training in the main LAA web site, from tailwheel to VP prop conversions.
The coaches range from ATPL to experienced PPL, all have CRI ratings or more, hope this answers your questions.
Regards Will.

Will. If I may take you up on the offer above....
...I haven't flown a taildragger for over 15 years and last flew a light aircraft in about 2000. I have allllllllmost finished an LAA rebuild and need to get to grips with light aircraft, and taildraggers specifically, before I take the plunge and commit aviation in my own toy. Question is (are); Can a PCS chap sign off a revalidation on a long-expired PPL or add it as a 'type' to an ATPL (ie single engined - land) with the grandfather rights of the old PPL......and....does anyone fancy teaching me to 'use my feet again during the landing roll' at an airfield of your choice somewhere not too far from west Cardiff? Something taildragger with handling somewhere like as bad as a FRED would be ideal.
Cheers

Hi Guys, have responded to Rob's question about re-newing his rating and the Fred he has rebuilt, hopefully it will be in there air soon and then we can get him in her after some training and a good briefing. Incidentally my first PFA type, as it was then, was a Taylor-Monoplane when i was 17yrs old so converting pilots to single seat LAA types is not quite a black art !

Parkair. I'd never intentionally upset or offend my beloved FRED (they are very sensitive, y'know!)
The last aeroplane I flew with one engine was a C150, about 15 years ago, and have flown only 757 and 767 since then. By comparison to these, a FRED isn't going to feel like "Man and Machine in perfect harmony" so I need something that is very tail happy to teach me how to deal with the worst-case scenario, especially since I've not received any replies from HQ about my request for approval to fit the fixed-fin modification that is alleged to help stability. I've bought another FRED for a couple of hundred quid to provide enough wood to make the fixed-fin and to provide material for the first few ground loops!
I need some encouragement to "get on with it" and finally fly something interesting again.
PS FRED made it into the Morris Minor Owners' Club magazine a few months ago!
