type rating

[spot]

Hi guys,

Just noticed that it says first training flight has to be completed within first month of applying....well

Have tried to send a couple of messages over at fsairlines requesting a training type rating for the 748. However I havn't had a reply or the TR. I assume I've been doing something wrong, or that powers above have been busy, but as it's been about a month , thought I'd comment here.

Hello Mate..

The FSA PM setup is fragile at best and I can't recall having seen a TR for the 748 otherwise I'd have given it. I've not been active much of late (RW intervention) but I'll nip over and see what can be sorted

EDIT..
Brian.. definitely no PM received for the 748 but I've allocated a training rating for you.

You're welcome Brian

Just to try and avoid any non-delivery problems over at FSA.. feel free to post for TR's here in future (or PM either me, JohnP or Fraser direct here)

Thanks for that again Dave.Ihave already done my 6 TR flights.
When can I start my revenue flights,and can I just trasnfer to Cardiff for my base.
Im sorry but I messaged John by FSA about this before I read your last post.

No Problem Brian

There are now 3 of us here who have the authority to issue TR's.. JohnP, me and Viscount Cornbank (Fraser) so feel free to ask either I'm still finding the PM system fragile over there so if you've tried to get all 3 of us over there and have received no reply.. chances are the PM has failed (although you won't be notified). Best plan is to use here.. either in the open forum or via PM which will guarantee your request gets sorted asap

I'll nip over now and allocate a full rating for you

EDIT.. Brian, further to my last.. should you want the Andover/780 too, give us a shout and you'll get this automatically. I used to give the 780 straight away but thinking about it, it gives you one more type to stay current with and you may not want to fly it anyway For us here, the 780 is a very welcome break for one main reason.. the vast majority of it's routes cover a large percentage of RAF stations in the UK (and a few in Europe) and we'd never get to fly to these under normal 'civvie' ops
