VFR flight in a Citation V jet - cockpit view with live ATC!

Post by nigelb »

Much better than flying with dead ATC. :hide: I thought this was interestiing, it is a short flight from Chester County, Pa to Danbury, Conn. The pilot flies solo and has to have a single pilot exemption from the FAA that requires simulator training every 12 months. That maybe remarkable until you consider the young mlitary pilots who fly high perfomance jets solo. If you detect an accent (other than the usual Colonial one) it is because I think the pilot is German. :shhh: Don't mention the war.

When I started , in the late 1960s, in the UK single pilot operation was permitted in any aircraft with a gross weight of less than 12500 lbs. The great advantage for us was that we could cadge P2 time in a wide variety of a/c without actually having them on our licence , since we did not form part of the legally required crew. All of this changed in the 1980s or so, and things were nothing like as much fun after that !
