Hi Andy
I've not checked your logbook over at FSA so I don't know how many flights you've done in the DC10-30. The reason I mention this is that we have a rule (which may be unwritten.. I'll have to check that too) whereby pilots who gain a new rating are expected to do a further 8 revenue flights on the type
before requesting a new type. I don't know if the 'rules' are in need of a review
I'll allocate a TR for the Herald anyway

Ah, Oh I didn't know that, good too know

I'll focus a bit on the DC10 and Herald after I'm done with the TR for the Herald.

Hi Andy
I've just read through the training notes and can't find reference to it so it must have 'slipped through'. The actual figure decided on was 10 further revenue flights after gaining a rating and pilots were informed of this either before a TR was given or after a rating was gained. The reason it was implemented was that we had a spate of pilots gaining ratings and doing no revenue flights before requesting another TR.. some pilots of the day did this a LOT of times! Implementing this rule went some way to ensuring that pilots were 'serious' about wanting to fly a particular type rather than serious about wanting to get as many aircraft in their logbooks as possible

The four flight for the Handley Page Herald are completed without any problems. Now I'm going to focus on some HP7 and DC10 flights
