Hi Paul..

Don't you go bending ZO.. she's my fave T3 :lol: I notice you have a couple of overspeeds but these will only effect your rating not the VA so yes.. you have a full rating now and the T2 is open for you. ;)

Have fun in the old girl. We have Cyprus T2's available as well as some over in China. Plenty there to keep your interest for many a month ;)

Thanks.

The overspeeds were due to my getting to grips with my own mindset and procedures with the autopilot which I think I've sorted. Hopefully I've cracked that one!

Thanks very much.

Hi Dave

I have now flown my initial six training flights, in a BAC 1-11, are the results good enough to pass

Not perfect every time, a few landing light faults, careless rather than anything else.

Need to fly other routes with this a/c, then hopefully some trident training

Cheers

Mike :)

Hi Mike..

Rgr that.. I'll pop over and allocate a full rating now ;)

Don't forget.. 10 fare paying flights on this one before requesting a new rating :thumbsup: You can of course do many more than 10 ;)
EDIT: Done.. you now have the 200 and 400srs available too. Calm aires ;)

Hello there,

Could I ask for a Training Rating for the HS748? Have I read somewhere that a qualification on the 748 also brings a full rating on the Andover?

Thanks,

Paul

Hello Paul..

Indeed it does should you so want it. When I was CEO 'in the chair', I offered the 780 'if wanted' as some pilots didn't, I felt. It means one more TR to keep up to date :) Let me go over and see how your other ratings are (no other training in progress) and I'll unleash the 748 for you. ;)

EDIT: Training Rating added for the 748 Paul ;)

Great, thanks Dave!

Now, manual, checklist, charts, calculator, woolly jumper for flights up to Kirkwall...

Just about ready to go!

:lol: :lol:

There are plenty of 748 flights Paul.. DavidK has flown most of not all of them :) Once you've done the TR and the 780 is open, a whole new world we don't normally visit (RAF airfields) will also be at your disposal ;)
Enjoy :thumbsup:
