I did my PPL a year and half ago with Skytrace - found them very good. Jeff, the CFI, is a hard man to please and rightly so - I realised that after bricking it for my flight test only to be asked by the examiner who my instructor was because I was so well prepared. PPL students, back then anyway, w...

I think the issue you're referring to is that under FAA rules, if you're acting as safety pilot for someone flying under the hood (i.e. simulated IMC) both pilots can log the time as P1. Under JAR rules, this is not the case and only one pilot can log P1. Schemes for multi-engine flying as offered b...

The intervention from the EU is just the latest major problem to confront Transport Minister Martin Cullen. His office is responsible for informing the Commission of any aviation developments. You see, there's the problem. The Dept has successfully held up anything that even resembles an "aviation ...
