Hi dhardiman, You are quite correct in what you state. We at Ultraflight reviewed it a couple of years ago & felt it was necessary to have PPA cover for all pilots, including those renting aircraft.

A shocking quote.

If an officer made a comment as such wholst acting as agent for a reputable company, there would be a complaint & subsequent investigation. Any chance this happening?

They are trying to source two flying caps as worn by Tiger Moth pilots , ie the leather skull cap type things, for about two weeks, late November & start December. Was wondering if anyone had a...
