Hi Laura, It was some time ago but the entry to the left was done with closed throttle and then just as the stall was breaking I gave it a little juice to encourage it along. Once the spin was established I closed the throttle. I believe that the spin went flat because the CG was towards the aft of ...

Had a spin turn flat on me once in a decathalon. I pushed hard forward and it took three turns for the nose to drop. Frightened the you know what out of me.

Bob sorry but the bad news is that avgas appears to have been on a lower excise rate all along and is now being brought into line with regular petrol. from the financial resolutions. with effect as on and from 15 October 2008 Light Oil: Leaded petrol \553.04 per 1,000 litres Unleaded petrol \508.79 ...

Just a heads up.

looking through the small print in the budget it would appear that excise on avgas has been increased by 27 cents per liter.

The name needs to be changed. Having leisure in the title will allow aviation's enemys' which sometimes include regulators, to both lobby against and curtail its Privileges. Example: If there were such a thing as a Leisure Driving licence then it would be easy for someone to argue that these drivers...

Hi Hibby, time does not permit me to quote the regs in detail but the relevant ones are from the federal Aviation Regulations Part 61 61.41 Flight training recieved from flight instructors not certificated by the FAA & 61.103 (Private Pilots) Eligibility requirments: + 61.109 Aeronautical experi...

Hibby, here is a suggestion that you may not have thought of. The FAA will allow all your previous experience for an FAA PPL. I would suggest that you could probably complete an FAA PPL in less than the 35 hours you outlined earlier. Then if you so wish to have a JAA PPL you can go to the UK and as ...

GZ, where is the evidence to suggest that all those thousands of FAA Class 3 medicals flying around the world are having an unreasonable number of medically related accidents? The UK have gone down this route with the medical requirements for the NPPL. The JAA medical standards are Gold Plated for n...

N714GZ This has been done to death. The definitive answer is that an FAA ticket is Valid here in Ireland Day VFR only on any aircraft other than an N-reg. On an N-Reg aircraft in addition to Day VFR any additional ratings, night IFR etc are also valid in Ireland. The IAA have decreed that (in Lionel...

Ronnie, both plus some other sources. It is good stuff, got me through my exams. Notes are very handy to look back over. I think I have found the statutory duty that Galway would be under. SI 856 of 2004 being the most recent incarnation. here is the relevant bit Provision of Air Traffic Services 3....

I can only suggest that if ICAO thought that it was necessary, that they should be mentioned, then they would have included it in their specifications. In any case ICAO do not require it and the Irish Legislation does not require it. ------------------------------------------------------------------...

This has been done to death. here is as clear as I can make it. The FAA licence is Automatically validated for Day VFR Private flying on aircraft of any register flying in Irish airspace. Lets examine where it would be an issue if this were not the case. In the event of an accident in which a duly l...
