Re: Cheap IR(H)

Hey,

I dont think a SE IR on an R44 would help you get a N. Sea job at the min as a lot of pilots with ME IR's cant even get an interview. A friend of mine did get a N. Sea job with a SE IR he completed at Bristow on the only approved B206 in the UK, but that was nearly 10 years ago...

Re: RT work

Joe,

I recommend the "Airspeak" audio CD's (available from most pilot supply stores) along with CAP 413 for RT exam preparation.

Good luck,

Hi, Yes, if the owner is willing, you can log the time. It doesn't even need to be the aircraft owner, you could do some flying with a corporate pilot (non commercial flights) in a B206 or R44 and log some time if they agree to let you. Up until last year there was quite a demand for R44 pilots espe...

Hey there, Welcome to the FII heli forum! The problem you have is what hours you legally can log. Under the Irish and UK rules (both countries are JAR compliant) you can only log dual if it is training with an instructor, or you are P2 on a multi crew helicopter. Your ratings are all on single pilot...

Hi Mark, Just to add to your post, another difference I noticed with the Irish system when I worked there is that a Student Licence is required prior to solo, in which your instructor authorises you for solo circuits, or solo cross country, and signs off each flight as you progress towards your qual...

Hey Joe, Air Law is usually the first one of your exams the school asks you to complete, and is a requirement for most schools before solo (along with a medical) as you rightly state. When you pass it, you will have 18 months from that date to complete the rest of them, then once you have all of the...

different UK police forces have different ideas as to how the Terrorism Act notification requirements are to be satisfied (including in some cases the false idea that their permission is required) Yes, there are a few that give this impression. Schengen certainly is an interesing concept, I wasn't ...

Jar Jar, I think you will find that the rules here are relitively relaxed in comparison to France.. Over there in order to land (off airfield) at private sites (by helicopter) such as hotels, race courses, and even your own house, the pilot has to apply for a "Heli Surface Permit" from the...

Sorry for the thread hijack, but seeing as J3 started the argument in public I think I have the right of reply, or is free speach not welcome here?

) Bearcat asked "are they still at the prevention of terrorism form to be submitted days before or can i just head off" and we all know the answer from our Air Law books. But in reality - No - GAR forms are not sought by this particular airport from any landing I've ever made. I do the tri...
