The medical is on the 26th March, I also have my written test o that day. Im not sure how it will all go. (At least I dont have to pay for the medical)

I have sent an aplication to the board of the FAA to re-consider my medical, I understand in many cases that they do so, so I will know if they are going to give me a SPECIAL CPL medical claerance within the next few weeks.

The problem is you don’t know what a joke is, and im aware a few members here are from the CAA, but they can take a joke.

(Think about that)

A political correct country, yes I could agree with that then again I find it more of a dictatership than for ones freedom of will and motives. Microlights don’t need to be regulated, take a look at the yanks, they are doing just fine.

Oh for I agree training needs to be provided but what we need to do is make the sport easier for people to get into.

Then again what do I know the CAA knows everything.

I would consider becoming a glider instructor and yes I must say that the transfer to basic gliding licence is only a week course from NPPL. Tell me what do you need to become an instructor, do you need a Hhigher medical than the DVLA standards what your doctor signs you off for? (class 1/2?,I hope not)

What kind of jobs can one do in the R.A.F on the ground that is with more or less one eye?

Changing the subject slightly, I am writing to ask if any of you know of a single engine jet aircraft with A EMPTY weight of less than 2000kg. I ask for the reason the NPPL allows no more than 2000kg aircraft to be flown. (Singles)

Please provide the names and any links of these aircraft. (If any!)

Oh yes moggy and how much do you charge for your great English lessons? (Include it with my original question, I know it’s hard for you not to go off the point, must be all those years. No really my freind fire away)

Well A.fan let’s just forget it, what did you say again? No really on a serious side, it was very hard to take and the fact I can still fly on the NPPL solo for pleasure and gain my licence in that is nice to know, I can still call myself captain.

I am making an appeal to the FAA to consider my case as my FAA doctor done the same and they made a special case for him as he was just out of class 2 FAA medical standards. (I never think he actually finsihed his CPL)

I didnt actually want to use bad wording, but I was very upset, im considering the R.A.F, or just getting a glider towing job, pay based on ground work so we will see. Maybe the FAA will pass me. (That will be the day)

When you step into an aircraft you should always know the facts about the chances of these evnets, helicopters are much more unstable and accident rates are much higher.

Many helciopter pilots have died due to the fact of human error and you will find the Robinson helciopter to be very reliable, the R22 was not created for training but was meant as a economical helicopter for the use of experianced pilots.

Many helicopter pilots are using the R22 as it is the cheapest but not the kindest machine. The avrg R22 pilot takes 55hrs and the avrg h300 pilot around 50, for the cost of using it is more expensive.

PRICE dictates what you fly, unless you have the money that is.

Remember that Moggy for next time you see a write off, THEY KNOW THE RISKS.

Sorry Dan for I might have to agree with the others on this one which i rarely do,heeeeeeeee.

But what I do admire you for is that you are trying something which is unusual, for you have a dream and you are trying to live it. Try telling that to the FAA medical examiners, but that’s a totally different subject im keen to get over.

Good luck, but don’t get to excited, things never work out how you want them to, for I should know.

Keep me updated and I think that one to say that your wasting the PFA’S time is a little over the top. Take Mr.Robinson of the Robinson helicopter company when he first statrted, for he did not have to deal with them as being in the U.S but thier equivalent was in order.

Yes i see what you mean Moggy maybe I have not said all that needs to be said, I would not be able to act as P.I.C and that the student would have to hold his or her PPL. The instructing could maybe just be for multi conversion or night ratings/IFR.

For evidence of this you can contact the FAA as I did, sorry to come across so brief.

Well I thank you both for your imputs and it does help, Im allowed to go to the FAA and make an appeal for something called a special medical allowance, if they were to grant me it I would have something called a special medical. I think the chances of this are quite slim.

Im still flying solo and I can still get my NPPL and as long as I can fly alone im happy, it my be a bit restrictive but it is better than nothing.

I can still become a FAA flight instructor but without a medical I cant be P.I.C. But with my NPPL I can use that for my hour building and so on. What do you think to this route?

Regards
