Objections, reactions, comments, amendments below please, I guess for those of us renting club aircraft as myself we need to know pretty soon so we can get them booked
… there were to be a fly-in organised, for regular contributors to this board, how many would actually be able to fly-in on their own licence? A show of hands perhaps?

astraeus I am trying to help you, but your not helping me with the 2 word responses, if you don’t know whether it is registered or not then I can bet 100% it is not because for the registered version you have to pay
Counter Strike is the win to be honest, I have not stopped playing it for 5 years now

BUT is it a registered copy?
Some points are right, some not. Envelope protection would go without FBW, too.
This is true but the Envelope protection system was designed around the FBW system in the Airbus, I do not know of any hydraulic powered flight controlled aircraft in service today which has the Flight Envelope protection system as comprehensive as the Airbus unless someone can enlighten me (which, if a little misleading, was my point)
The single biggest advantage of a fly-by-wire system over conventional hydraulic systems is weight, the savings are pretty high, you are right in that “seat of the pants” flying has been lost but I guess it’s progress, there was alot of debate between flight crews about this but as with everything a few years down the line and nobody bats an eyelid, also another saving (evident in the Airbus) is that they could get rid of the control yoke and replace with a more convenient side-stick although Boeing opted to keep the control yoke I think after discussions with potential customers, it’s all a case of good erganomics. Another thing on the Airbus in particular is the flight envelope protection system which stops the pilot trying to fly the plane outside pre-set flight envelopes, for example, the Airbus cannot exceed (or even reach if I’m not mistaken) critical alpha.

Laker where do you live? if it’s the USA then obviously an FAA PPL will be your option, as for age I “think” they run a similar system to over here where you cannot be issued a PPL until your 17th birthday? but you can do the training before hand but cannot go solo until your 16th birthday, don’t forget your Class III FAA medical, this will be about $75, as for price well I would say you are looking at about US$6000, you should add at LEAST 20% to this price for extras like headsets, books, exams etc, also remember you will be lucky to pass everything within the minimum hours, some do it, some do not, the FAA PPL includes the night qualification in the training also.

Remember also even with a bigger cessna 172/182 or a Piper Warrior you will not get 5 people aboard, you will also not get 4 people aboard unless they are light-medium built adults and even then you will not be carrying full fuel.
