That is some seriously good photography, how on earth did he zoom in so far, he must have a 1,000mm lense for goodness sake lol 🙂

Excellent news, I love their Dash8-Q400’s, I have a flight on friday from BRS, gotta take my mate and his wife up so I will try and get some snaps if Im delayed on the ground long enough (delayed 27 minutes last week for T/O clearance) :rolleyes: 😀

Any idea what equipment they’ll be using?

Doesn’t an initial medical also include an ECG?

hehe

And come to think of it Moggy now you said I do vaguely recall being wired up to an ECG monitor, cos it bloody hurt when he ripped off the pads 😀 LOL

Very nice models there Ren

I bought the Virgin 747-400 Lady Penelope from Ebay and it cost me about £40, it is rare, I think the harder one to come by is Tubular Belle,
I just bought the Virgin 747-400 and A340-600 metal the other day for £30 each inc p&p, beautiful they are too 😀
I so need to add to my collection but every £100 I spend on Geminis is 1 hours less flying time :/ got to be sensible I suppose 😡

Just concentrate on your education for now mate, that is very important, becoming a pilot is a long hard road and you would be wise to have something to fall back on incase it all goes the wrong way for you, if you are planning on trying to get a sponsorship then make sure you check the airline selection criteria because I know when I applied to Britannia 2 years ago they specified no more than 30 hrs flying time so obtaining a PPL would be no good for you.
To get your fATPL you need a PPL, IMC (you dont really need an IMCR), NightR, MER, IR, CPL, and of course your 14 ATPL ground exams, to be considered for a job it is common to have to have MCC and JOT on your licence too, and the way the industry is going i can see you will need a TR with line experience within a couple of years, at least thats what I gleaned from the owner of Astraeus.

Dean. 🙂

p.s. you need to “unfreeze” your fATPL within 7 years of issue, if not your ATPL ground exams will expire, to unfreeze your fATPL you need 1500 hrs, good luck 🙂

EAL_KING reconsider mate, these imbociles have won if we are all driven away

Younger members havent developed this kind of inhibited temperament, its in young people’s nature not to ignore flames etc.
How about every thread that starts an argument I report it to the moderator, I can tell you this he/she will soon become rather tired of having to deal with it and maybe he/she will THEN appoint a couple of moderators, I mean for goodness sake there are several threads running right now that should be locked/closed

Dean.

Thanks alot guys 😀
No shiny new fATPL in my birthday card though I guess I’ll still have to work for it like everyone else 😉
