I suggest they use their DC-9’s.

DME,
You can do your ME rating whilst you do your Instrument rating training, (I did my ME rating test at the end my 170A flight (pre IR test), most of the content of the ME rating test is covered in the 170A anyway so all you have to do is the visual stalls and a flapless circiut, all the asymetric stuff will have been covered already in the test.) Doing it that way only added about 10 mins flying time onto the course and negated the need for a separate flight test. Hope that makes sense….

I notice you are from Glasgow, (I can highly recommend the CPL/IR training at Perth!)

Best Regards

Thanks for the tip. I’ve tried to email Perth, but I’ve had no reply. I might take a trip up there on day – I’ve never been there.

Cheers

Well, to be fair thats what airbus say.
AA have other ideas, in saying it was a design fault in that the pilots can fully deflect the rudder with minimal pedal movement, thus leading to over stressing much easier.
Airbus counter blame AA with bad training.

Yadda yadda, the feud between them continues, but is at a stalement.

There is always to sides to a story 🙂

In theory I could deflect the rudder on my Tomahawk from full stop to the other and snap the tail off. I don’t think that would be Piper’s fault, it would be mine, or my trainers for failing to teach me the correct method.

Right, if you have a multi-engine CPL you have a multi-engine rating which is always valid, however you have to get a multi-engine IR as well, otherwise you can only fly IFR in a single and no airline will be interested in that! Best to just CPL in a single and then IR in a multi, but all multi hours are important!

Excellent Martin;

Thanks for clearing that up 😀

Imho opnion they should ground all A300/310 worldwide as long as the reason is not known. Wasn´t there an AA flight with an A300 that crashed because of the same reasons ?

The AA A300 crashed but it was proven the rudder was stressed beyond it’s flight envelope by repeated full stop movements.

Thanks.

I assume I will only have to do the ME/CPL combined as there is no point doing the ME and then doing it again with the CPL.

I never flew a Trident, but I saw many of them coming and going from Glasgow on the Heathrow runs.

You could normally hear them before you saw them, the ground shuddering as they thundered into the air. People who were lucky enough to watch and hear Concorde take off in recent years will know it’s a similar experience.

I used to live a mile or so from GLA and one morning I opened my curtains to see a Trident 3 flying past at something like 200 feet, doing a wide banking turn just after take off, to get back to runway 23 for a prompt landing. I could see the passengers looking out of the cabin windows. I never did find out why the flight was aborted so soon after takeoff ?

Another memory is watching (emotionally) the last GLA Trident departure to Heathrow whilst awaiting the arrival of the first 757 on the shuttle service. Of course both types operated together whilst the 757 gradually replaced the Trident, but it was a symbolic moment and the last day that the Trident reigned supreme in BA’s shuttle fleet.

Ren, was the Trident over the Motorway or going around to the south of your building?

It would have been ace to see 😮
