    Apparently 40% of the male population will be doing all of it’s Christmas shopping today. I’m off to join in. 😀

    I’ve gone one better, I handed my bank card over to my sister and asked her to buy ‘my’ presents for all the family. You can’t really blame me, I don’t finish until 6.00 and then it’s off to sample some alcohol.

    Have a good one everybody 🙂

    And the worrying thing is some people fall for these scams.

    After reading that report I now always make sure I tell passenger to leave the Yoke / Pedals well alone!

    Fortunately I carried it out like all of you have said – keep good airspeed and no large control inputs (possibly no control inputs)

    I was wondering if the turbelence alone would over stress the airframe, not large control inputs. I’m aware that this would just place more stress on it.

    Moggy C I remember reading a AAIB report where a PA-28? lost control and everyone on board died. I think the front seat passenger pulled on the yoke when they were turning around to talk to a passenger in the rear, this placed the plane into a dive and a roll. The pilot instinctively tried to pull out of it and roll level, but one of the wings snapped downwards sending it into the ground.

    So are you saying that the preferred choice for a forced landing is a built-up area, rather than marshland?

    Moggy

    I’m beginning to question this NPPL or at least the training content.

    I hate giving advice in these situations in case it’s wrong.

    You can’t generalise on ‘how much can an airframe take’ every one, even within the same type, is different. And if I said to you “+4g -2g” it is still not a very helpful answer as you have no way of measuring the stresses anyway.

    But I do believe the thing that has to be avoided is rapid, full range control surface movements / reversals. Don’t slam the stick / yoke right over in a counter-controlling movement, particularly if you have any sort of speed on at all.

    It sounds really scary – but at least you’ve come through it.

    Moggy

    Yeah, it is hard to answer. All you can to is reduce speed and let it rock and roll and keep the fingers crossed 😉

    Thanks all,

    DME – yes I have been in a light aircraft once or twice.

    Good stuff. I take it you enjoyed it then 😀

    Excellent Andrew, go for it, you’ll love it.

    Have you ever been up in a light a/c?

    Hi i was wondering what the restrictions are on people who have gone solo but have not got thier liscence. I presume they cannot fly wherever they want and after looking at the CAA website and countless others i cannot find out what i can legally do. Any help would be nice. Thanks

    I know you can’t take a passenger up until you have had your licence sent out to you.

    After going solo you have to fly the same type of aircraft that you have been learning in.
