Phil Perry Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Jeeeze,. . .you paid for an Insturment rating in the UK. . .! ! ! ouch,. . . .I bet that 'urt,. . . oh, no,. you mentioned IMC,. . .ok, that's a nota so bada. . .wot is it now 15 hours ?. . . I could never understand why, if you had an IMC rating,. . .that you had to do a separate NIGHT rating too,. . .I wonder if it was just to see that you hadn't cheated on the ishihara plate test at the aviomed exam, and that you could see the pretty red lights on the runway approach just before you hit the hedge. . . . .Personally, I'm scared about flying IMC with only one donkey, same with night,. . . . . I can't do a half reasonable forced landing at noon, so a night one would be quite interesting; what was it the old RAF bloke used to say ? . . .oh yes,. . .Engine fail at night,. . . 1) Point the flight appliance at the ground and turn on your landing light. . . . 2) if you don't like what you see,. . . . . turn it off. . . Oh well. . . . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well. . . . Yes 15hrs if I remember and it was only valid in the UK,basically it was to get you out of trouble which it did often :)...well you know englands weather. As for the night rating they told us always head towards the dark patch,never understood why i'd have gone for the lights on a road. Separate ratings....more money for the school I s'pose..

Phil Perry Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 The sport thing is a big problem for me, I get it in the neck Bi-Directionally as I'm a naturalised Australian Citizen . . . whilst retaining Brit nationality as well. . . . So I just can't win mate. I did not, in fact dump my BritCit status, at the time, but had I known that this was indeed possible,. . .I bloody well would have,. . .that way, when the missus dragged me back here to the UK kickin' an screamin' when her Dad was seriously ill,. . . I'd have been chucked out by Brit immigration after three months,. . .and could annoy the crap out of all my forum friends from a more pleasant geographic locality . . . .could even have had my lights punched out physically for my textual transgressions, rather than metaphorically as is now the case. . . Would probably have still been skint, but being skint in a nice place, isn't as bad as. . . . . . . . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polardroid Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 My only "sporting" interest is F1 but about once every 5 years I watch some big golf tournament on the telly. I don't even know the rules of rugby.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Perry Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Well, if you want to watch something interesting for you eddificashun Sir,. . .try Aussie Rules Footy. . . . 18 blokes per side, not played on a rugby pitch, but a "Footy Oval" no referees, but "Umpires" very "Crickety" in terms innit ?. . . no apparent rules, ( That I could see anyhow ) and none of that poncy body armour used by the Septics in their, er, sort of "Football" game . . . these blokes run up each other's backs to "Take the Mark" ( Grab the ball ) then spit out a few teeth and get back in there, non of this namby pamby soccer rubbish, where the game is stopped when somebody gets a split lip. . . . It's a sort of cross between rugby and armageddon. . . . . MAN'S game mate. . . . get yerself some beer in, then try to get a VFL Grand Final game on one of yer telly channels. . ..it's an education and no mistake ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
