  1. This site is not just for recreational pilots, there are a number of airline, bizjet and raaf pilots on this forum. Just because its call recreational flying doesent mean its just rec flyers.

     

    Good way to show some of our defence force ranks within an Aussie forum.

  2. Still subject to the general competency rule. If you have never flown a particular aircraft before, and the first time you do you take it up solo and crash, you are going to struggle to justify that one. Also common sense should prevail, for example if you have only flown a c172, I would suggest jumping straight into a C210 would be borderline suicidal unless you got some training in it.

    Hence the reason I said do a check ride, legally you can but as you stated it would be suicidal, hence the reason for the famil lesson, most schools would not let you hire an aircraft without being checked out on the type first, may even be an exam.

    Also Warriors are low wing and you have to fly them to the ground unlike a 172 that will float down. I heard of someone that jumped out of a 172 into a warrior, pulled the power to idle and it dropped out of the sky and crashed on the flare.

     

     

  3. Just a cheaper option for ab intio, as you go further into your training you move up to higher performance aircraft.

     

    If you move onto another school with Cessna's and Pipers your just burning money for the same licence, you can easily fly Cessna's after a quick lesson on one of the aircraft after your rpl/ppl.

     

    As long as we are talking RPL/PPL and not RPC/PPL
