At work a couple of days ago, I heard a local radio report about a crew being caught under the influence of alcohol just before an international flight. I work in a noisy atmosphere so I didn't manage to get all of it but I believe that it wasn't just a spot check and that they were ...
IMC Rating valid in Isle of Man / Channel Islands?	27 Nov 2003 17:22 GMT	42
The latest issue of GASIL says "in theory" it is not valid. This is a strange choice of words for what I believe is a CAA-run or CAA-sponsored publication! It either is valid, or isn't. Peter.

I have been told (by an instructor) that a UK IMC Renewal is no longer acceptable as meeting the requirements for a PPL 2 yearly revalidation. Can some one point me to the relevant documentation? Apparently it all happened about September!

Anyone have any idea what this is? Is it a ground based trainer(simulator) for the Phillips Master? Is the Phillips Master Trainer a training aircraft in it's own right? I suspect the Phillips Master may have been the design that became the

Shouldn't Concorde be in the "public domain"	20 Nov 2003 14:29 GMT	43
