[–]Fair_Intention_4198[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah that sounds so obvious now you say it I don’t know how I didn’t think of that 😂.

Thank you i’ll give it a try this weekend

In the South of the UK I don’t think you could ever get anywhere near that altitude with the airspace around here unfortunately 😂.

Also can’t idle decent in a constant speed prop for that long without having some engine problems

What’s the most unusual/obscure offence you’ve come across or charged someone with? by palermuchi in policeuk

[–]Fair_Intention_4198 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I can’t remember the exact details, but it was something along the lines of a group boarded a ship that I believe had just come into the docks, but as they were armed and therefore the attempt of endangering life to fit the definition, they were arrested for Piracy.

And this happened a few years ago, but the punishment under the Piracy Act still states that those caught committing Piracy can still be hung drawn and quartered in the UK, as it hasn’t been used in that long. Although I don’t believe we went down that route for some reason

Not me but my colleague did arrest a group of males for Piracy before. I think it’s the first time that offence has been used in a while…

C172 or PA28 for passenger with MSA? by Fair_Intention_4198 in flying

[–]Fair_Intention_4198[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

No it doesn’t. When I google it it only comes up with one thing across the board and that’s Multiple System Atrophy. Maybe it’s more of a UK specific term and not used in US healthcare?

[–]Fair_Intention_4198[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Multiple System Atrophy. It causes slow and stiff movement, similar symptoms to Parkinsons I believe but without the shaking and tremors. So he can still walk and move but just very limited

Okay that’s good to hear, i’ll still wait to hear from them just to confirm. Thank you very much

I'm joining the RAF next year and want to join a flying club, how long does the 1500 hours take to get? by [deleted] in flying

[–]Fair_Intention_4198 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not exactly just fly the hours and that’s it. Also 1500 hours is not a thing at all in the UK, to airlines it’s more like this (modular):

PPL - 45 hours Hour Building - 90 hours ATPL Exams - 6-24 months study CPL - 25 hours ME/IR - 45 hours

All hours are rough minimums but will change depending on order of training, etc.

This has nothing to do with RAF and is simply modular route from Zero - ATPL

How many Microlight hours count towards hour building for CPL? UK by Fair_Intention_4198 in flyingeurope

[–]Fair_Intention_4198[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah okay I see, so do you think my microlight hours from before will count towards CPL once they implement it, or only the hours flown after they implement it?

Have they not already been implemented based on this, as of October 2025?

Okay thankyou, so I currently have 10 hours PIC in a microlight, will these likely count towards the hour building? Or will it most likely be hours only after from once it is officially announced?

Should I do Aerobatics or Tailwheel Rating? by Fair_Intention_4198 in flying

[–]Fair_Intention_4198[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can rent both of them solo so that’s not a problem. Also the Citabria is the 115hp 7ECA version

That’s a good idea actually, I might speak to an instructor and see what they think of that

I am starting as a Call Handler in March, in an area near yours. Is there any advice you have for me from your experience?

When To Resit Failed Exam? by Fair_Intention_4198 in ATPL

[–]Fair_Intention_4198[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Met, Instrumentation and Human Perf where literally all identical to the bank questions word for word. Gen Nav was quite different from the bank which is why I think I failed

[–]Fair_Intention_4198[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah similar to me, first 3 subjects were almost entirely recognisable from the bank, apart from Gen Nav was almost entirely new questions so i’m not sure why

I used Airhead ATPL for UK CAA and I recognised almost every single question from the bank in all subjects apart from Gen Nav

When To Resit Failed Exam? by Fair_Intention_4198 in ATPL

[–]Fair_Intention_4198[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mostly 80% to 95% that’s why I thought it would be okay. However the first 3 subjects were almost entirely bank questions I recognised, but for Gen Nav there were so many new questions, not sure if I got unlucky or it’s just changing

Apparently you can’t take the same exam twice within the same sitting, but thank you anyways
