Investigators Say Student Pilots Should Be Flagged
Hi,
In article , Peter wrote: My presumption, from reading their recommendation, was that the call sign prefix (or suffix) would end with passing the checkride. In short, we agree. If that is their recommendation, then yes, we agree that would be an odd 'forced' cut-off. It'd be interesting to see if the CAA were to come after a qualified PPL that used the Tyro (or whatever) prefix to indicate inexperience... Andy |

Investigators Say Student Pilots Should Be Flagged

I trained at a Class D under Class B and I never used (nor felt the need to use) the "S" word during my lessons or solo flights. I work in sports TV and I'm certain that gave me a big leg up on dealing with comms. When I'm at work, I wear a headset, I listen to multiple faceless voices while scanning multiple screens, all the while having to remain focused on specific tasks yet keep the big picture in mind. Sure sounds like flying to me. Many years ago when I was a student pilot I was probably in the safest period of my flying life. I was on a familiar field and under the supervision of at least 2 instructors. And a tower that could handle a pilot who could and once did say 'Negative" as they tried to clear me to land crosswind. The term IS 'pilot in command' On the various crosscountries I did toward my PPL I'd been briefed upon the different airfields that I would be landing at and had to do a weather check before the next leg... And after gaining my PPL apart from checkrides and type ratings I was more or less left to my own resources |
