Hi Phil :)

It all depends on how busy either John or I are when it happens. I take it all 6 are completed so I'll nip over now (just landed after a 7hr 36min flight and don't like to login to FSA while I'm flying.. you never know what cr@p might happen) ;-)

I did PM you at FSA (Thur) asking which aircraft you wanted next but have not received a reply. Wonder if the PM system over there still has bugs??

Hey Dave

I can confirm there still are some problems with the PM system at FSA -- altough I can get messages from FSA I cannot recieve msgs from members so you may want to do it here ;)

Hi Leif..

Yep.. I suspected as much. I get PM's from some pilots and ALWAYS seem to get the autogenerated 'An aircraft you sold e t c) but have wondered about it's robustness overall :roll:

Phil.. the One-Eleven it is ;-)

Hi, I posted a message on FSA but thought I'd better post one here aswell just in case it is not working properly. Could you set me up for training on the BAe 146. I've also completed training on 1-11, completed 4 flights, is that correct? Just out of interest, do you program in flight failures into the training flights, took of one flight and barely cleared the runway when both engines shut down :o , brown trouser moment! Cheers, Phil.

Hi Phil :)

Rgr on the 1-11 and 146. I'll get that sorted for you now ;-)

No.. we don't physically program failures into any of our flights though FSA has the capability to do so. As a rule, the closer an airframe gets to 96%, the more likely you are to get a failure but even then, you'd only get one fail not two. Just make sure it wasn't your fault.. eg, you ran out of fuel ;-)

EDIT..
1-11 given full TR.. 146 to training ;-) No msg's received at FSA so let's take it they still haven't got it sorted :roll:
