Re: For Europe: Any jobs left NOT requiring a Type Rating?
Hi Dhc6to8, I very much appreciate your input. My girlfriend (of 2 years) lives in Spain and it is difficult to maintain a LDR (Long Distance Relationship).

I am about to turn 57 Things in my favour: Canadian and FAA ATP/ 7000+ hours/3000+ hours multi PIC time (most of it on turbine equipment), some jet time. I have an E.U. passport. But I'll b...

Now I like it even more, seeing it flown by someone who really knows how to fly... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7192dg_zis It's all good but check it out from the 1:00 minute mark... quite impressive.

Re: The Light-Sport Advantage?
I agree that it's a "gimmick" but flying should at least still be fun (for those who can afford it mind you).

Re: What do you trust more, "the automation" or the pilot?
