  1. all that we have is analogue

     

    Mohd, absolutely nothing wrong with that! Using analogue instruments when IMC is the only way to learn how to fly on instruments. How many in the Diamond with the glass cockpit can enter and fly a hold using an RMI/RBI and a stopwatch.... not many I'll bet.

     

    I trained for my PPL in a PA28 and moved onto an Aztech (PA27) a very stable aircraft, a bit ponderous but I managed over a 1000 hours in one. I then moved onto the Navajo (PA31-350) and flew for a small outfit back in the UK.

     

    Good luck with your career.


  2. Mohmd do you mind if I ask what your total multi experience, and in what, will be when you hope to jump straight into the RH seat of a commercial airliner carrying 150 pax.

     

    No disrespect but whatever happened to the PPL, CPL, and then conversion routes? The more I fly as a pax these days and see what looks like wet behind the ears flight crew I worry. And please don't go for the Airbus. I want a pilot not a computer manager who has no idea of how to fly using raw data when it all goes pear shaped. There are far too many 'follow the magenta line' brigade these days.

     

    As you may have noticed I learned by the self improvement way :p
