Hi All,

having been accused of being anti American, I shall no doubt now be accused of being anti British. At the moment I just wish we had your system.

I have just uncovered another hurdle.

I have told you of the decision by our Chief Engineer that I must have a Flying Test done on my plane when it is repaired (Next week hah hah) Now I have discovered that my pilots licence may be invalid.

The system here is that a pilots licence is issued for life but it has to re validated annually. Talking to another pilot at the strip I fly from he queried my revalidation. He had been in a similar position. He flies a Shadow and the entire fleet was grounded after a fault was discovered in the undercarriage. Redesigning and approving and building new undercarts took over a year and this ran perilously close to some of the pilots revalidation dates.

This sent me to check on my dates.
My licence was revalidated in July 05. My accident happened in July 06 and having nothing to fly I forgot the annual . Now we are at July 07 and I shall probably have to take at the very least a GFT, In the worst case I shall have to do the entire Licence again. Give me strength.

Ellis Island here I come. Where do I sign up for citizenship classes?

Cheers

Pat

Pat, Just go to Juarez, take a right turn, and follow the crowd going across the Rio Grande. It's much easier than dealing with any government. 12 million migrants can't be wrong.
Not to add to your dismay, but we have the same sort of silliness here.
It's called the BFR. I won't tell you my version of the acronym, but the "F" doesn't stand for flight. But then, it might not in BFR either, since no flying may be involved in a "flight review". You can go sit in a classroom for a few hours every month and listen to an FAA official tell you how to fly safely, never do a single minute of time in the air, and voila, you've had a flight review.
Should you actually go out and do some actual flying with an actual FAA licensed instructor, two of them, even, and well, that might not be good enough.
Case in point, I earned my WSC endorsement while at Sun n Fun. Did the PTS manuevers, which I didn't do to get my PPL, did almost 8 hours of ground instruction and 6 hours of flying but, the Friendlies say it can't be used as a "flight" review.
The reasoning is that since I was adding a new type and class, it doesn't count. I need to review my old type and class for it to count as a BFR. Never mind all the instruction or the flying, this is about putting a check mark in the box on a form designed and administered by someone who may not be able to recognize an aircraft without a picture book.
Like the tee shirt says, "Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe, stupidity is a close second." End of rant and here's hoping my next isn't from Guantanamo.

Pat,
You needn't trouble yourself with Ellis Island. You WALK across the
Mexican/American border into the United States. That's all there is to it!
Of course, once you get here you can have Social Security benefits,
emergency room health care, and of course, special education benefits. (You
have to lay on the heavy British accent for Engish as a second language
funds.)

You might have to hang out at the local Home Depot for some "day labour"
(notice the spelling)
to REALLY orient yourself to the complete spectrum of benefits, but I doubt
that would take too long.

See ya soon, neighbour, Mike

Nobody comes in thru Ellis Island any more. They just sneak in thru Mexico and we make them citizens.

It is much easier now and if you go to the right state they will give you a drivers license and with that you can fly LSA.
