RE: BMFA Jet 'C' Test
Interesting. I wholly endorse this on a mandatory UK wide basis. However, are the BMFA going to make this mandatory to all individuals wishing to operate and fly RC jets, or will it just be a 'recommended' requirement at public/show gatherings?
Interesting to know how they plan to select and implement the examiners as well as standardisation of this.
The proposed criteria looks like a good plan. Part (o) will be interesting.
Having reflected upon this I feel that the 'C test' should be more based around ones knowledge and understanding of how to operate an RC jet in a safe manner and environment, rather than whether the pilot can perform certain aerobatic figures. This way it will flatten the gap between scale and aerobatic jets, enabling all pilots to obtain such qualification.
