Default RE: BMFA Jet 'C' Test

Nothing beyond most good jet pilots there but one point worth taking in to account is the flight time. With 8 (including the inside loop) manouvers plus circuits,plus fig 8,plus low fly bys, plus everything down low pass you are going to be pushed to get all that in in about 8 minutes which is the safe fly time for most sports jets like the U Flash or Bandit. My CARF Hawk would be fine as 12 minutes is safe.You will also need to be well practiced so all your manouvers flow from one to the other and our jets do eat up a lot of sky and take time to get into postion for each manouver.You cant just chuck them around the sky like a Extra 300.You dont want to be hurried through this test as that could be dangerous and end up in tears. Just a point worth noting.
