Christmas flying quiz

Post by brian day »

Looking for moon thermals.

Ok, lets test our flight rules....

How many rules is the pilot breaking?

A bit of background;
The picture was taken of the Observatory at the Pic Du Midi on the Tourmalet in the French Pyrenees.
It was taken from the summit ski station where 1000s of camper vans and tents were parked.
The Tour De France cycle race went through the following morning.

Answer next week.

Hope you all have an excellent Christmas, I doubt I'll see anyone out flying! :D

The one that stands out which I know you all have notice, is he is not on a. Ozone Wing. Putting that to one side, I wish you and your wife, Brian Health and Happens and all that there is to come. And any one else who who'd like my wishes. "From, Mol"and Me". (d) (d)

Not night rated
Flying in the dark
Flying too close to a building or obsticle
Flying over a large gathering of people without sufficient height
Being a clown
Pretty good start! :)

Au contraire Rodney, au contraire. I have flown in France a few times. There is no air law everyone just does as they want. No law, no contravention. This bloke will probably land and be given a medal!
