Something tells me you’re telling a porkie with regards to your supposed flying qualifications!

  1. ATPL is higher than a CPL, so saying you have a CPL is like a HGV 1 driver saying they have there B licence, it’s just stupid and pointless.

  2. You can’t have an ATPL on an Airbus and not on a Boeing for instance. Boeing and/or Airbus aircraft would come under type ratings, not licence categories.

  3. VFR is not a qualification, it’s a limit, IMC is a ‘rating’ or qualification. Saying you have VFR ‘ticket’ is like the situation in fig. 1.

  4. Why would you even consider flying to another destination when, surely, you’d know that you’d be subject to roughly £100 and hour for a Cesna 152 + landing fees + parking fees at another aerodrome + having to rent out another car just to get to the ADR school? If you were a real pilot you’d realise it’d be much cheaper to drive everyday.

Not that I’m nit picking, but I think I’ve raised some valid points :stuck_out_tongue:

Hi Kev, Whilst what you wrote might still be true, I’m not sure that Chemfreight still offer an ADR course at that location.

I’ve taught ADR for Chemfreight in the past, both at their homebase and on a ‘mobile’ basis, so a phone call to their HQ in Runcorn (01928-580505) would sort out whether they still offer ADR at Avonmouth.

As a general point, it tends to be companies, rather than private individuals, who book ADR courses with Chemfreight. I’m not knocking Chemfreight, their experience and knowledge are beyond reproach, but I’d guess that their course prices might be a factor in that statistic. :wink:

Hi Adam_Mc,
Peter’s answers might make for some interesting reading, because to a flying ‘outsider’ (me) you both seem to know something about the subject… :grimacing:

I try to stick to what I know best, but that’s just me. :wink:
