    Who's got the biggest chopper?

    When the question of flying lessons as a business expense is being asked on CUK the doom can't be all that bad - or can it?

    So those of you who take a chopper to client sites - who's got the biggest?

    There used to be a dispensation for people taking an NVQ, in that the training wasn't subject to VAT...

    I have an NVQ in "Piloting Rotary Wing Transport Aircraft"...

      I hate it when you arrive at the clients site only to find all the parking spaces taken up with private helicopters.

              One client site I worked in had the front row of car park spaces near the door called "Contractor's Row" as they all used to get in early before the perms. A fine spectacle of BMWs, Lotus, TVRs etc
              If you think my attitude stinks, you should smell my fingers.

                  Depends which version of s/w it is running.

                  If it is the wrong version it can land itself - not th eright way up admittedly, but on terra firma.

                  HTH.

                    Anyone want to buy some 2nd hand FADEC code? One careful owner?
                    I certainly know that flying is "the art of throwing yourself at the ground and missing".
