Thanks for the suggestions. I knew about Ajay (UKFT) already, but didn’t want to have to go down there. It turns out that there is a U.K. QFI in the Bay Area; Mike Shifflett at Nice Air, based at Reid Hillview. So, I hired a plane and flew down from San Carlos yesterday, avoiding the worst or the Bay Area rush hour traffic, and making sure of my night currency on arriving back at SQL. Now I’m OK for another 13 months a. — Suite 2380, Seattle, WA 98101, U.S.A.        | FAX: +1 (209) 447 8181 http://www.dcs.ed.ac.uk/home/ajcd/             | U.K. PPL(A) IMC Night http://www.tardis.ed.ac.uk/~ajcd/       | Still learning, upside-down

How do you become a UK certified instructor. Denny

I’m not really sure, but I think most of it has to do with learning a different language. For example, replace "traffic pattern" with "circuit," "touch & go’s" with "circuits ‘n bumps," "snap roll" with "flick roll," and "aerobatics" with "aeros" and you might be most of the way there Oh, and is "fuel truck" something like "fuel bowser"?
