So bitches, how is the Ukraine War going. Has Bakhmut fallen yet? Nearly there bitches after 7 long months and more than 60,000 KIA.

But I wouldn't celebrate if I were you as all indications are that the dawn of the Spring Offensive nears.

Even Chy-na tried calling Zalensky to try and broker a ceasefire because the Ruzzians are shitting themselves. The answer from Zalensky is that he might consider one when Ukraine's forces are on Crimea's borders. I think he said only after the restoration of Ukrain'es 2014 borders which even includes liberation of Crimea. 8)

there you have it bitches! Ukraine isn't going to stop.

So fuck the Chy-nese and Ruzzians. No ceasefire bitches. Ukraine is the master and Ruzzia is her bitch now.

So fuck Chy-na and Ruzzia to kingdom come bitches. And if Chy-na wants to come out and play, then the Merikans are willing to boogey and Merika is already preparing to take down Chy-na like it is taking down Ruzzia bitches.

Even the Wagner and Gazprom PMC Dr Evil nutsacks are plotting the next Ruzzian Civil War to take control from Pootin bitches. Welcome to hell Ruzzia. :lol:

Ukrainian military is already shaping the battlefield bitches as they have landed sone small military units south of the Dnipr River bitches.

Quick, send the reinforcements bitches! :lol:

It’s going to be so funny and entertaining to see Ruzzia fall apart even more bitches. It’s literally so wonderful seeing Ruzzia eat shit!

Glory to Ukraine. My overall favourite country in the entire world. 8)

Paphitis wrote:No you didn't end up with a night/IMC rating. No such thing.

There is a NIGHT VFR Rating but no Night IMC Rating. And a night VFR Rating only allows you to fly at night under VFR Flight Conditions, not IFR or IMC conditions. All you are allowed to do is navigate with visual reference at night, and all you are trained to do is keep he aircraft upright by scanning your instruments and that is about it. If you flew into IMC, you would be a dead man just like JFKs little brother.

To have an IMC Rating at night, you need an IMC Rating for day. In fact, just an IMC Rating automatically becomes a NIGHT IMC with only 3 take offs and landings per 90 days at night. That's how it works. IMC Rating btw is an Instrument Rating - allows you to fly in IMC (Instrument Meteorological Conditions) and entitles you to carry out Instrument approaches such as:

1) ILS/GLS Approaches,
2) DME Arc/ILS/GLS Approaches,
3) VOR (VHF Omni-directional Approaches,
4) RNAV Approaches,
5) GPS Approaches or Arrivals,
6) NDB - Non Directional Approaches,
7) SIDs - Standard Instrument Departures straight into IMC,
8. STARs _ Standard Arrivals, in IMC
9) Radar Departues - same as a SID but with Radar Assigned Vectors

If you flew in to IMC, you wouldn't be alive today because you would have killed yourself.

Flying in IMC is no joke. Imagine scuba diving at night in the ocean in bitch black darkness - you don't know where up or down is, left from right unless you have been adequately trained.

You did not have a NIGHT/IMC rating.

Secondly, you don't join the military and expect the right to exercise of your free will when given orders that are lawful and handed down from the chain. There is a chain of command for good reason and there is also a chain on all flightdecks and ships and so on. There has to be order and control, as well as respect and discipline. Otherwise, can you imagine the chaos. We see it with the Ruzzians because their entire chain of command is breaking down. You will NEVER see this with NATO forces, or the UK Military.

Reason why, is because you actually respect your superiors knowing that your superiors will walk with you every step of the way, and will never tell you to do something that they have not done or consider doing themselves. They lead by example.

As I correctly said, give someone with a brain that is easily influenced a bit of power and they think they know every thing. This BITCH has just demonstrated he does not even know the basic qualifications available to those in his own claimed profession.

My PPL has CAA stamps that confirm I have the qualifications as stated ..... of course they are not current and to fly I have to have an instructor with me. But I didn’t claim they were.

Paphitis ......... I can do your job but you could NEVER have done mine ..... you are too self opinionated.

So forum members, to prove what a stupid and ill-informed BITCH Paphitis is, even when it comes to the requirements of his own profession let me provide you with the facts to back my claim ..........

People like Paphitis, who will swallow any garbage fed to then never check ...... because they THINK they know it all. That applies to any subject they shout their mouth off about. Of course now having been proved wrong he will run par for his type and ignore the explanation that exposed his gross error of opinion and certainly would never express an apology, because even if proved wrong he still believes he is right. :roll:

I believe he is a pilot but not quite the sort of high raking airline pilot he would like us to believe. I would guess he mainly flies as SIC on cargo flights. Not all commercial pilots fly passenger jets ...... in fact they are a minority.

He posted these but was completely unaware they are all part of the CAA IMC Course. The following are included in the CAA PPL IMC Rating. An IMC rating is the PPL equivalent of an Instrument rating for a commercial pilot’s licence.

He is confused between IFR = Instrument Flight Rules and IMC = Instrument Meteorlogical Conditions. They are not the same thing. A PPL NEVER flies under IFR ..... they just fly in Controlled Air Space under IMC rules! The BITCH is too stupid to know the difference because he has never completed a PPL Flying Course.

1) ILS/GLS Approaches,
2) DME Arc/ILS/GLS Approaches,
3) VOR (VHF Omni-directional Approaches,
4) RNAV Approaches,

6) NDB - Non Directional (Beacon) Approaches,
7) SIDs - Standard Instrument Departures (EVEN) straight into IMC,
8.) STARs _ Standard Arrivals, in IMC

9) Radar Departures - same as a SID but with Radar Assigned Vectors (Didn’t have RADAR even though it was an airways equipped Piper 181 Warrier.)

Come on .... be fair! It's a career choice just like any other.

At school when in the last year, I was just 16 and had to make a career choice. I wanted to be an airline pilot but my parents could not afford to pay for that career route so I decided to join the RAF as The Queen had more aero planes than anyone else.

Having signed up as an Apprentice, as I was too young to even think of going to Cranwell, I was working toward that goal but I had a medical at 18 when you sign on for the 12 year career, that showed I had a 'heart 'condition'! So even if I had one of the few that made it that far that put a stop to that long held ambition. I had the option of leaving or going into admin, it was technically know as being 'free as an indulgence'! I left!

My short career path in the RAF showed me just what I explained, that you are conditioned from day 1 that you are one very small part of a massive organisation and your views/opinions count for nothing. You take orders ...... the higher you get the more flexibility you get but no matter how high you get .......YOU ARE UNDER ORDERS.

I had to wait until 1987 to become a private pilot ...... and paid for it all myself ..... ended up with Night/IMC and Twin Rating but it all became far to expensive. but I still have my PPL and have flow in Cyprus a couple of times .... but with an flying instructor in the other seat!

As a relatively free thinker the idea people have to have opinions driven out and replaced with another when they are in the forces ..... is simple common sense and ..... as I said ..... it could not work any other way. :roll:


I have this question for you RH. Suppose someone is diagnosed with a slight medical problem, which excludes him from flying passenger planes. Does that exclude him from flying cargo planes as well?

You would be excluded from a Class 1 medical certificate which is a requirement to have the following:

1) A Commercial License
2) Air Transport Licence
3) Instrument Rating.

Therefore you will be unable to fly passenger and freight commercially for any airline, charter company or freight as a paid pilot.

Things that will make you unable to get a Class 1 are things like very bad eyesight without correction, severe diabetes, issues with your inner air causing issues with balance, heart conditions, epilepsy, low oxygen levels in blood, bad hearing loss, color blindness etc

You better check that again because there is no qualification in the Australian CASA and US FAA that will allow you to fly in IMC conditions at night without an Instrument rating. Because if you did, you need to do an approach to get out of IMC and become visual.

What approaches are you trained to do? Can you do an ILS, VOR, NDB or RNAV. You need to be qualified to do one of them because once you are in IMC and are unable to get into VMC by your LSALT or lower safe altitude, then you need to do an approach.

Australia and US are all signatories to ICAO and all these countries are standardising qualifications.

I want you to post your Night IMC rating please. And then tell me what your rights and privileges are for this license to kill yourself.

Secondly, I’m impressed you claim to have served in the British SAS. The British SAS and Australian SAS are regarded to be the most elite soldiers in the world. These guys are very staunch. Recruits have died just from the training. They are the most staunch people you will ever meet. None will turn on their country. One of my best mates was a SAS. Danish in heritage and an Afghan veteran. Now a member of an outlay motorbike gang in Australia with a couple of issues such as PTSD.

Secondly, I wouldn’t want your job. That sounds like working for a living to me. My jobs have always been left of field. I don’t think I can ever be successful doing actual work. That’s for plebs. I only like Aviation and if I ever lose my medical I’d go back to Australia and work for myself. The other thing I like is money. I could never survive just earning a salary not with my tastes.

Living in a normal house in normal suburbia and driving a normal sensible family car is not for me. Eating shit food and cheap alcohol not for me neither. I’m not normal.

I’m so eccentric and out there that I actually own a Super Car for racing in competition - a super v8 with an LS3 engine with 750 hp at the wheels. Which is illegal for road use. It gets trucked in to the race track and is garaged at Shahins by the Shahin family who have similar illnesses and passions as me.

But I didn't take flying lessons in Australia or the US! But just like a driving licence, my pilots licence is valid in other states and, just like a driving licence, I would have to obey local legislation.

You are confusing IMC and IFR! IMC means you can’t see the ground and rely on instruments to determine every aspect of the aircraft relative to the ground. This can be either inside or outside controlled airspace. YOU flying IFR cannot normally fly outside controlled air space.

IFR means you are flying in a corridor and your instruments are used to keep you in the right place in that corridor. In both instances instructions to change speed, altitude or direction are given by ATC or ATC Approach/Departure.

How to avoid Kangaroos that stray onto the runway is not covered in the CAA IMC course either! :roll:

I posted a link to; https://fly-ga.co.uk/adding-flight-ratings-pilot-licence-ppl/ instead of demanding I send you personal details ..... where is your link to prove your opinion!

But your post does indentify you as ‘a bit of a gung-ho cowboy type’! An extravert that thinks rules only apply to others. There are thousands of them in Cyprus .... driving cars. When they crash it is always somebody else’s fault. I should think flying with you would be a similar experience? But as my instructor used to say “Every landing you can walk away from is a good one!:)
