      The Professional PPL Paradox

      Dec 14, 2018

      Years ago I sat down in a class at Moorabbin. It was a one-off weekend course entitled “PPL Refresher”. My PPL certainly needed refreshing because my bank account had forced it to go stale. The opening statement from the instructor had me thinking I’

      Perhaps the most telling line in the final investigation report into the crash of Air France 447 over the Atlantic in 2009 is this one: The angle of attack, when it was valid, always remained above 35 degrees. The aircraft involved was an A330 carryi
