Hi;
Irrespective of whether it is 50' or not I find it hard to believe
that the figure is given in
viding a cite to a current GFA or non-exempted
CASA regulation which states what GFA annual check entails, whether
it's required to be signed out in a logbook, or whether an instructor
is even required to be present, would help to settle a long-standing
argument :)

Hi;
There is an alternative to the OLC at:

I don't understand why they would not have had artificial horizon or
