Great vid! Thinking of joining the RAF as a pilot (quite like to go multi-engine aswell), but not sure if i like the military aspect of the job; any good advice or info you could share? Thanks.

Not bad....we get 25 hrs in a DA-20C1, ~120 hrs in a T-6II, then you "track" to and finish up in either T-38s, T-1s, T-44s, or JetRangers with the Army.
All in all we finish with about 250hrs or so when it's all said and done.

My concerns with over stressing air frames nearly always lies with rental airplanes.

the GPS has a wind finder on it, but there is no wind limit at height, just potential time and fuel burn issues. the crosswind limit is 25 knots for landing, 15 for students. the highest we can fly these is FL280, although they can go to FL350 but we are limited by RVSM compliance, as the RAF feels there is no need to buy the license. they are pressurised and have oxygen masks for emergency use.

do you have onboard wind speed direction indicator? is a xwind component for an aircraft the same when at cruise level as a xwind landing. so if the xwind coponent was say 40knots, would it matter if you had a xwind at of 78 knots at fl 240

we never practice double engine failures because it is such a remote possibility, but they tell us the best glide speed is 135kts if they ever both failed. we practice EFATO's at 200 feet AGL. i hope i answered all your questions!!
