Link Trainer

Post by R5868 »

Can anyone help with the meaning of "P&F" when using a Link Trainer. The first two sessions my uncle did on the trainer were marked as "P&F" in his logbook. He the went through the series of lessons during his time at EFTS.

I've now come up with another problem. My list of exercises for the Link Trainer only go from 1 to 8. However, in EFTS my uncle has done Lessons 1 -14. What are each of the lessons?

Pete T looked into this a while ago. He kindly sent me the Instructors Manual for the Link Trainer. PM me an email address and I'll send it on. It doesn't seem to explain 'P&F' ...

I think the F may relate to Familiarisation but I don't know what the P stands for (Preparation??? as a thought)

If the instructor manual (as offered above) does not provide the answers you need on the exercises, please e-mail me and I will dig out my Link Trainer file and see if I can answer your questions.

Regards
