Zeratul Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 As a soon to be PPG'er I've not yet purchased a motor or wing (but soon) - but I'm sure there are some small essential and not so essential 'toys/equipment' are also needed. Its my birthday next month and being new to PPG I've only committed to buying an expensive pair of waterproof boots - Can anyone suggest Items I can tell the wife and family to buy me for around the £50 mark? ie Gloves? Neck warmer thingy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeratul Posted May 29, 2019 Author Share Posted May 29, 2019 Air charts? What!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndySV1K Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 like these.... https://www.flightstore.co.uk/pilot-supplies-c1/charts-c2 *there are other places to buy too. If you're buying one, go for the quarter mill. Half mill is also useful for higher altitude stuff. Andy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeratul Posted May 31, 2019 Author Share Posted May 31, 2019 (edited) Interesting site! Yes, chart/charts is a good idea, thanks. Will probably need a book to learn how to read it also! Edited May 31, 2019 by Zeratul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndySV1K Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 All the charts have really good notes on them to explain everything, but your training should cover it anyway as it's the part of flying we HAVE to adhere to. .....You don't want to become a mention on the local news channel for flying where you shouldn't!
