Hi Helen.
Are you still planning on offering remote LSRM classes?

I completed the Rainbow Aviation LSR-I course recently, and enjoyed it quite a bit. It whetted my appetite to learn more. I don't think I'd ever want to hang out my shingle to do work for others, but I do like being able to legally do the things I'm comfortable doing. A remote LSR-M course might be very interesting to me! However, I understood the LRSM course to require multiple days of "hands on" training, as well as the classroom... Not sure how that could get done "remotely" and still satisfy the FAA... But I'd be happy to be "edumacated" on that score.

PS - one of the interesting "by-products" of the LSR-I course for a few of the attendees was that they realized that even though it would be "legal" for them to do their own inspections, it might not be "smart" for them to do so... Not everyone has the "eye" to spot things that aren't right. And based on some comments before, during, and after the classes, some of those guys would be downright "scary" working on an airplane.

We have never offered an LSRM class although we have hosted Lockwood for Rotax training and hope to again next year. The closest place to us (and least expensive place altogether) for the three week class is Blue Ridge Community College. One of our staff mechanics got his rating there and enjoyed the training.

Ah, yes. I was confusing you with the college. My apologies.
