Overview
Since 2014 the UK has exempted any aircraft being flown within UK class D airspace at or below 3,000 feet above mean sea level from SERA.5001 (VMC visibility and...

I know not everyone has Sky but my god this is absolutely brilliant.

Probably the best thing I've seen on TV for a very long time.

Highly, highly recommended!

“After a solo flight away from base, it’s nice to meet up and have a chat over a cuppa.” ........at the land away airfield.

Following a request (thank you Waveflyer!) we will have, until further notice, a dedicated sticky post on the GA where...

EASA has just launched a project to try to address the perceived shortage of flight instructors. It strikes me that a good first step is to identify why pilots who might become instructors choose not to do so.

I'd be interested in any potential...

I have a leaking cylinder base seal which needs to be replaced. So, with everything on the engine removed to facilitate the withdrawal of the cylinder, as yet I haven't been able to budge it. I can wriggle it very sightly, there is movement! But it...

Lot of talk about a 2nd Brexit vote.

...just like there was a lot of talk about a 2nd Scottish IndyRef vote.

I remember like yesterday the 2nd Irish Lisbon Treaty vote.

I have many philosophical reservations about democracy overall - but having a...

Long overdue in my opinion as it was just exploiting the most vulnerable in society, ITV has decided that the Jeremy Kyle show has had its time.

If you're taking CPL theory (and I think one or two are) and have yet to do flight planning then you may want to read this. I thought I was very well prepared for this exam and actually thought it was my best bet for getting 100% (or close) but you...

Flew past Cardington today and saw a big roundey thing outside, :shock:

I have been thinking about my last lesson and I taxied the plane out to the beginning of the runway. Not very well unfortunately. I couldn’t get the rudder control right and it was a bit embarrassing. :oops: Is it just me or has anyone had this...

Hello everyone,
I have just started my journey toward a PPL and will be learning at Rougham Airfield.

Here's my first question...what do I need to buy?

Is there a list anyone can give me or perhaps there's a company that can sell me a bundle?...

As a lover of F1 as well of aviation I was sad to hear of his death today.

This is the first of many good obituaries. He was a keen GA pilot (though his budget and aircraft choices were probably out of the reach of most) and his enjoyment of risk...

The "come from away" and a few comments on other threads got me thinking over the past few days about traditional music that I grew up with.

For more worse than better, I was classically trained, played in orchestras and was a very...

As part of the June 'Daks over Normandy' commemorations the D-Day Squadron are congregating at Oxford, Connecticut (KOXC) ready to set off across the Atlantic this Sunday.

Myself and a couple of other forum members will be meeting for a low key afternoon chat. If there's anyone else around who'd like to join us, please do feel free.

The last week I've been coming across eBay listings that are obvious scams and eBay themselves seem to be having their work cut out removing them as fast as they are appearing. I've seen similar before but not on this scale. The perps must have some...

Obvious question - why not?

Yes, I know that at present a CRI cannot teach for the NQ / NR. But why not, philosophically?

If they meet the same requirements as an FI to be able to teach for the NQ, why shouldn't they? I can see no level on which...

I am finally replacing an ancient laptop with a newer one. Older has a CD drive, new one has not. For nearly all files which I had on CD, I have been able to read in to older, copy to a USB stick, then load from that stick to the new one. There is...

After just having my IR(R) application rejected by the CAA for the second time I have a query for you all...

Do you log flight time as decimal (a flight from 0900-1015 as 1.25 hours) or Hrs:Mins (same flight as 1:15).

The second rejection was due...

Hi i currently hold a NPPL(M) since august 18, i have been considering on adding the ssea rating to my licence to allow me to fly larger easa and annex type aircraft in the future.

With all the talk of raising the weight limits and stall speeds up...

Hi everybody!
I am now 5 hours in to my training, with circuit work next on the agenda, and I can't help but think to myself "one day I'll be doing it solo!" and I can't help but get incredibly excited!

So I suppose I'm just curious to...

All over my (very limited) Twitter feed and in the (few) Youtube channels I follow there's been a lot of reactions to the final season of Game of Thrones, in particular the last two episodes. But here: absolute silence.

Is everyone here to serious...

I shared in my post "When's it too late..?" that I want to become a commercial pilot. It's a deliberate career change choice based on wanting to realise a boyhood wish. So I've decided it really is now or never.

I have booked in for my...

I've never had to buy spark plugs for an aero engine so looking for some advice, please.

I'm not particularly price sensitive so just trying to figure out what the team thinks is best.

Looking for a nice stop between Newquay and Caernarfon.

Out of West Wales, Swansea, and Haverfordwest I was leaning towards Haverfordwest as looking like the most welcoming for a landing and a cafe visit! Any other suggestions or ideas?

Hi there,

Enquiring into if anyone knows of any digital phone apps (on android) that are based on or could be used for study revision or test/exam practice for the PPL H, like how there's the 'PPL Tutor' app for PPL A, which has revision notes and...

Not on SkyDemon but I know of it having seen an RV drop in when nearby; looking for contact details to humbly request PPR.

Looking at a stop for fuel and maybe a bite to eat if available, on the way from Laddingford to St Mary's. Which of these two airports would you recommend? I'm leaning towards Goodwood...

Overall, my plan is a night at St Mary's, 2 at Newquay, and...

Can anyone recommend a PC simulator that incorporates the newer fancy PBN GPS?

I expect I will have to replace my venerable 430 soon and I would like to be able to practice.

Good to see that Lasham have mounted a judicial review appeal re the Farnborough airspace kerfuffle.

Worth a donation I think.

There’s a place called Lamport, that’s west of Kettering. I can’t seem to find a nearby strip.

Any suggestions?

When Mode “S” was introduced I, like many others, had a choice between Garmin and Trig. I was replacing a Garmin327 so Garmin felt like the way to go. Back then the choice was 328 or 330 and all the advice was 330 was the future proof, if not more...

It's out in the UK, but strangely in an edited form :?:

We went to see it at T' Bratfut Imax yesterday, it is just the Imax footage they show which chops it down from 1:30 to around 50 mins but it is still stunning.

Lots of great footage, some I...

Beach find....
It’s about 2x 2.5cm, and a few millimetres deep. Very light, definitely not stone, more like bone or shell. I did wonder at first if it was a bit of plastic but it’s not. The holes are irregular and don’t appear manufactured. The...

I think there are a number of well traveled folks here, looking for advice please.

I find myself in Dar Es Salaam, working in the city. I made sure all vaccinations are up to date and am taking malaria tablets. Is it reasonable to assume that...

It will be NOTAMed, but the airfield will be closed to visitors Monday 29th April through Thursday May 2nd

This is to allow for the extension to the main runway to facilitate the proposed A380 Cathay Pacific service to Swaffham.

I'm looking to do an EASA PPL and I've had trial lessons at a couple of flying clubs, I'm trying to think about which one to choose. I've got a background in gliding with some NPPL time at the gliding club which I believe is no longer transferable...

Simply; is the HIAL controller dispute justified, or is HIAL right in that the HIAL controllers jobs should not be compared to NATS controllers, with correlation between traffic volume and salary being justified?

Before I spend a lot of frustrating time trying to find the answer myself, does anyone know please the answer to the situation below?
