Any electricks experts here who could help us with the latest Big Red shenanigans?
When we ran the engine last year, all the engine temps were fine (except CHT #1). But when we did the shake down flight last weekend, the EGT and CHT temperatures...
Oh dear….! I’ve been in three times since Madonna’s ex took over the reigns, still undecided on catering as it and the service have been at both ends of the scale….!
I’am prepared to give them the benefit of the doubt, we’re it another airfield...

Given the upcoming sale, its amazing to see such a positive spin on what is from the outside a worsening situation with current management at Gloucestershire Airport.
Cant believe any operator or tenant is happy to see the airport close or...
Using the standard charging cable, I can leave the SkyEcho2 on charge for days, but when I come to use it, the unit loses power (battery indicator from green to olive to red to off) very quickly, perhaps a maximum of 20 minutes. Is this a sign of a...
A seed was sown by a well-known student forumite (take a bow @t6harvard) that it might be nice to have a thread for relatively newly qualified students to share their first new flight experiences as inspiration for current students and ideas for...
It’s another hot weekend ahead, changes happening on Sunday, details below.
I’ve announced my next Aviation Weather School Online (Part 1) course, presented live by me over the consecutive Tuesday evenings of 2nd & 9th September...
Had to go around in my 182 yesterday. Was high, flaps 40, slipped aggressively to get down, bounced twice, full power, all was fine, but I was a bit slow on the forward pressure and not at all happy with myself.
The current thread on AI and a report that Google will never make its carbon zero targets due increasing worldwide computer usage, made me wonder more about the unseen cost to the environment caused by server farms.
We would all like to know about and join in celebrating noteworthy milestones along the path of your aviation career - whether that be private or commercial. This thread allows all those steps to be cast into internet eternity forever more....
A friend who is a retired airline captain has told me vociferously that a flight plan from overseas (e.g. France) must be closed on arrival. The only option was to bet him £50 that this is not, and has not in recent history been, the case.
Faced with the high cost of a potential ecg stress test to maintain a rarely used CRI rating, I have decided to instead try to renew my Class 1 medical and Canadian Class 2 instructor rating.
The instructor rating is important for my credibility....
I've just been invited to Classic Le Mans next weekend. I'm looking at staying from Wed/Thurs to Sun/Mon.
Have any of you done it before please? I'm assuming it might be booked out or prohibitively expensive and would be grateful for a steer and...
So for almost 20yrs I've been flying out of Lee on Solent in PA-28 type aircraft (Warrior and now Turbo Arrow) and had always viewed Le-Touquet as a kind of UK VFR aviators Blackpool :lol: and always kind of turned my nose up at it. :oops: :oops:...
We’re delighted to welcome Flight Lieutenant Jamie Jackson, aka JJ, who has pretty much the ultimate aviation job: he flies the Lancaster for the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight!

I have connected a set of TP-Link TL-WPA4221 KIT powerline adapters to a Unifi UDM Pro router/switch/modem, and they are paired and talking to each other. I can connect to the extender unit via wi-fi, but when I do I can't then access the internet,...
For some reason, my SD, from time to time, does not build the chart screen with all the map tiles, leaving me with perhaps 1/8 of the map and 7/8 of blue (see image) .
The traffic is still displayed and my magenta line, but no chart. Then afte a...
Did a brief search but only found Milty to have posted a Christmas rhyme about it. ChatGPT is the most advanced ChatBot in the world, made by openAI - Anyway google or try it yourself and let it learn from your data and extract your soul...
I've just reluctantly set up an account with who seem to do the bookings for an increasing number of airports.
I can't understand a word of it. If I make a booking request is it merely an enquiry or should I expect an invoice and a booking number?...
I'm aware that a few forumites suffer from high blood pressure :lol: :lol: but I have a friend with low blood pressure and I'm not sure that she is asking the right questions of her GP and I suspect that some of you may have experience of this....
Is it possible to apply for a PMD with a UK Part FCL CPL? I appreciate you cannot exercise privileges of a CPL with a PMD but I had assumed you could still use PMD for private flying. However, the options when you apply only include Part FCL PPL. I...
Two years ago, I hit my half century. I didn't get divorced (I did that in 2018). I didn't buy a Porsche 911 (I did that in 2019). But there seemed to be an itch that needed to be scratched, and I didn't know what it was. I have done lots of...
I have seven more flying days left. I'll probably do my JAA checkride on Wed or Fri this week, and the FAA on Mon or Tue next week before getting back. For the JAA, I just need an extra hour of instrument (scheduled tomorrow) and a...

Runway 18, left hand circuit, and you’re approaching from the south, east.
“I’ll fly to the east of the airfield, dead side, till I’m level with downwind, at circuit height, then I’ll turn west, across the numbers, and join downwind”.
