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...
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.
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...
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...
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.
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...
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...

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….!

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.
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”.
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 don't know what took me so long to post... Anyway, I'm 46 which is pretty ancient, but have always loved aviation, being a general geek ( :twisted: technology leader, prog rock fan). I lived abroad for a while in Israel which as you can imagine is...

Does anybody know of a way to send a non-flightplan AFTN message to an airport?
I'm doing the paperwork for a flight to Deauville tomorrow and the airport's emails and telephones all seem to be inop. They require customs notification and PPR...

rather surreal posting this but i'm a 53 year old that had a heart attack back in Feb followed by a triple heart by pass in March. I'm fully recovered now (signed off from doctor & hospital) however I almost had another heart attack when...
I note that Wadswick is still closed to visiting aircraft, due to surface conditions.
Is this the real reason, and if so, when will the ground improve?
Or are they having to restrict movements to appease the local council?
