So after a break of nearly a year I have found another Nissan leaf to soothe my needs to drive an EV.

OK, prop 90 Fantasy Runway time but why not?

I'm watching Through the Lens's videos of the M25 J10 remodelling (which won't help traffic btw) and keep catching glimpses of Wisley. Also, I flew over it a couple of years ago on approach to Brooklands...

This topic got me thinking about my first steps to getting the PPL.

Who were the pilots who gave up their afternoons to hurl spotty youths (in my time they were all male but of course not the case now, thank heavens) around the heavens (and often...

Just started a new logbook. Gave me pause to flick through a few of the old ones.

The ubiquitous PA28 was sixty five years old yesterday! First flight on January 14th 1960 according to the EAA.

Did my PPL on wheezy old 140s then a fair few hours on a Hershey bar winged 180, and certainly retain a soft spot for the latter.

Hi All,

I posted a recent video (I know I will do these things) where someone picked me up for switching Carb Heat to cold at 300ft AGL on final, as it was NOT IN THE POH .

All - I've been having the same issues as others in that every few weeks I find I can log into FLYER, but not the forum.

After some trial and error, this is the solution that works for me:

Not so much a thought experiment as a peek into the future.

Assuming that there's no useful vaccine, what's the exit strategy from this Covid mess for families, the economy, society, education, government... everything?

I just thought this is something we all should be aware of if flying to Germany in the coming months. Especially if flying into grass strips here and abroad.

I spend a bit of time in the car and listening the radio whilst I do things, and rather than listening to angry people on LBC, I thought I might see if there are any decent aviation podcasts that I can learn from.

It gave me atomic ache :oops:

Hi everyone,

Can anyone suggest what might be the closest flying club / school around my city (Milton Keynes) having 172 models of Cessna available for training?

Context: I'm a low-hours PPL who always flew only low-wing PA28 (both while on...

From a US press release.

The German aerospace startup’s shares plunged more than 60% following the news, then slightly pared its losses midday, only to return closer to its opening drop. The stock closed at a new 52-week low for the day, down...
