in Alaska's Toughest Pilots on at the moment - completely nuts in my opinion!

Just seeing that 50million people affected by power outages in Spain and Portugal over the weekend. Absolutely no electricity. We reply on Electricity for so much in our lives.

Hi all,

They always seem to be in the middle of fields or ludicrously out in the open.

I’ve presumed that either the landscapes have changed since WW2 and they used to be in hedgerows, or they were diversions to draw fire away from the actual...

Crossed the CTR yesterday evening in a Tiger Moth. No transponder. Busy IFR traffic. Poor vis in the setting sun.

Controller simply couldn't have been more helpful. Really excellent. Benchmark of how to do it. Bristol take note.

Hi,

I’m a PPL(A) holder with an IR(R), I’ve got about 110hrs total of which about 50% is PIC.

I’m looking at next steps in my aviation journey - I’ve already ruled out ATPL (sadly) due to lifestyle commitments that mean I simply couldn’t make...

I'm familiar with Cranfield , Cambridge, Southend and Norwich but can anybody provide any feedback to cost / experience using any of the following:

East midlands
Birmingham
Oxford
Doncaster
Gloucester

Current IR holder looking for somewhere...

Major milestone today :D my second logbook. Just one problem though, it’s a Pooley’s logbook with 2 Instrument columns; 1st is ‘Instrument Flying’ and the 2nd is ‘Simulated Instrument Flying ‘
Am I supposed to total both P1 and Put Instrument Flying...

Over the past weekend I haven’t been able to get into the forums to post.

On Saturday I appeared to be logged out so clicked on sign in. This didn’t take me to the usual page to enter username and password, it seemed to bypass that and took me...

Each year I post copied output from the Northern Aviators FB page to give intrepid Forumites as much notice as possible.

Leeming primary radar (PSR) has had a sector blank installed from 237-277T. No PSR coverage is available in this sector

Just curious, what is a 'sector blank' and why would one be installed?

#FLY2024 Challenge is over… let's start again! 8)

FLYER invites you to share in the new #FLY2025 Challenge - and you'll see that this year we've tweaked the elements. Some elements might be a bit more attainable than previous years, others might...

This piqued my interest this morning:

TEMPO danger area (TDA) established - EGD091. (Eid 015 Shannon FIR segment). Within area bounded by

Right, so - my house here in Belgium is from the early 1950s.

Concrete was still a bit scarce after the war, so the ground floor at my place has half concrete floors & half wooden floors, latter supported by rafters (for lack of a better...

Upcoming free landings for FLYER Club Members! In May, you will have:
Bagby

That could save most GA pilots at least £61. That is a...

One Dak didn’t make it to Europe last year due to engine problems despite heroic efforts to change one of the donkeys.

Now though N151ZE is preparing to set off on that journey

It’s the Commemorative Air Force’s Douglas R4D

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

But things have changed a bit on the charging front !

No longer does my Ecotricity electric highway card work in the machines at the motorway...

According to the interweb all flying at Wyton ceased in 2013 and the UK Mil AIP no longer lists it. But SkyDemon and elsewhere say there's still military flying training from grass and tarmac rws 08/26 south of the old main runway (which is now full...

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.

Please...

I might be missing something obvious, but try as I might I can't find the operating hours for the LARS providers in any sensible place in the AIP. Can some kind and knowledgeable soul point an old pilot in the right direction please?

Hi everyone,

I'm planning a little trip to Rome in a Cessna, and would love your advice. The plan would be to fly over the city to enjoy the view and then land to visit must-sees like the Colosseum.

For those who have already done this kind of...

Last week I swallowed some plutonium.

It gave me atomic ache :oops:

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?

This month’s FLYER Club members-only webinar is on Tuesday 13 May at 7pm, and it’s with Bob Bevan - Chief Operating Officer of Visicover!

Bob will be talking through everything we need to know about aviation insurance. He’ll cover (no pun intended)...

Funnily enough the Pub with no Name is an imposter.

It does have a name, it's the White Horse Inn. The misnomer comes about because it has no sign, rather than no name.

I recommend a map. It's set well back from the road. If you see what...

In this week’s show we’ll be giving you a sneak preview of the Popham Microlight Fair 2025, which is on this weekend! Airfield manager Mike Pearson will be making an appearance to let us know what’s in store this year, and we’ll be looking ahead to...

Any advice on flying into Europe from UK this year? Brexit and Covid19 considerations?
Heading down from the Blackpool area. Cherbourg, Jersey, Saint Nazaire. Another day to Stendal in Germany. :mrgreen: Make a trip out of it.

:shock:

Hello people, does anyone out there know anything about this place? I live really close (relatively anyway) and would like to make contact with whoever owns/runs the place as my dream is to hangar there one day.
I'm sure some of you have this...

Well its that time of year again and the temperatures are on the rise.

I've posted this before and its well worth a watch.

There are two speakers the first suffered vapour locking over some mountains and there are some big take aways from his...

As a Piper Archer owner on the UK register I administer my own AMP and have always had a requirement to calibrate the ASI/ALT and Transponder every two years to enable flight under IFR in controlled airspace. The regulations for doing so have been...

Should they be lauded as having individuality and pzazz, or should puppies be killed in retribution?

It’s chocolate side down…

It took some time to finish, but now it is done, done, done.

Back in September we took the WT9 for a special trip through the Alps. Several days in a row high pressure and close to no winds. And we went all the way from West to East.

I did get my...

Hi all, have a question I've been struggling to find suitable answer for whilst waiting for my next IR lesson.

What do students do for flight plans when planning for training flights to airfields for practice approaches or for the skills test...

Happy World Pilot's Day

Apparently, that's today. I am told that it is supposed to celebrate the skill, dedication and contributions of pilots across all sectors of aviation worldwide.

I don't know about skill and dedication, even though I've...

Team, what is the current best buy?

In recent months, on a variety of forums away from Flyer, but maybe including, there has been this misconception that Danger Areas, whether they be Permanent or Temporary are a 'brick wall in the sky', 'airspace closures' or whatever you wish to...

I've been PPL flying for a few years now and due to a relocation, I don't fly at the club I learned at.

The particular club/airfield in question is very good at communication/customer service. They pick up phone calls or call back within an hour,...

As of today.

BBC are predicting max +26 deg C on Apr 30/May 1st.

Evening, hoping you all can help?

Where can I find a list (or if anyone can confirm) a list of mandatory equipment required for an aircraft to be certified for IFR flight?

Also is it possible for IR(r) training to be undertaken in my own...

A positive step from our Regulator.
