Doubt there'll be a big effect on GA though.

I'm sure this has been done to death, but, I can't find any reference using 'search'.
Or usually anything else using 'search'- but that's probably me.

Well folks, I'm sure we've all been on the edge of our seats waiting for the results to come in.

I'm sure I wouldn't be thanked for re-opening any debates about any motion before that AGM.

However - I am going to point out that anybody who can't attend, but has an opinion - today's your last day to get your proxy voting form to Turweston....

Interesting challenge tomorrow where I have been asked to give the son of a buddy a one hour lesson to help prepare him for his military flying career. Given the nature of the task, what would you include in this brief taster?

My FTTC speeds are not toooo bad (27 down, 9 up) but I am finding that as often as not sites are very slow to load - especially the first page within a website when clicking on a (DuckDuckGo) web search. Is there a cause for this, and if so is there...

Just seen this on BBC News - quite why they're advertising this sort of activity, I don't know, but it does raise the question of why buildings and former business premises are allowed to fall into such disrepair when there is such an acute shortage...

I’ve never really looked into any of this because it’s all way, way above my pay grade.... however, I’ve sometimes pondered that if I did have that sort of cash to splash on a plane, would I be happy with just a single engine?

I guess it’s not just...

I was on a local solo nav and was trying to avoid a certain no-fly zone whilst orientating myself in less than perfect weather (all I was used to until now).

When I checked my instruments, I noticed I was at 2,550 ft, so had infringed the London...

I'm just about to go through the farce of opening the letter for my motor insurance quote, finding it to be much higher than last year, scouring the internet for a cheaper one then finding the current company can magically beat the internet when I...

Elsewhere, I have been attempting to correct a misunderstanding (seen here a few times over the years) about when you can log "P2" in a UK single pilot aeroplane. (Answer, as we know: Almost never).

So.... what are...

Dear All,
You may or may not remember taking part in a research study for me more than a year ago now. I have now developed a new project with a new student, who is a GA pilot as well as a Psychology researcher. I would like to invite you to take...

For years, as an Air Traffic'er, I have winced at the phrase, in response to my provision of traffic information; "We have it on TCAS". I don't quite know why it has always niggled me but I think it is because it always feels as though...

Just heard that Darryl, the record-breaking pilot, passed away on October 1st. Looking back at his life I bet some would have said that his chances of reaching 82 would have been slim to say the least!

Hi

I’ve searched the forums but can’t seem to come across anything close to the answer I’m looking for. Basically I’m planning on taking my 6 month old son up soon but the PA28 I fly only has lap belts in the back. Is this the only way to fit the...

Wind on the ground when I arrived at the airfield today was southerly, around 5-10kts. Looked at Skydemon, winds forecast to be 45kts @2700. B*llocks I thought..... That can't be right.

Sure enough, after take off, about turn, head north at 1200ft,...

I heard many calls to 132.8 on Sunday with no response as indeed did I when I transitted the Stansted TMZ. If I missed it then my fault but if so what was the instruction to obtain TMZ transit approval?
