About 2 weeks ago, WhatsApp just stopped notifying me on my iPhone X

As you may have seen there is likely to be a bill in parliament before Christmas.

I understand this is a very personal decision, and I am not trying to change anyone's mind.

But can I ask as many of you as feel it would be the right thing to offer...

Took my father up for the first time since gaining licence and we went to Compton. Gorgeous day for sight-seeing.
Excellent airfield, friendly on the phone, good set up and the pay by card at the pumps system worked well.

The kites hovering nearby...

Does anyone know where he is?? His phone has been going straight to voice mail for several days. I know he was trying to rescue the Stearman from Lundy but he was answering his phone from there a week or so back.

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...

With Sleap and Rochester having slashed 10 p / litre off AVGAS, are we seeing a general fuel price reduction ?

Sleap down to £1.79 / litre
Rochester down to £1.91 / litre

Tragic loss of life especially after all he's been through after last two years.

But are the Italians serious in thinking survivors may be alive in air pockets after over three days? :(

I am wondering what other people's experiences of this are. For the first time in my flying experience an aircraft I own was ramp-checked a few weeks ago in the UK. Whilst I have no problem with the concept of compliance spot-checks, what I was very...

There was a brief discussion on the Skivestream on what the French would be for Skivestream so I thought I'd ask ChatGPT.

Glandostream and Flemmestream were offered. I'm not familiar with the words Glander or Flemme in French, but maybe someone...

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?

Hi All,

I need to clear customs from the UK into the Netherlands. Has anyone had recent experience going to Lelystad?

Rotterdam is also a possibility. Any other suggestions?
I am going just East of Amsterdam.

Thanks

Apologies if this is the incorrect Forum.

I have a Spider Wireless headset. Got it in 2016 when I first started PPL.

11 years ago today I bought my very own aeroplane.

Since then:

759:54 hours in the sky
942 flights
960 landings
22,347 liters of avgas (equivalent to a full tank of fuel for a Boeing 737)
142 kg of oil

Incalculable joy and happiness

This week we are looking forward to welcoming Mr Oshkosh himself, Jack Pelton - CEO of EAA - The Spirit of Aviation!

The Coroner held a pre-inquest hearing today and has set a date of September 2021.

The reason includes the fact that 150 people have applied to attend which is impossible at the present.

She will sit alone without a Jury.

On the BBC, announced that Historic England have just published a set of archive photos from an aerial photographer taken late 20s, early 30s. Some quite fascinating stuff in here:

Just after Christmas we acquired a rescue lurcher. Meet Stretch.

Stretch is not a high fuss or stress dog. He is either running (very fast and bad news if small and furry, so we're careful where he is off lead), lying down trying to attract...

I've flown my instructor hour (first trip in a Tiger Moth, thank you for asking :D) and have my licences and logbook appropriately signed etc.

Apparently this time I have to now also submit the relevant information via the CAA Portal.

But how?...

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...

Does anyone know if a class 2 on expiry, which then becomes a LAPL med for another year, would be valid with a US 61.75? I've looked at the FARs and it only states valid 'medical' is necessary. Which of course a LAPL medical is. Wondered if it...

It has a damaged rudder and propellor.

Note 5) now includes class 2 in the second sentence.

Just a heads up
IF you want to see potentially conflicting aircraft, you will need EC help to do it. It should detect ADSB, Mode S, FLARM. That's all the ones that reveal position. You can also get Mode C warnings, but their bearingless and only...

Big regional airport up on the plateau.
