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

Who would have thought, a tiny eel like fish that lives on sandbanks, would trigger a major dispute.

Hi,

I'm planning a VFR trip to Split in May in an Beech Bonanza (no oxygen) breaking the journey up into 3 legs to clear customs at the 1st stop and have a break at the 2nd (possibly overnight) and then on to Sinj (LDSS).

Having only been as far...

Hi,

I’m a PPL(A) with just shy of 100 hours. Half of these were dual hours obtaining my PPL, the other half are solo PIC hours since my PPL was issued 16 months ago.

Hey! I thought I would reach out here.

I have thankfully come now to a position where disposable income is at the point I can pursue my PPL. I did a few trial flights a few years ago but due to COVID/Work Commitments, this had to stop.

I've just discovered this series on the telly and am now heavily into it on iPlayer, finding it pretty good.

Hi All
Can anybody tell me where I can find the definitive answer to how flight time should be recorded.? There seems to be many opinions ( engine on, brakes off, etc) but the only thing I can find in the ANO pertains to rotary wing

An interesting look by an American living here, at UK Government's demand to have access to Apple's encryption through a back door.

In my opinion...

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

Does anyone know whether there is an equivalent of this document for the UK PPL Theoretical Exams:-

Evening all, I’m hoping that the combined knowledge of the forum can, once again, make up for the inability of the CAA to provide accessible information! Any help you can provide would be appreciated.

Hi everyone,

I am planning to book my LAPL medical in the next few weeks and was wondering how different it is to the class 2 medical?

Is a spirometry (lung function test) required for the lapl or only the class 2?

Thanks in advance

Hello all,
I realise this probably crops up with alarming monotony (and apologies for not helping) but here's an excerpt from the most recent (August 2015) consolidated RotA + SERA + exemptions document :

What is your opinion if push comes to shove ? Maybe just brinkmanship but it is looking mighty close. Should we, could we, as part of a joint effort, support the Ukraine militarily ? Or, will we be witness to an updated version of 1930s appeasement ?
