I guess we'll watch the lot, but as we are currently at the end of Series 3 I thought I would check if people who have stuck with it think it's worth the effort.

We watched Series One a couple of weeks back, two episodes a night over three nights...

We are flying down to Perranporth in a week's time VFR. Around Exeter there's what used to be an airway aligned Berry Head to Brecon VOR's but now designated as Berry Head CTA. Skydemon doesn't show a frequency. We would like to cross at FL85, maybe...

Can anybody please point me to the source of definitive notification that from later this year ( ?June) the UK IR fraternity will no longer be permitted to carry out PBN LPV approaches.?

As much detail as possible would be appreciated: As I believe...

If so, this might bring back a few memories.

I stumbled across it on YouTube and was instantly taken back to my first flight in a light aircraft almost exactly 38 years ago.

Hello everyone,

I'm planning to purchase a plane (haven't decided yet if I'll be a single owner or group ownership) and I'm wondering if I can hire out my plane in future?

I.e can I advertise my plane online for private hire by other pilots and...

I have been advised by my maintenance organisation that, as a result of the UK leaving EASA, the regime for our PA28 will need to change so that, effectively, an annual is required every 100 hours. We do about 180 - 200 hours a year, so I am...

Can anyone recommend a company to have a logo - 30cmx30cm max that I can attach for a ceconite covered airframe? I assume the logo would need to be fairly flexible to allow for flex.

I understand hard surfaces allow continued use of an aerodrome in more weather conditions... wheels don't get stuck in the mud, propellers whip up less pebbles, and so on.

But roughly how much more would a hard surface cost to maintain compared to...

Am I correct in believing that regulations require that registration lettering on the wing undersurface should read inwards from the tip?
Thanks

Fingers crossed!

Does anyone know where I could get detail on the undercarriage so I can do maintenance on it, please?

Kind regards

Firstly, I'm asking this for a mate that doesn't do social media or forums. I'm just a lowly NPPL so haven't really got a clue, but said I'd ask the wise ones here.
Don't beat me up, I'm genuinely asking for a friend!

Hi everyone !

I'm Canadian and was wondering what it takes to convert a TC (transport Canada) CPL and instructor rating to their CAA counterpart ?

I did some researched on CAA website but didn't really find anything.

Thanks a lot.

The time on our Dynon is about 30 mins out, someone in the group had deselected the GPS and time was then well out so thought that was the problem but now have re set it and clock is still not right, any suggestions?

Have always fancied having one
seems lots of folks are printing parts for various NHS kit
PPE, masks, ventilator valves
might be worth investing (or any excuse to get a new toy!)

any recommendations?

cheers
