Does anyone know what the "MANU" selection on this actually does, I have been reading the manual and the explanation is very unclear! N.B. if you are looking at fitting one of these - DON'T!

Seriously impressive!

An example video of how close things can get, but with a traffic service for me it makes it that bit safer.

Where possible I always use a Traffic Service outside controlled airspace, especially when I venture in and out of clouds.

We're hiring!!!

If you're an enthusiastic restricted / un-restricted flight instructor who can teach the full PPL(A) and would like to join our aviation loving, pasty eating, cake appreciating team down in stunning Cornwall then we would love to...
