Apologies in advance if the answer to some of my questions are buried in my Met study books...also apologies if I struggle to word the question succintly...

I’ve got some avionics work to do in the baron
I’m having 2 G5s, and a 530waas - I already have the KFC200 in situ but due to a fault with the king AI it won’t hold altitude (hence the need to fit a G5)

I know if I buy the GDA29 I can interface...

Is it possible to determine the diameter and pitch from the model number (D11 28 7C)?

I thought it would be in the LAA Tech Leaflet TL3.12 , or elsewhere on the LAA site, but no immediate joy.

The wingtip of our PA28 parked at Cardiff was clobbered by a visiting aircraft yesterday. The pilot concerned was apparently unaware he'd had a taxying incident, and flew his aircraft back to base.

Damage was spotted on our aircraft this morning....

Prompted by the pocket camera thread... any recommendations for a digital photo frame that will let me upload photos from afar and play a slideshow?

There used to be some that were Wi-Fi enabled but I haven’t looked into this for a while.

I’m also...

Hi

I'm selling my Bose Aviation X headset as, sadly, I'm not flying these days.

The headset and case are in great condition, no marks or blemishes.

The earpads and mic windsock are both new and unused. I'm guessing no more than 50 hours of use in...

Please read the sticky ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
CAA consultation thread and contribute if you can, there's good advice on the thread, it's not a long form.

Since most of us are possibly in for an extended period of @home, what to do?

I already started a playlist on Spotify:

I found this while having a Dropbox house keeping session

I thought given the recent 80 year anniversary that it might be of interest.

I hope this is an OK request on this forum. My son lives near Sion, Switzerland with his family. My husband and I have been unable to visit for nearly a year and are hoping to go over in November 2020 (13th to 27th) for our new grand daughter's 1st...

Simply; is the HIAL controller dispute justified, or is HIAL right in that the HIAL controllers jobs should not be compared to NATS controllers, with correlation between traffic volume and salary being justified?

Earlier this year I saw an advert (I unfortunately can’t remember for the life of me where, hence asking this question) for an evening lecture on flying overseas, which was sold out. It may have been at Oxford, or if not somewhere in the South East....

I started my renewal training last Dec and Jan but it then all came to a halt. I lined up an instructor to complete and test but she has become unfit and I am looking for an instructor to complete my renewal and Assessment of Competence. I know...

I shared in my post "When's it too late..?" that I want to become a commercial pilot. It's a deliberate career change choice based on wanting to realise a boyhood wish. So I've decided it really is now or never.

I have booked in for my...

(Have we a blanket ban on discussing this? If so please delete.)

From the start I had accepted the view that this was, by definition, a 'novel' disease against which we have no defence. However I think it was Bob Crowe who linked to this:

This is so important I've split it off from the BZN thread.

Overview

The CAA is introducing a new procedure to review and where appropriate amend airspace classification.

The classification determines the flight rules that apply in that...

Yesterday, Deanland pilots were given the sad news that Chris had died of lung cancer on Saturday.

Various:

Sunncamp Silhouette 200 tent, which was bought because one (or two) can stand up in it :D ;
Double mattress - self inflates to not-a-lot-thicker but does the job;

I recently posted a link to a YT video from a weekend trip where I (sadly) didn't participate. But I did fly in this year's main club trip. :D

Anyone know anything about this homebuilt? Impossible to find articles. There are very few YouTube videos so I was wondering if anyone has seen a flying version of this plane?

Hello Everyone!

I am a FAA Flight Instructor (CFI/MEI/CFII) pilot with dual nationality (British/American). I'm moving back home to Cornwall soon with my wife and I'd like to keep flying. Does anyone know of a UK based flight school with N-tail...

Anyone know of a strip near the Prescott Hill Climb venue?

Best I can see on SkyDemon is Upper Harford.

Asking for a friend :)

Woohooo I became a CRI yesterday.

I am not far from Kemble, keep me in mind if you need to reval, complex differences or tailwheel training. Cross channel checks/training is not a problem if you are in to that sort of thing.

Urban myth in Bracknell, Berkshire is that a German Messerschmitt crashed at Easthampstead during World War Two, but no-one has any details of the incident.

Does anyone have contact details for Napps Field? A trip to Billericay beckons!

You may recall I was asked a few weeks ago about the pros and cons of these strange flingwings without a visible means of support. (I jest)

I thought another stab at the forum crop growing thread might be of interest, so here goes.

Harvesting arable crops generally happens between mid July and the middle of September, but they all get planted at quite different times.

The only things left worth watching on the BBC are foreign buy-ins like The Last Wave - James Delingpole

This BBC Four fantasy drama has pretty French girls, surfing, superpowers and hardly any political correctness

Any comments about which is best for a Berlin proposed trip, EDAY Strausberg or EDAZ Schoenhagen, neither has any negative views that I can find!

Any reasonable offer for either item accepted.

I think this is a great idea for a 2019 sticky. Anyone agree? If it works we get to meet more people and fly in more types.
