They are quick to rob you of any money they can.

The ASIC cost me a mint, around $600, in fees for signatures as well as for the actual card.

Hi everyone,
For the last 10 years I’ve dreamt about a career in aviation. I would love to fly commercial and I’m finally in a financial position to afford the training. My question is am I too old at 38? I would have to qualify via the modular...

Any forumite RV owners participating in this event?

Be good to see a multi report thread for the various trips out. :thumleft:

If you know it please message me , do not publish it on the forum.

I need to collect our repaired Maule from Beccles this weekend, ideally Saturday. Milton Keynes to Beccles by public transport is about five hours so if anyone fancies doing a cost-share from pretty much any airfield roughly on a line between Milton...

I've recently communicated with a LAA member which has resulted in the CAA DTO Guidance being amended in the last few days. This means there's no need for Class Rating Instructors to remain outside the auspices of a Declared Training Organisation,...

Looks like we will not be allowed to continue being part of EASA, according to the political declaration agreed today. It may be moot as I doubt the deal will get through parliament.

I’ve Googled it, and I’ve read the manual, but I’m still no wiser.

On start up, the above unit displays:

FLT ID PWR UP ENTRY “7000” OK?

I’m confused. Should the Flight ID not be a Mode S code assigned to the aircraft? If I press ENTER, am I not...

Can this be done? How?

There's a massive hoo-haa going on about the leak from the National Security Agency that the UK will allow Huwawei to be involved in the building of the UK's 5G infrastructure.

Firstly Hurrah, I've got my medical fully reinstated after a short illness.
Secondly, in going through this process I've had to learn how the system works - and the minor error / omissions that can cause it to fail - or be delayed.

Suspect I'm going to get shot down in flames here - did the 'Buy and Sell' section disappear ages ago or am I imagining such a thing existed?!

It appears that Stapleford are angling after a GPS approach for Runway 21

Rather disturbed by the proposal, given they only grudgingly acknowledge the existence of North Weald in Appendix E - apart from that NW isn't mentioned once, nor even...

Hey all!

Have a slightly odd question. Would it be a problem if I went flying whilst the name on my pilots license does not match my passport? (DoB, address, place of birth all matches however) I had a name change recently and as I changed my...

The latest in my sporadic collection of video logs. This one tells the tale of an IFR flight on a bright but windy December day through the London TMA from Cambridge to Southampton.

I hope you enjoy it!

We know that London is cracking the vehicle emissions whip hard having seen the recent introduction of the ULEZ on the Congestion Charge area and knowing that the ULEZ will extend considerably in 2021.

Closed three times today and the same again tomorrow with all movements stopped, hardly bodes well for the flying season.

…deserving of a thread of its own.

Tesla shows $300m profit in quarter ending Sept. and shares jump 10%.

Yes, it is a dry, biased and, in my opinion, not very well written document but the implications of the CAA's stance are clear. If you want mandatory ADSB in all aircraft and in all airspace then just ignore and move on. If you want to help shape a...

So, should we compel children to have the jab because our social conscience says it's a good thing, or be libertarian and let them go to hell in a handcart?

Sky news reporting that an Ethiopian Airlines 737 with 157 people on board, brand new to the fleet last November, has been lost. The Ethiopian government has already issued a message of condolence suggest there is little hope of survivors.
