This is one for the medics here. I'm in no way being critical and am largely just curious.....

As I understand it (and I could be wrong @kanga will be along soon to give the background (please!)) the title "Doctor" is applied to the...

I see that FlyBe seems to have recognised the inevitable and put itself up for sale:

It will be interesting to follow what happens. FlyBe is the latest incarnation in a long airline history and it would be a shame to see the old...

Hi all,

I'm about to start training for my PPL later this month but I've ran into a bit of a stumbling block before I've even started.

I was looking at the Class 2 Medical requirements and everything looks fine, but I went to my optician to check...

Well, do commercial airliners carry paper charts?

Hi everyone

If budget, or acceptance, wasn’t an issue, where would your top 3, or 5, places be to do your EASA ATPL training?

I do note that some places like L3 appear to have US training facilities as well as NZ etc

But if you had your choice,...

Unless I'm mistaken, a lot of the online questions banks and even the training materials for the CB IR (I am using CATS for example) now don't marry up with the new issue of the the Jeppessen charts provided in the student manual.

Is there any way...

Contemplating selling this and moving to the 540. It came to me direct from Avidyne in late November, and still therefore has almost all the warranty remaining. Only has about 1.5 hours flight time on it, and would come with original packaging, a...

Very sad to see the demise of another rare aircraft.. was kept very quiet - for some reason the pilot was reluctant to report the accident.. was for sale (or just sold) by AT Aviation Dunkeswell..

Glad pilot was not injured..

We upgraded from ADSL to FTTC a while ago and have been using the supplied PlusNet router (sadly the one that @stevelup kindly donated doesn't work with fibre). I have intermittent problems with wifi reception particularly at the front of the house...

Hi all,

My GNS530w decided it no longer wants to receive comms. Can anyone recommend and avionics shop/bod localish to the Bath/Kemle/Swindon/Gloucester area? the unit is in an N reg if that makes any difference.

Thanks in Advanced.

500hr mag check required on my Conti IO-520.. Duly sent my mags to QAA in the USA for overhaul..

A week later and over a couple of thousand dollars later they arrive and are fitted. During test flight rough running engine and then during mag test...

There's some nice flying shots and editing in this YouTube video. I also learned that Heli Hog Hunting is a thing in the US (I searched YouTube for that too, but can't say that I enjoyed the results).

Flew past Cardington today and saw a big roundey thing outside, :shock:

This 71 year old fella just got for two and a half years and for the life of me I can't see why. I'd wager that 90% of people in prisons are there for pointless Victorian style retribution, not discouragement of others or rehabilitation.

I’m wondering if there is anyone who,could give me a bit of advice. I was about to do my QXC and then flight test last yearwhen the school closed down. I subsequently moved to another school locally and carried out a couple of familiarisation...

This thread celebrates any noteworthy milestones along the path of your aviation career - whether that be private or commercial - to be cast into internet eternity forever more. I look forward to updating this thread regularly.

As and when...

Having been out of flying for quite a while I,m currently building a Kit Plane. I gather that a suitable I-pad can become an EFIS, does it need any extra inputs ??? and what the best model I-pad and external feed system ?

Lots of aircraft diverting all over the place. I do wonder where this one is going and whether protestors really understand the risk of this type of disruption?

Here's the link

We fly a group owned Eurostar EV97A which was built from kit as a Group A aircraft. A new member wishes to join the group who has an NPPL(M) and has around 700 hours on an EV97 which is a microlight and the only difference to the A version is that...

Anyone with experience of flying int Nottingham at night? AIP states it has PAPI but only low intensity edge lights and nothing else.

More lazy article creation!

The aircraft pictured is an Airbus A319, it even states that on the side of the fuselage, but the article is about a Embraer 145, which looks nothing like the Airbus.

Maybe journalist think all aircraft look the same...

Sounds like a tragic end to a continental trip

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

But things have changed a bit on the charging front !

No longer does my Ecotricity electric highway card work in the machines at the motorway...

My dear old Peltors are about to give up the ghost. The SEHT's look good value; has anyone used them?

My Bose ANR has stopped working on one earpiece to be replaced by crackling and clicking.

Anyone got any advice regarding getting it mended - straight to Bose or a 3rd party headset repairer ?

I tried contacting Bose via their website but so far...

BBC7 just broadcasting an episode of this about flying. Very good. It will be repeated later today (2100 if my arithmetic based on the Radio Times listing is correct) and I guess available for download if you don't mind the BBC Sounds registration...

Hya. Does anyone know of any aviation audiobooks, primarily based educationally and on flying theory, so particularly for students I guess. Also with regard to gliding, for those looking to get into the sport?

Very sad news.

For an inside look at what it was like flying into Cannes last week, here is my latest video.

... due drone sighting.

Chapeau to the pilot

Sorry about the headline Rob L.

Good afternoon aviators,

Might seem a silly question but after scouring google I can't seem to find an answer. When flying a star, for example the Jersey 2B, is it possible to join the star and fly the arrival after the starting waypoint? The...

Just thought we would set up an aircraft specific Facebook page for the Europa Aircraft. Its there to keep pilots and enthusiasts of the Europa Aircraft connected sharing build issues, events, social , videos and photos .

Largest Freight terminal in Europe ?

At the very least some one is having a go at getting a 3rd Hard runway in one of the largest Counties in UK - KENT .

Can anyone clarify the advantages (if any) of choosing Passenger Voluntary Settlement cover option in an aircraft insurance policy when the policy already has third party and passenger liability cover?

A chap I’ve met is planning to renew his old flex wing microlight rating. He last flew in the ‘80’s/ early ‘90’s thus his licence is an old valid-for-life poo brown UK PPL(A) containing just a group D (microlights) rating.

He’s well aware and happy...

...that three threads have been locked today and I’ve not been responsible for any of them. I’m really rather chuffed.

Just saying...

PS It’s all rather vegan here these days isn’t it?! :pig:

What is the collective take on whether the new .uk (as opposed to .co.uk) will become the New Normal?

I have a few .co.uk domains and I understand that I can also have the .uk versions so long as I register them before 25th June 2019.

Have to say...

Had a couple of occasions where people's rating are coming back only days before their temporary certificate expired. I'm also aware of an examiner who lost his privileges for a few days because of delayed CAA processing times.

Now in the grounds...

My advice has just been asked by a former student of mine, who has just got a job teaching aeronautical engineering at a University in Belfast.

He's asked if I can suggest where he can take his students to expose them to some quality time around...

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...

Ive been reading alot about ww2 aircraft recently and i find it interesting that the spitfire couldnt keep up with its german counterparts in a dive ie me109 and fw190. The german aircraft as far as i know didnt have a typical constant speed unit...
