A further consultation is taking place regarding the proposed Restricted Airspace request for Drone testing.

I personally do not agree with their application because West Wales already has designated dedicated drone testing areas operating from...

LOWER: Surface, UPPER: 12,000 Feet AMSL 10NM RADIUS

This seems a bit excessive, in terms of the 12 hours window and the 10nm radius.
Along with the...

The AAIB's 2023 Annual Safety Review generated some interesting (and worrying) takeaways .

Mark Greenfield pulled out six of the biggies for us…

.. today I cancelled my subscription to Apple TV at the end of the free trial, and before paying a penny.

We watched all of Ted Lasso (simply brilliant), one episode of Masters of the Air, the 100th BG documentary, a couple of indifferent movies...

I only got 13/20 :(

We have reason to visit Prestwick Airport in early May (a visit to Prestwick ATC centre). I've only ever been in once before, a few years ago. Pooleys states:

What is your opinion if push comes to shove ? Maybe just brinkmanship but it is looking mighty close. Should we, could we, as part of a joint effort, support the Ukraine militarily ? Or, will we be witness to an updated version of 1930s appeasement ?

I don't know what took me so long to post... Anyway, I'm 46 which is pretty ancient, but have always loved aviation, being a general geek ( :twisted: technology leader, prog rock fan). I lived abroad for a while in Israel which as you can imagine is...

I have no idea what needs to happen these days to get an account on the forum but isn't is anymore that people need to be approved by a mod?

This account seems to be having a jolly.

Hi all,

I need 2 weeks work experience for a nephew at an airfield or Camo.

Our Camo at Duxford can’t take him. They don’t do it.

He’d have gone to Rougham but Rougham has shut.

He’ll Polish Aircraft, sweep the floors, tidy, do anything you...

Seems like the Covid Wuhan Lab thing is kicking off so in an attempt not to derail the longstanding C19 thread with a sniff of politics here's a separate thread. Mods, if this is verboten, apologies.

I now have a student who is not native English and wanted to clarify what (and when) the testing of English capability needs to be done. Specifically,
i) can I send him/her solo without this? It would appear so.
ii) Is the timing for an English...

When I do my skills test, there's a limit to the amount of training I may have done with the examiner. I can't find this in EASA Easy Access Rules - can anyone tell me the maximum, or even better, point me to the relevant easy access page, please?

Had an uninvited fly by from an RV-7 this afternoon, 200ft above the chimney pots of our edge-of-town but most definitely built-up area.

I just don't get it, when you're so easily identified, visually, on radar, or on various apps (or maybe not as...

We're gradually uploading previous Lecomber columns from past issues, they're great content and brilliantly written, so well worth a read even if you caught them before, and a real treat if you are not familiar.

Might there be an accountancy type forum member who could help me understand the adding back in of a company car cost to a companies Corporation tax bill over a 4 year period after it has been written off in 1st year.

Preferably by PM.

Time is ticking, and I keep promising myself a solo trip to Scotland for a week. I’ve decided that the only way to get the weather and my work/family commitments to be less of an issue is to have a pre-planned route in SkyDemon, ready to activate...

Hi everyone,

My name is Josh, a software developer and pilot who has held a private pilots licence for 7 years. Over time, I've encountered the challenges of managing bookings and schedules within aircraft groups, which has inspired me to create...

I see Vans has filed for chapter 11 protection.

Well having scrapped our West Country escape, and looking at the forecast, I am guessing there will be lots of tele-watching in our house over the next two weeks.

Our preference is for serial scandi noir - there was a thread in which The Valhalla...

Some time ago there was an EASA land requirement to keep a Technical & Journey Log Book. I duly purchased one to keep in the aircraft and like everyone else in our group I diligently failed to ever make an entry.

Is this still a requirement...

Hopefully this will be a short thread....

Is there a catalogue/map of GA airfields or strips across the U.K.?

I see main airports and aerodromes on charts, but there’s loads of smaller strips that aren’t on there.

Tim has been updating SkyDemon’s heat map facility and sent me the attached prototype. He is still developing it, but I thought you’d like to see it. Didn’t think I had visited Compton Abbas quite that much.
