At its best, the Flyer Forum continues to be a valuable resource for the General Aviation community.

It is a place where flyers of all experience levels can meet to discuss and exchange up-to-date undistorted information, social plans, considered...

Overview
Since 2014 the UK has exempted any aircraft being flown within UK class D airspace at or below 3,000 feet above mean sea level from SERA.5001 (VMC visibility and...

EASA has just launched a project to try to address the perceived shortage of flight instructors. It strikes me that a good first step is to identify why pilots who might become instructors choose not to do so.

I'd be interested in any potential...

If you're taking CPL theory (and I think one or two are) and have yet to do flight planning then you may want to read this. I thought I was very well prepared for this exam and actually thought it was my best bet for getting 100% (or close) but you...

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

As a lover of F1 as well of aviation I was sad to hear of his death today.

This is the first of many good obituaries. He was a keen GA pilot (though his budget and aircraft choices were probably out of the reach of most) and his enjoyment of risk...

After just having my IR(R) application rejected by the CAA for the second time I have a query for you all...

Do you log flight time as decimal (a flight from 0900-1015 as 1.25 hours) or Hrs:Mins (same flight as 1:15).

Looking for a nice stop between Newquay and Caernarfon.

Out of West Wales, Swansea, and Haverfordwest I was leaning towards Haverfordwest as looking like the most welcoming for a landing and a cafe visit! Any other suggestions or ideas?

Not on SkyDemon but I know of it having seen an RV drop in when nearby; looking for contact details to humbly request PPR.

Looking at a stop for fuel and maybe a bite to eat if available, on the way from Laddingford to St Mary's. Which of these two airports would you recommend? I'm leaning towards Goodwood...

Overall, my plan is a night at St Mary's, 2 at Newquay, and...

Can anyone recommend a PC simulator that incorporates the newer fancy PBN GPS?

I expect I will have to replace my venerable 430 soon and I would like to be able to practice.

Good to see that Lasham have mounted a judicial review appeal re the Farnborough airspace kerfuffle.

Worth a donation I think.

There’s a place called Lamport, that’s west of Kettering. I can’t seem to find a nearby strip.

Any suggestions?

When Mode “S” was introduced I, like many others, had a choice between Garmin and Trig. I was replacing a Garmin327 so Garmin felt like the way to go. Back then the choice was 328 or 330 and all the advice was 330 was the future proof, if not more...

We went to see it at T' Bratfut Imax yesterday, it is just the Imax footage they show which chops it down from 1:30 to around 50 mins but it is still stunning.

Lots of great footage, some I...

It will be NOTAMed, but the airfield will be closed to visitors Monday 29th April through Thursday May 2nd

This is to allow for the extension to the main runway to facilitate the proposed A380 Cathay Pacific service to Swaffham.

Though I should share an experience last week where my Pilot Aware Rossetta averted a definite catastrophe.

It picked out head-on traffic same level that I had not seen, I could hardly believe the information presented on SKYDEMON, I immediately...

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?

Before I spend a lot of frustrating time trying to find the answer myself, does anyone know please the answer to the situation below?

I have just had my license reissued with my new address (that was a painful experience in itself) and realised...

Any forumite RV owners participating in this event?

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

Various friends in the sandpit have just been in touch, about a light aircraft incident in Dubai.

First reports are it was operated by a company I previously worked for, as well as Andy R and Dave P. Andy is on his way back from Portugal, so not...

Can anyone give me a contact phone no for the owner of G-BCWB please ?
If you know it please message me , do not publish it on the forum.
I have an address but I need to phone him.

Thanks

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...

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.

Hi all, I am looking for a PA28 (140, 160 or 180) to buy and base out of Blackpool; would also consider leasing off a private individual if this was an option. Looking for something in reasonable condition with maybe half life engine.

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

On start up, the above unit displays:

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

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...

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?!
