I run SD on a smartphone so can't use split screen...

Flew on an ATR72-600 from Guernsey to Gatwick yesterday, the last time I flew in a turboprop was in 1985 in an Shorts 330!
It was quite impressive, I ran Skydemon for interest and it was doing 280kts TAS in the cruise at 15,000 feet and 120 kts on...

What REALLY is the optimum technique for performing a go around in an SEP.

I renewed my IRR the other day, however whilst doing some practice with an IR holder in the right seat, I was told that my go around technique would not pass an IR test.

Just announced today; Peel are "holding a review" into closing Doncaster albeit after trousering stacks of public cash, building a business park, getting a road to the M18, etc.

In other words, it's toast, just like Sheffield before it....

Just started watching this. Anyone else? A bit hackneyed dialogue but will give it a go as only first episode.

Hi,

At my last Class 2 medical I had to have an ECG for the first time (the joys of getting older...). This threw up an "inverted T wave" and I had to go through a load of tests including an exercise ECG, 24-hour ECG and echocardiogram...

What might be seen as aspirational in view of the looming General Election (not political just a fact)

I searched for General Aviation without success. Aviation returns 29 results but nothing that specifically applies to our sector.
