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

Jodel DR1050 recover in Diatex

This was a first for me, I had only repaired small bits of fabric before but this was on a big scale. Anyone who covered models with tissue and dope will be right at home. It was not at all hard and quite rewarding....

Hey,

Any thoughts on this... was poking about on flight radar and I spotted a caravan essentially flying around in circles for like 3 hours near blackpool.

Check out G-UKPA on flight radar at a flight this afternoon, apparently registered to a...

Absolutely bonkers. Shouldn’t Jon Snow be in an old folks home, clearly senile.

I was out and about today and heard a most unusual response from an ATSU to another aircraft...

"Cleared to cross Bristol controlled airspace, VFR, at altitude 4000', Bristol QNH 1015..."

Does any one know of a Float Plane school in the Three Rivers or Quebec City area?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Guys,

I am in the process of starting to find an aircraft share of a PA28 around the Buckinghamshire/surrounding counties - currently I rent, although this has served me well it doesn't bode well for touring if I want to have use the plane for...

Hi guys,

Can anybody here introduce me to one of the directors at Old Sarum please?
Thinking about doing an element in The Two Thousand Feet Podcast about the future of the airfield (such as it is).

Calling Old Sarum itself wasn't much joy, I'm...

Where are the places of choice to go flying from in Vegas these days? North Las Vegas? Henderson? Boulder City? Not looking to fly away hire, just go up with an instructor doing the hard stuff and signing the tech log.

Particularly interested in...

Like many of my generation of pilots I believe that “Rotate” belongs on transport and critical multi engine aeroplanes. It belonged on the early jets where an over rotation before a certain energy level meant that the jet engine was not able to...

Hello,

Does any of the panel know of a SEP for dry rent.

I need it for about 50 hours for a course but could be longer. I have a vague memory that someone in Redhill does this or did I imagine that?

What I like doing on holiday is renting an aircraft and instructor, and basically doing some flightseeing with me doing the flying and the instructor doing the boring bits (nav and radio).

La Réunion would appear to have a school/club at each of...

this just popped into my intray

Amazing what can be done with a positive attitude. :thumleft:

Well done Henry (and Dad). :D

With the addition of a 3rd runway, the existing combined runway utilisation of 97-99% would initially decrease to about 66%.

While non-commercial flights are currently prohibited, will there be case for this restriction to be relaxed particularly...

After 10 years of non flying, I am looking at coming back now I have hit the golden sixties :(

Looking into the possibilities, I am thinking the LAPL is more beneficial to me.....

Can anyone tell me what the skills test comprises of, and how much...

Can any forumite tell me please exactly where (Street Address) I can find the Cross-Channel Bleriot and the oldest Santos Dumont Demoiselle? I know about the SDD at le Bourget.
Merci

Not exactly clear in the blurb that this is not a Spitfire as most non- enthusiasts would understand.

Does anyone know if this strip still operational? I think the aviation-minded owners may have moved. 2017 google earth images still show a cut strip. Any info appreciated.

It seems Boeing are actually looking at even temporarily suspending production of the 737 Max - perhaps they are running out of space to park them?

See which says that Dennis Muilenburg hopes to have it back "in the air" by the end of...

Is there a place to find historic/expired Notams?

Hello everyone :)

I hoping someone might have faced a similar issue to me and have some information or guidance to help.

I had the dreaded initial class 1 medical assessment this morning and unfortunately failed on one item - my low frequency...

Looks like a great bit of news has come about through the efforts of the APPG on aviation. No more threats from neighbours who moved in after the airfield was in operation.

Sorry it's from the other mag but

A new Medium article on NOTAMs here:

The article generally relates to commercial ops, but there is certainly a relevance to GA.

Even though SD does a pretty good filtering job, I still get reminded 4 times by 4 different states not to take a...

Hi,

Does anyone know if the LAA classified ads are still viewable online to non-members? I'm weighing up various options around shares etc and just wanted to see what kind of thing was out there in "permit land".

Thanks,

This is an interesting news item: . The answer is an Australian called David Warren.

A friend wants to know how to get an Aerox Oxygen Cylinder re-filled.

I've hear of dive shops doing it - but they need a special adaptor.

1) Where can one get one of these adaptors?
2) where else can he get his cylinder refilled ? (He is based...

Morning all.

Has anyone heard any more no the proposed incoming Basic Instrument Rating? It all seems to have gone quiet.

All I can find on lie are dead ends from 2 years ago. Would anyone know if it's still happened?

My quote has just come in from Visicover. It is double last year .
Anyone else got a hike like that or recommend another insurer ?

At last, some good news.

There is another thread on this.

Anyone know if it's possible to fly in to the Old Buckenham airshow? The website suggests it's PPR for members only, but surely they are based there so why would they fly in!?

From the Mirror (note - contains photos of wreckage, and shows the registration):

Does anyone have any advice as to how best we should do this? A group of us had planned a Sherburn club fly out to Duxford for Saturday, the 3rd of August. Unfortunately, this is not now possible, as Duxford tell us they are going to be too busy...

When I learned to fly, they were flying schools - at least in the UK - but now, more and more often, I see them referred to as flight schools - both by the clients and the schools themselves.

Is it simply a creeping Americanisation of our language...

Hi

I'm flying to Northern Ireland on Thursday from England.
I'm aware that I need to file a GAR and inform the police in N.I. but do I need to file a flightplan please?

thanks

Ok so i have now decided to go ahead and start my LAPL training but just wandering if any of you fine guys would recommend obtaining my class 1 medical before parting with my hard earned money? Thanks Phil

Grateful to know (having been out of country for a while) if the mandatory requirements for UK to Le T are: flight plan, GAR inbound only, inform destination. Is that all? The Le T email address would be helpful if any one has it, many thanks in...

Not sure if this is old news or not but found it on the Europa Matronics site where Roland has kindly placed it.

I’ve had aeroplane shares for the last 10 years so haven’t had this question before, can hired club aircraft normally be flown to an unlicensed airfield?

I can’t ask the club because they’re closed for the next couple of days

Hi guys,
I wasn't sure if I should post this on the GA forum or student forum but as the student forum seems to be about flight training I thought I'd ask on the GA forum instead. Apologies if it's in the wrong place.

To keep it brief I was...

Getting news that a brand new in box Garmin 695 has been stolen.

It’s Serial number is 1H8006078

More as it comes in.

I see these are now STC’d for a range of common types, and would seem to be a sensible replacement for the draggy, amps-consuming, barely visible in daylight traditional red jam-jar atop the tail fin.

Any experiences, positive or negative, that...

Few details at this stage, but AAIB are attending:

BBC Look East breakfast show were reporting a light aircraft down near Corby yesterday afternoon. The pilot was taken to hospital with non life threatening leg injuries. Looks like a Midget Mustang from the pictures.

The front page of this document arrived in the post this week. I don't recall paying anything approaching €212 for terminal charges at Cannes or Carcassone in the past.... Anybody know what gives??
