Flyer Forum Code of Conduct

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...

Just something I thought I’d share..

I recently got some “true wireless earbuds”, the ones where you have one in each ear and absolutely no wires.

These are festooned with microphones, (2 on each apparently)

If you pop one in whilst flying, you...

Thread explaining why I moved the first thread into admin now moved into admin because it too got political.

Just got back from a bumpy but enjoyable flight around East Kent; played with a few clouds ( not too close of course) and practised stalls - all good fun and useful for sharpening up some rusty skills.

It didn't spoil my day, but, I was somewhat...

Hi all, I've been using a Nexus 7 2nd gen with Sky Demon for about 7 years now with no problems at all. This afternoon I went for a short bimble and realised when I swithced it on that I had obvoiusly not shut it down the last time I used it and the...

Can any of your great people recommend an online/cloud based logbook to use?
Thanks :thumleft:

The shareoplane (one that @Kanga knows well) doesn’t have a P1 seat that adjusts vertically. Consequently noises have been made about changing it.

A silly idea keeps coming to me.

Looking for ideas of where to fly to for lunch tomorrow - about 6-7 aircraft and 8-9 peeps.

About 1 hour from Waltham & some food available. (Accept we will probably have to sit outside).
Any suggestions or updates to the Who’s open thread?

Four of my UK-resident friends will need transport from Sardinia to Norfolk in early July. They don’t want a dodgy charter or a private jet, nor do they want to fly CAT.

Long shot, but if anyone on here is in a position to help or recommend...

Hi all,
I am looking at an old Auster V with the o-290 engine to possibly buy. I want to know how capable they are? I operate out of a small farm strip and wondered how quick they get off the ground and what they cruise at. Could they be compared to...

What are the best resources for training up on a g1000 PFD and MFD (will be in a DA42).
Looking for recommendations on online courses and also anything that can be hooked upto xplane - if the xplane g1000 is no good?

My first land away since being able to fly again.

Anyone else going to Old Warden tomorrow?

cheers

A friend asked me to go and test their new ADS-B on an LAA aircraft using my old PAW device. I fired it up, and after much messing around with new install and license key it started seeing 737s in the sky. However it saw NOTHING from his aircraft....

Hola (as they say in Mexico),

Yes, I DO realise this is a UK site but I think, from what I've seen written in the past, that one or two of the forumites may be instructors in Spain. If this is the case then I would really appreciate some...

Similar to the post from Morten recently, but for different reasons.

Living just west of the Queen, I get the same show from my balcony that she enjoys (though they don’t always have the smoke on for me).

Short version? The story was a...

Fingers crossed.

Eyewitnesses on social media have suggested no cars were hit and all those on board the aircraft have survived.

There has been a recent 'Virus' thread which has disappeared and I had posted to it. If my post(s?) contributed to it getting dropped, I'd like to say sorry. I've been enjoying my Flyer Forum and sometimes I 'share' too much. Please don't reply so...

Please don’t laugh at my newbie question.

Since I got my licence last year I’ve pretty much avoided large controlled air space and stuck to what I know.

Unfortunately due to ongoing aura-only migraines, I'm not medically fit to fly and had my medical revoked. After 18 months I'm coming to some acceptance that I'm in "workaround" territory rather than "fix" territory. If...
