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...

Hello everyone,

As a Master project of the Rijksuniversity Groningen in collaboration with the Netherlands Aviation Center (NLR) a study is conducted to learn more about the effect of aging on a cognitive task with different complexity levels....

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).

The second rejection was due...

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.

:thumright:

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...

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...

I'm trying out General Aviation now! Cessna 172 Skyhawk... and my first landings
I put about 3 hours in General Aviation about 15 months ago... and I decided to try it out again at the Kingston Flying Club with highly qualified FI, Kais ... Great...

It's out in the UK, but strangely in an edited form :?:

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:

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

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.

It's all happening in Jersey :roll:

First dodgy charter investigations and now this...

4 missed approaches at Republic and 2 at JFK, then ran out of fuel after 5 hours airborne. JFK weather was 1/8th mile in fog, sky obscured.

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

On start up, the above unit displays:

FLT ID PWR UP ENTRY “7000” OK?

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

Are there any schools using the PS28 cruiser for training? Looking around KENT, Sussex, Essex areas.

Firstly Hurrah, I've got my medical fully reinstated after a short illness.
Secondly, in going through this process I've had to learn how the system works - and the minor error / omissions that can cause it to fail - or be delayed.

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?!

Anyways, in a clearout I came across 10 Headset bags, literally never used aside from collecting the...

Yesterday at Pitt Meadows I met a chap from Somerset who is doing his seaplane rating with Vlad in the Cessna 180.
He did his PPL here in Canada, and now lives and works as a carpenter... But even this pays insufficient to buy a house and have a...

Organised by Heathrow Airport Airspace Performance Team

Representatives from CAA, NATS, Pilot Aware, Pooley’s and SkyDemon will be on hand to talk...

Closed three times today and the same again tomorrow with all movements stopped, hardly bodes well for the flying season.

Following the recent introduction of mandatory PPR I hope this is only a temporary blip in the future high standards that the...

Just after people's thoughts on the ups and downs of staying current on two types.

I came back to flying last year so think of myself as a new, low-houred PPL and very much am in terms of both competence and confidence. I have been flying a Robin...

If anyone knows of any shares please let me know.

Alternatively if anyone is interested in starting a group let me know too!

Sky news reporting that an Ethiopian Airlines 737 with 157 people on board, brand new to the fleet last November, has been lost. The Ethiopian government has already issued a message of condolence suggest there is little hope of survivors.

Looking at SkyDemon this morning there seems to be an airspace grab (Class D - 2,500' to FL65) from the Goodwood VOR (GWC) in to an extended area of Class D (Surface - 5,500') around Farnborough.

I wouldn't have noticed, but for the fact that when...

Any recommendations for actual jacket and a good supplier? I'm after something that will do the job if needed rather than acting as a comfort blanket. :D
