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...

Looks like Mike Patey and Draco have come unstuck, he's found he can't get insurance for any public appearances, including things like Reno, Oshkosh and STOL events.

Loss of DRACO. Sad week and loss for Draco, myself and friends. No, Draco has not...

Does anyone know where to get a Clarity Aloft headset repaired - Ideally without sending it back to the USA?

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...

our continuously amended plans for France trip next week looks like it will now include s nights at La Rochelle for the trusty steed
anyone any idea of the lively parking cost?
cheers :)

Hi all,

Firstly, sorry if this is in the wrong place, wasn't sure where to post it.

Secondly, I have a Bose Aviation X with a broken ear fork - at least I think that's what it's called - it's the bit the holds the ear cup in place and attaches to...

A bit of a spat here in Norfolk

There will be obstructions on the centre section of 24/06 until January 25th as essential repairs are carried out.

Rotary traffic not affected.

I can't recall the eventual conclusion of the Forum on equal share from the pilot or just a couple of quid. But if it is equal shares, then it is pretty pricey operating a PA28 from Cranfield. :shock:

I would be grateful to know which company people owning N reg aircraft use to manage the trust that is required to hold the US entity ownership, or if there is a simpler way of complying with this requirement.

Any information on costs and service...

After a lot of thought I have decided to boycott Barton - this will be the one airfield that I will not give my business to.

Why?

I have listened to those that say there is no good reason why Barton should explain themselves here, or on social...

G-TEKV,, Lydd to Lydd, with a 1177 London Info squawk at time 00:02. What's this then and what's it doing ?

Put quite simply - what is the real agenda at Biggin Hill for GA.

Hello,

As we return to normal routines after Christmas and New Year, there is some reasonable weather to be found for flying this weekend (wish I could get up there, but need those bronze points! :) )

I’ve announced a new Aviation Weather School...

Hi all,

I'm an FAA PPL holder converting to EASA this Sunday. After Converting, i was thinking about getting a share in a plane to help keep costs under control.

I plan on flying at least twice a month from Booker (EGTB) for a couple of hours so...

My insurer has left it to the last day to respond to my querying of the new quote, which is up £300 from last year: no claims, no changes and a 100hrs+ better at flying :roll: out of principal, I'm shifting provider.

thanks (if permitted)

I think this has been discussed before , but cannot find the thread.

I have looked in MATS Pt 1 page 1-31 for the answer but I am unclear what the difference may be for a Police Category A flight in controlled airspace with ATC and the same flight...

About an hour ago, the Oban Airport Facebook page posted that there will be no Avgas until further notice. The comments suggest that this is due to Paul’s retirement, but basically if you are going to Oban or Glenforsa you probably want to phone...

For the first time since flying I'm due to share a flight with another pilot (not instructor). But it occurred to me this morning when does a pilot log P1 or P2 in their logbooks on a shared flight.

What is the normal etiquette of a shared flight?

With a weeks notice of subscription based pricing my group is looking to move away (not so much because of the subscription, we used to subscribe to another service before goboko, but the seeming lack of notice)

What are other people going to do?

Is this dream or will it really happen in the timescale suggested.

I've just found out that Alan Walker passed away on January 3, he was known on here as Chiltern Aviator.

RIP Alan, thanks for all of your help

Google suggested this article and I thought I'd share it with you all. Safe flying!

I'm pretty certain that any of us who have visited and/or flown in hot-desert regions have seen dust devils. I'm pretty certain that as pilots we took one look and said to ourselves "that looks nasty, I won't fly through it".

But has...

Despite at least one high-profile accident and an increase in flights, it's good to hear that comimnercial aviation's safety record is improving.

Hi,

Has anyone any experience of the various "Fly in a Spitfire" experiences readily available from various places now? Many advertise some stick time, does anyone know which outfits use instructors and therefore may allow the punter to...

I haven't seen any mention yet on the forum itself, but Giles has been many months in the prep for this run to Cape Town from his strip in East Anglia - he's routing down the right hand (as we navigators call the East) side of Africa, he's been in...

Any comments from anyone who has transferred PPL from UK to France? No, not me, but am meeting up with a pilot next week who uses me for revals on his UK PPL-SEP and he will probably want to 'soli-off' to get a French PPL this year just in case of...

Just started on Talking Pictures TV.

Sorry, but this is on Facebook.....

I hope the thread and comments show up here as there’s an interesting debate about the future of air travel and relative energy densities of jet A1 and hydrogen.

Will this ever happen?

I have a KFC150 auto-pilot in the TB20 which does full coupled approaches down to minimums when flying an ILS. On an LPV approach, however, the auto-pilot intercepts inbound track ok but won't intercept the glide slope. The aircraft has an Avidyne...

Hi all,

About 6 weeks ago, and two days before my class 2 medical I was knocked off my bike. Thankfully aside from some cuts and bruises the only things broken were the bike and the knuckle on my little finger.

At the medical my AME said that the...

Hi guys, so I've had my SEP now for just over 2 years and fly once or twice a month in the good old PA38 Tomahawk, I was wondering what to do first, the night rating or IR restricted. The chances of flying at night are not very high but is it a good...

I seem to recall you can only have one medical class at a time - is this correct?

Fascinating (or so I think) article about recommissioning a B-52 that had been in the desert for ten years. Link below it to the accident that generated the requirement.
