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...

Keef quote:

Beryl recalls a recent competition. After she stapled a picture of the Queen's head to each of her entries she felt assured of a win. Would a knitted cover for the little john pull any weight?

Anyone have any experience of flying from Teesside in helicopters with PPL? Heard that two flying clubs taken over. Any reports on how the new club is going - how friendly are they towards new ppls?

i have another question for you helpful people:

Do Biggin allow ATZ transits (east to west & west to east). given that class A is 2500 and the atz is 600 a vfr transit would involve penetrating the atz. would be nice to route directly to...

Hello to all

The Flyer article on IR got me thinking. I have an IMC Rating but have not used it. I previously subscribed to the view that it's only there to get you out of a hole (or perhaps that should be to stop you getting into a hole (in the...

After the one a couple weeks ago, another one surfaces today. This time, a Virgin Airways Captain arrested in Washington for attempting to operate an aircraft under the influence of alcohol.

Must be the xmas season or something...

I can't remember this one being discussed previously. There must be a list of the necessary equipment required for IFR and airways flying. I bet it's not straightforward though. Anyone know?

In relation to another thread on the forms, I'd be interested in knowing which way people do orbit if they're told to. Do you orbit TOWARDS runway, or AWAY from it? What logic or reasoning do you give for your answer?

Just curious...

Last night I read an article in a not to be named flying magazine.

It was about ferrying a Cessna Caravan from Long Beach to New Zealand, which obviously involved massive stretches across the Pacific.

The article mentioned that the Ferry...

Firstly, a big thank you to all who answered my post last week about engine management on the PA28R and its potential complexities.

Saturday I took off from Stapleford in a club PA28 Arrow with my girlfriend and her Mother (for her 1st flight)....

ive been trying to obtain notams for 3 days now. the server keeps timing out. Has anyone been able to get notams recently?

I came across this site recently which I thought may appeal to some.

Provided you don't mind a FAA/IR it seems achievable in under 2 weeks. It is certainly much easier than probably the 6 months it will take for our own version. It's also...

Following a kind request by 3 old dears I am posting this one.

Where is it.

Buggered if I know...

From the Times today, and if you don't believe me look on page 4 under the very nice picture of Concorde.

A British Airways pilot is planning to fly the Ensligh Channel sitting in a rubber dinghy attached to 1,000 party balloons.

Well I...

My question is this:-

I am looking at purchasing a plane that is on a Private Cof A. My previous plane I converted onto Public without a problem (a PA28 variant) but there has not been one of these planes on the public cat before making it quite...

Hello Posters

Long time no post but been away.

Yesterday Mrs S and I had planned to go to the Scillies. The weather was not brilliant with some real rubbish around the Devon Cornwall area but the Scillies was ok with cloud at 4000 feet (BKN I...

Just started Nav theory - I was never any good at school with maths and I think it shows now, even though I work with statistics and data all day long!

Would anyone be able to offer some tuition on theory and wizwheelly stuff, as I would like to go...
