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...

My aircraft was featured in Flyer Mag in 2007 with a number of pictures, how can I get a copy of these pics ?

Stop smirking at the back, it's nothing like that.

It's a bunch of American ferry pilots, most of whom I would never tire of hitting in the face with a golf club (especially the narrator) but I find myself addicted.

...and everyone is flying off to various airfields again, what will happen?

More airspace busts?
More currency related pilot incidents?
More engine/airframe related incidents?
Will the skies be quieter due to a vast number of lapsed medicals,...

Does this start at 11 pm this year ?

:thumright: :thumleft:

:cheers: :cheers:

Off to Bed.

And they flew it out :shock: :shock:.

As a friend said on FB, I think my FSDO would have a heart attack !

First of all..... Didn’t that come round quick?!!!!!

Secondly.... Jeeziz ain’t that shot up?!!!!!!!! :shock:

Departure from my fave online insurer this year I’m afraid :(

I've always been a big fan of Avweb's Paul Bertorelli. His latest New Year video offering provides timely advice how not be an a$$hole in the circuit.

I think there may even be a cameo from our very own @G-BLEW at 06:55. It certainly sounds like...

Our EV97A Eurostar has been emitting ADS-B Out for a couple of years using an unapproved GPS source, via an RS232 connection to a PilotAware Classic unit with external antennae. To accomplish this our 2011 Becker BXP6401 Mode S ES transponder had to...

I wonder when they start passenger services :D ?

Does anyone have, or know where I might find, a photograph and/or three view drawing of this obscure, homebuilt three axis microlight which crashed, killing its pilot/designer/builder, near Camber on 14 August 1982? I have a copy of the AAIB report...

On New Year’s Eve two aircraft departed Clench Common and flew to Dunkeswell in formation at 3000’ approx. Both aircraft had Pilotaware and ADSB out (one 17 & one 18), which allows the flights to be replayed on Aircrew.co.uk ground station...

Does anyone know if the TN 72 qualifies for the CAA EC rebate scheme. I am thinking of fitting one to a new build to give ADSB out via the trig transponder I have already bought.

Thanks

Pete

I hold two PPL licences both issued by the CAA .....a EU Flight Crew Licence issued in accordance with Part FCL and a UK Private Pilots Licence (Aeroplanes). Like many of us I ticked the box to retain the latter when I applied for the former in...

Join us at 19:30 for half an hour of GA news and views, and hopefully a laugh or two too.

Tonight we'll have updates on the latest lockdowns, GA Brexit changes (worry not, NO POLITICS ), the latest on Cardiff's overnight airspace challenges and...

Hi All,

I have an option on an old mobility scooter - and have been wondering for a while about whether it could be used as an aircraft tug. Anyone any experience?

The other option is an electric pallet truck - again, has anyone tried this?

Happy...

Urban myth in Bracknell, Berkshire is that a German Messerschmitt crashed at Easthampstead during World War Two, but no-one has any details of the incident.

I am aware of the Junker bomber which dropped a stick of bombs down the main drive of...

I'm still not sure. Answers on a postcard please...

Does anyone know if the CAA intends to consolidate ORS exemption now that we have left EASA?

For example, ORS4 1421 allows the use of PDM to fly previously defined EASA G Reg aircraft (now Part 21 aircraft) until the end of Mach 2021 with certain...

Hi, so I'm currently looking at buying a new headset. I'm looking at the Lightspeed Zulu 3 over the Bose A20 as it's a bit cheaper and from a few reviews seems better value.

Currently have the DC H10-60 just wondering if anyone has had both and is...

Apologies for starting another EC question - maybe it needs its own forum now :D

We have a bendix king kt74 fitted in our RV. We are getting a paw for ADSB IN and PAW/FLARM.

But I notice that the PAW can also be used as a position source via an...

Here we are again, this time probably until early March, by all accounts.

Is there any chance of the exemption we had last year for engine health? Seems that each of the lockdowns has different rules, and lessons learned from one aren't carried...

Does anyone know whether there is an android app that will use the internal barometer in some smartphones (or combine with GPS) to alert when reaching a planned altitude?

Not to be relied upon, but with sufficient buffer could be a good backup...

This is a test of my electronic conspicuity installation
I have been using the classic version of pilot aware for 5 years now and have found it to be an excellent aid to my visual look out. However, as I don’t have a transponder I have taken...

During this Lockdown 2 re reading 'Be A Better Pilot' by Alan Bramson', in a section on power checks and specifically mag checks, this got my attention.
"You are not looking for an RPM drop at this stage (although many pilots mistakenly do) but...

Very many congratulations and well deserved.

Genuine question, as I can’t work it out from the gov.uk GA page:

Is ground training for private flying 'flying training' and hence not permitted in Tier 4?

Specifically, thinking of the test for a standalone FRTOL (for gliding).

My guess is no...

Hi! I`m here again with another weird question, I`m just going through a few questions on Navigation, I`m stuck on this question which I think is wrong. Here goes: What is your magnetic heading given, a true heading of 222*, variation of 20*E, and a...

This came up on my Facebook feed this morning...

Not sure what happens to the Ockham VOR (even if it is being removed under the VOR rationalisation project, I was under the impression that generally the DMEs are being retained). Or what happens...

An update on my last video. For those who stick with it until the end, I promise sun, sea, sand and aviation!

Grrrrrr

Ian

.. not on the runway nor remaining active taxiway, I hope :roll:

I have seen postings about people having to return the unit and have a fresh one re-sent due to technical reasons of connection problems. I believe I may have found the answer and saved us all time and issues.

Having ordered and received the...

So if we fly direct to this British Overseas Territory... How does that work?

Yes I know that's beyond my range, but there are others who can.

Hardly a major issue at the moment but with messages in the media stating that duty free is going to disappear from airports, together with the VAT-exemption for non-UK travellers from items bought in the UK, does anyone know the position on Fuel...

Hi all,
Happy New Year from Jersey Aero Club!
I know there have been a number of questions about how JAC are doing, so I wanted to provide a brief update (having taken on the role of Chairman)
2020 has been a difficult year with the subsidiary...

CAA have issued a general permission ORS4 number 1457 which allows G-registered aircraft that operate on the basis of an EASA Permit to Fly to continue to operate within UK airspace until the end of 2022 .

Discussion with CAA about travel and...

I know it's Wednesday rather than the usual Thursday, but we're running through our review of the year tonight for our weekly Livestream.

Looking at all of the positives from 2020, it should tale about five minutes!

Join us at 19:30 on our...

For services to aerobatics and to charity.

Just seen the latest post on the flyer facebook page, which reads like a bad Chinese to English translation.... was someone on the mulled wine a little too much when they wrote this?? :lol: :lol:

As 2020 begins to retreat, we want YOU to join us...

Can some one explain what is and what is not a Part 21Aircraft.

And what I cannot fly After 45 years or so Holding a UK issued ATPL with valid SEP or MEP ratings for the purposes of private flying ?

Huge congratulations to Kim Lewington MBE for her fly2help charity work, and to Pete Stratten MBE, CEO at the BGA.

Very well deserved!

Ian

Highest recorded surface air pressure .

Very negative density altitude.

I recently moved to London from Norway, and I am having a hard time finding flying clubs or other places to hire a SEP with a G1000 or equivalent in the greater London area. I am a little picky with what I fly, and will not touch anything older than...

Last night, our club took delivery of our Pipistrel Velis: the first EASA type certified electric aircraft. I believe ours was the second one delivered; the first went to Switzerland. Our school's CFI and one of its FI were trained and certified in...
