After airlaw, what do people recommend as the next exam? I've heard both operational procedures or human factors.......but would be grateful for advice.

Hi all,

Last month I had the chance to go flying in the US for the first time, and I wrote a quick post about the process I had to go through to convert my EASA PPL to an FAA equivalent. Maybe it's of use to someone here!

There are a few...

I have been advised by my maintenance organisation that, as a result of the UK leaving EASA, the regime for our PA28 will need to change so that, effectively, an annual is required every 100 hours. We do about 180 - 200 hours a year, so I am...

Hello everyone,

I'm planning to purchase a plane (haven't decided yet if I'll be a single owner or group ownership) and I'm wondering if I can hire out my plane in future?

I.e can I advertise my plane online for private hire by other pilots and...

Can anyone recommend a company to have a logo - 30cmx30cm max that I can attach for a ceconite covered airframe? I assume the logo would need to be fairly flexible to allow for flex.

I understand hard surfaces allow continued use of an aerodrome in more weather conditions... wheels don't get stuck in the mud, propellers whip up less pebbles, and so on.

But roughly how much more would a hard surface cost to maintain compared to...
