The Help and Advice forum has now existed with its current title for a little over six months. There is some fantastic help and advice given that really shows the collective knowledge of the forum and its members at its best. There do, however,...

For the benefit of those considering a PPL(A) and wanting to know time and cost, I’m sharing my experience based upon detailed records I kept. This is just my way through it, yours may differ, but I hope it gives you some insight and food for...

Welcome to the new Help and Advice forum. You'll probably spot that many of the posts were in Non-Aviation, and some may spot that the politically leaning threads are no more.

The Code of Conduct remains the same…

Be nice, considerate and...

There have been a few unacceptable posts of late. Please take a look at the Code of Conduct and post accordingly. Identifying individuals by anonymous is a BIG no no!

Be nice, considerate and polite.

I know i've read it here somewhere....but naturally now I can't find it.

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...

“After a solo flight away from base, it’s nice to meet up and have a chat over a cuppa.” ........at the land away airfield.

For a while I've been meaning to put together a little compilation of "stuff that helped" while I was learning to fly. I got around to it in the end (almost a year after getting the PPL...) and the result is now here(PDF) .

This sticky thread is here to point pilots towards a list of French customs airfields.

The list is here - designed to provide a good solid and reliable list.

You should use this list to help your initial planning, but then once you've decided...

We'll endeavour to sort the airfields in alphabetical order here with links to the thread in this forum. Click on the airfield name for information posted by other forumites about the airfield. Click on the country name for general information and...

Over the past few weeks there have been a few occasions where really old (>5 years) threads have been resurrected by posters - often by a reply to a previous post which was clearly very old.

Although there may be occasions where reviving an old...

There have been a few posts recently that suggest the forum PM function is not as easy to find as it might be, so - courtesy of Europaul383 - here's how.
Just now I looked in vain for a tab that says 'Send PM'...
This might help for next time......

Hi

Does anyone know of airfields/strips that have camping facilities ?

Cheers

As requested, a stuck thread with a link to the "new" drawback form:

A while ago we decided that we would no longer delete entire accounts. There are a couple of reasons for this…

- It causes some performance issues for the server
- It spoils many threads in which a poster has participated
- It is disrespectful to...

I firmly believe that we are seeing the beginning of a new era in GA regulation - there's never been a better time to make logical, well constructed points, and to influence the future of GA regulation in the UK. I have spoken to the CAA and have...

Just been flying again today - blissful! :D

One thing struck me, though, and that is how few people are stating the airfield where they are flying at both the beginning and the end of the transmission.

I'd estimate that fewer than 10% of the...

We are coming up to battery replacement on the RV and I just thought I would check the latest thinking here.

Do Gel batteries offer any benefits over conventional types?

Are equivalent batteries available from other suppliers without the...

In this post I will try and set out some, hopefully useful, information around medical certificates.

One of the more amusing consequences of a stretched global supply chain:

I must admit I've never seen the point of garden ornaments and put them in the same list as mimes as ripe for prompt action post revolution.

Has anybody here got an RV10, ideally with a nosewheel, who would be available for an offline chat? I'm trying to put some information together in aid of some modifications for a disabled person who I'm helping with the design of a planned build.

Anyone had to do this yet?

I have my identification verified by the CAA

I’m now allowed the “medical service”

I’ve registered with Cellma

However...

There’s no forms to fill in
No way to contact about this

I’m a bit baffled! :?

Not sure if this is a GDPR thing or not, but who defines what is & what isn't "legitimate interest" WRT cookies? Seems very one sided to me, and open to abuse by the likes of FaceBook, V Putin and others ...

If you have a cellular tablet but don't want to pay for a full contract for flying, it might be useful. You get a free sim and in exchange for registering you get 200mb per month free. Might be enough for weather and planning on SkyDemon.

M Fournier celebrated his 100th birthday yesterday (14 April) -- still going very strong. Plans for a Fournier fly-in and party were cancelled for the usual reason, but hopefully there will be a gathering next year.

Well having scrapped our West Country escape, and looking at the forecast, I am guessing there will be lots of tele-watching in our house over the next two weeks.

Who can raise a (legit) MOR? Perhaps everyone should be raising one every time they witness CAT breaking the law in such a dangerous way?
