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.

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...

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.

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

ORS4 No.1416 is replaced by ORS4 No.1484

ORS4 No.1418 is replaced by ORS4 No.1485

Both apply until 31st July 2021.

Note that neither extend the validity period of pilot licence holder' class rating(s)!!

The longest trip thus far was Gloucester to Great Massingham and back. Skyecho up on the right hand side of the windscreen. Connection to Skydemon all good.

Not convinced the tartan wingtips will give any (flight) benefit and I'm also not convinced the Cessna 337 will deliver the stated cut in noise pollution with that engine configuration. IIRC the Skymaster was a noise brute.
