Hi all

We'd like your help and suggestions with an initiative for 2022 which we're calling Fly2022: A Challenge for the FLYER community

The idea is simple: a target of flying time for 2022 of... 2022 minutes. That’s 33 hours 42 mins which is a...

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,...

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…

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!

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...

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) .

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 ?

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

Well today my Canon MG2950 stopped printing - Error 5B00. It is fully serviceable but seems to have printed the number of copies that Canon will allow; hence it has reached the end of the road. The problem is that the ink absorber was full (85%)...

..is a good one. But, in this case, the 'great landing', where you can use the aircraft again, doesn't apply:

"West Atlantic B734 at Exeter on Jan 19th 2021, hard touchdown"

Bit more than a 'touchdown'.

During the four week public beta of the site, could you post any snags in this thread please?

Thanks for your help

I have been unable to access the AOPA UK website for at least a week, belatedly renewing my annual subscription, and just today realised this happens only when at home through my Plusnet Broadband. It's fine using mobile data (also from Plusnet)....

Flying to Islands is one of the few opportunities to actually disprove the adage "Time to spare, go by air."

Today I went to the Isle of Wight.

Last week I went to Alderney.

Just ranting really.

What is your opinion if push comes to shove ? Maybe just brinkmanship but it is looking mighty close. Should we, could we, as part of a joint effort, support the Ukraine militarily ? Or, will we be witness to an updated version of 1930s appeasement ?

My crosswind landings have never been particulary tidy, mainly due to flying from places with multiple runways, though if I'm honest I do tend to choose days to fly that would not test me in this regards.

Just to cheer everyone up, there's something else to get hysterical about. How long before zoos are shamed into euthanising their cheeky chappies? :roll:
