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...

If you would like to display a picture of the aircraft you fly/own/share/love, then this is the place for it.

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...

Should you wish to post a link to a survey, academic or otherwise, please could we request that you get in touch with a member of the admin team first? Generally there will be no problem with these - though you may find the regulars can be a tough...

Following on from another thread I was thinking, what do people do to try and stop themselves from becoming a statistic.

None of us are infallible - being imperfect myself I am very much aware of that.

OK, who was it who at about 1015 yesterday on Brize (or possibly East Midlands - can’t remember) replied to 'Squawk conspicuity' with 'Squawk promiscuity'?

Nearly made me spill my coffee.

Bet it was someone in here...

I must admit I am jealous

A slight oddity is that according to ADSB-Ex he's wearing a Brize squawk. Ignore - Norwich use the same sequence.

Is this sign legally enforceable, i.e. if I happened to pass though one in an HGV can I be prosecuted and if so under what piece of legislation.

Finally got a haircut at 0815 this morning. I think this was the first since about October as I cocked up getting to the barber before Christmas. How often do folk normally visit a barber?

So i have 3 lessons booked next week, hoping the weather plays ball for at least one of them.

when i booked i was feeling confident, even though I haven't flown for 3 months, no that its next week a wave of nervousness is currently washing over me....

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.

As we become more relaxed, can we revisit who is open and when please.

A reliable source has told me that the strip will not be maintained this year by the farmer unless the pub is reopened. A great shame let’s hope someone sees the opportunity.A great favourite of mine!

As previously postponed from last week (see other thread), FLYER.co.uk will be offline for a short period whilst some maintenance work is undertaken, from approximately 2100hrs this evening (8 March).

I know 'it's only 164 metres', but this is going to extend the centrelines and therefore the CTA and make it even more likely to accidently infringe with the current squeeze on airspace, isn't it?

Pin out, throw grenade, wait for the bang....

I began my tailwheel conversion training at Little Gransden on Saturday in a Cessna 140. I am absolutely, totally smitten; loved every minute of it. It took a while to get used to a totally different aircraft, and there were a few bouncy landings,...
