At its best, the Flyer Forum continues to be a valuable resource for the General Aviation community

It is a place where flyers of all experience levels can meet to discuss and exchange up-to-date undistorted...

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...

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,...

Wonder who the new Pope will be? As an atheist I don’t care that much but Francis was better than most.

It was a coincidence that Vance went to see him and he died the next day. But just in case we should send him to see Putin.

Hello people, does anyone out there know anything about this place? I live really close (relatively anyway) and would like to make contact with whoever owns/runs the place as my dream is to hangar there one day.
I'm sure some of you have this...

Right, so - my house here in Belgium is from the early 1950s.

Concrete was still a bit scarce after the war, so the ground floor at my place has half concrete floors & half wooden floors, latter supported by rafters (for lack of a better...

Hi all, after a bit of advice.

When I run Skydemon, my iPhone battery drains in a matter of a couple of hours. I’ve done all the usual things, such as turning down screen brightness, disabling apps from updating etc, but still the same.

Assuming that there's no useful vaccine, what's the exit strategy from this Covid mess for families, the economy, society, education, government... everything?

Last week I swallowed some plutonium.

It gave me atomic ache :oops:

We are in a village oil club.

I’m pretty sure others here are on oil, just thought I’d mention it, I’ve not seen oil that cheap...

Cambridge (x2)

Always gives me a buzz…. :wink:

Navigo is the App for buying Paris transport tickets. I was 'lucky' enough to find its bug. If you buy a day, week, month ticket in advance, you are given the usual sort of calendar to tap 'start date', which you can then check before pressing pay....

Anyone any experience of using these apparently handy and useful tools ?

Following on from comments on Val Kilmer obit thread & The Doors…

Which musicians/groups “seemed to be everywhere” but everyone has forgotten about.

I’ll start with Nana Mouskouri. Only cos I had no clue she was proficient in singing in German...

Well I did say i reserved the right to post in this forum!

The 21st century has caught up with rural Norfolk and now my 'landline' is no more. Everything come through the spiffy new router they sent me if you dial the 01842 number.

But

I have a...

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.

Our preference is for serial scandi noir - there was a thread in which The Valhalla...

So after a break of nearly a year I have found another Nissan leaf to soothe my needs to drive an EV.

But things have changed a bit on the charging front !

No longer does my Ecotricity electric highway card work in the machines at the motorway...

Another canal breach has occurred, this time on the Macclesfield Canal above Bosley Locks.

No work has been done towards repairing the massive breach on the Bridgewater Canal at Dunham Massey that failed in the early hours of New Year's day. The...

Two days earlier than last year. Always makes the hair on my neck stand up when they arrive and means I'll be less grumpy for a few months :D

No, not our Iceman.

Th'other one.

…except, there is this bloke on social media who is *absolutely killing it*.

I’ve no idea where he gets all the reels from, but every day there’s a few minutes of “blast from the past” which is utterly glorious for a British car & nostalgia...

Not my bag, but it occurs to me that

AV 18 TOR

Will be valid next year..... how much woul that be worth and is anyone tempted?

Does anyone know how to set Google Maps to track up? I can’t drive the other way!

Yes, if you’re reading past the first sentence or so - you ARE a window geek.

I’ve just arrived at an old townhouse hotel on Corstorphine Road in Edinburgh. Inbound is too late to go any further, so I always book a room in an old building with...

ESA’s Euclid space telescope spotted twenty six million galaxies in one week in a relatively small area the first survey of its data shows. Difficult to get one’s head around the magnitude of what’s out there and how utterly insignificant we are...

With the many police programmes being shown on TV it can't have missed your attention that the drink/drive limit is 35 micrograms per 100ml of breath, however there is a lower limit which applies if you are a pilot, an air traffic controller or a...

A while ago I splashed out £££ on Channel 4 Plus to get rid of the eeennnndddlllleeesss inane adverts on Walter Presents (I do enjoy his foreign crime dramas etc), but I don't think I have watched a _single_ episode of anything that doesn't start...

I have an old iPad mini with what seems to be a 7.9 inch screen measured down the centre of its longer dimension.

It stopped updating at iOS 15.8.3 . It’s not a major issue as dear old Tim still supports SkyDemon on it but other things are...

Many thanks to the long suffering admin team for speedy Spam elimination. I hope a prevention strategy rather than cure might be in the works?

Well I reserved the right to pop up here from time to time for advice. But in order that I am 'in credit' I'm passing on a wheeze I discovered elsewhere.

As you know, the evil Ms Reeves is now going to start charging we bastions of Greta's Green...

BBC reports a cargo vessel and an oil tanker have collided in the North Sea to the north east of Spurn Head.
Both vessels are on fire and a number of people have abandoned them.

For quite a while now we have been receiving junk phone calls, not from e-on (our provider), saying "your electricity meter life expired so please choose a date for a smart meter to replace it" (present meter is not smart). Today we...

After something like 22 years it ends, not with a flounce, not with a ban, but with a final post to sum up what has been a blast.

The FLYER List is probably unknown to the majority now active on here, but it was an email group of pilots back in...

I heard today that Jenni Morton passed away on 18 February.

Jenni loved aviation, caused occasional mayhem on these pages and attended and even organised quite a few Flyer gatherings in the early part of this century. She was one of those people...

Did a brief search but only found Milty to have posted a Christmas rhyme about it. ChatGPT is the most advanced ChatBot in the world, made by openAI - Anyway google or try it yourself and let it learn from your data and extract your soul...

I have some alarm cables within a long ceiling run in a corridor and looks as though rodents have bitten through.
Unfortunately the site is next to number of takeways with lax hygeine policies and also some communal rubbish bins.
I realise that the...

the first and last letters of the SEHT headset advert which appears as a strap up there ^^^^^ from time to time, and read it quite differently initially until the penny drops? :roll:

Tragic loss of life especially after all he's been through after last two years.

But are the Italians serious in thinking survivors may be alive in air pockets after over three days? :(

Is the concept of net zero now deader than the dodo ?

As above. Has the tech changed significantly?

My 10yr old McMurdo PLB is due a battery change, which will cost circa £140. Would I be better putting the money towards a new more advanced option, or is the tech still much of a muchness at this...

We have a client who is insisting on us having ISO9001 accreditation, we have managed for 30 years without it but then thats the way things are going now :(

I have been getting various 'consultants' (seem more like sharks) who wont give me a...

Just that really. When trying to type in MS Word I have a Copilot logo blinking at me all the time where I'm trying to type.

I'm in the process of selling my house and thought I'd better clean all the windows for the first time in about five years. Yes, I'm grubby...

I just need a simple and reliable account that I can...

My old one is struggling. (Windows 11)

What is the simplest and quickest way to transfer files to a new one?
I’ve seen some proprietary programmes claiming to do this, but always wary.
