Flyer Forum Code of Conduct

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...

Linked to my 'Round the Clock' post on the GA discussion I was just looking at the rather good Rapid Flight Guide that those nice chaps at the Pilot Warehouse produce. On the bottom of the front cover they have a picture of a threshold and the year...

Found this on the web , but only if your really bored !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Try it.

...that your getting nowhere? Last year I began my epic journey of piloting, only for it to be rather rapidly drawn to a grinding halt after 4 hours in the sky. I may become unpopular by saying that my parents are (or will be) paying for PPL...

In our en-suite bathroom for reasons best known to myself I have the Admiralty Chart for the IOW on the wall which makes for interesting perusal whilst having a wee.

My question is why are roads shown on these charts e.g the roads leading out of...

I'm looking for a simple utility to check the number of visitors etc to my website. Can anyone recommend a simple, free one?

TIA.

Am I the only one who finds the way that US magazines nag you to renew a subscription very early both annoying and counter-productive?

I've just received a renewal reminder from the Pipers Owner Society, saying ... it's time to renew your...

Went to my usual stockist today for a black cartridge for my Epson C64. The shelf price for the coloured ones was still £11.99, while the black one was now marked up to £24.99. Bought a cyan one at £11.99 and a black one at £24.99 and they both...

Jack wakes up at home with a huge hangover he can't believe. He forces himself to open his eyes, and the first thing he sees is a couple of aspirins next to a glass of water on the side table. And, next to them, a single red rose.

Jack sits...

It's me again. :D

Since setting up the new computer (which for the first time gives me CD/DVD writing facilities) I've been doing lots of reading and playing around. I have - to my amazement - discovered that CD and DVD's come in all sorts of...

I am one of the last of the dangerous and desperate bunch to be given amateur nutcase pilot licences under the old CAA system, but even we got clobbered by the five year re-issue blah. Imagine my pleasure on finding that I didn't just get a new...

I had occasion to call 999 on Tuesday.

I waited six and a half minutes for New Scotland Yard ( You are in a queue and will be answered shortly )

I am glad that I wasn't being attacked in my home by an armed burglar.

I've just found this facility that allows you to apply for a tax disc online. This should save me much time queuing up at the Post Office several times a year (taxing sundry old crocks & tractors etc).

I've just tried to apply for one though...

Bought a smart car for my other half last year (October) it is telling us (the smart bit) that it needs a service. The less than smart bit is that this is after just over 4000 miles - the service interval advertised for 'around town' driving is...

Installed new heatsink/fan to my computer today, zipped it back up and all of a sudden there's a constant noise coming out of the speakers (and tested with a pair of headphones). It sounds exactly like a heartbeat - is the only way to describe it...

I was sitting in the back of an EZY yesterday musing that passenger flying is ironically now safer than it was pre 9/11.

The reason is that the passengers and crew will now belief that not to take action against the hijackers is tantamount to...

Can anyone explain why Anita Newcourt (the Heathrow Royal Suite lady) can run around behind a 767 being pushed back wearing a very low viz faux fur?! Just seen her on BBC1. I believe she has a PPL so I'm amazed she hasn't got a Flyer high-viz !...

Is it possible to properly uninstall Paint on a Windows 2000 client?

In Win98 - it's in Add/Remove Programs. Ditto Windows XP. But not Windows 2000! :shock:

Driving away from Redhill tower this evening and around the taxiway to exit the airfield, the following thought went through my mind:

When driving your car on a taxiway, do you keep to the left of the yellow line, or do you taxi along it?...

See today on my AOL site-that they are offering a package for £7.99 a month-all uk local/national free. Looks pretty competitive but beleive 18866 still works out a bit cheaper for me taking account of calls to mobiles.

I am now in the third place this evening where I would normally expect 3G to work and it doesn't in any of them (I am talking Office and Home in Epsom, which might be on the same cell, and Bath wchich definitely isn't.)

Toying with the idea of getting a HPPL (as a helicopter is more glam and will attract more women - only joking).

Two questions.

1. Officially, does the PPL lesson the required training for an HPPL

So this is how they do it.

I am on the point of signing up with Bulldog for 4Mb ADSL at a cost of £30, including line rental.

As I pay £10.50 for line rental, plus £25 for my 512Kb ADSL it seems a good deal.

It's quite remarkable that they are still in contact with it.

I know that there are some gun buffs here, so I can I pose three unrelated questions that have given me pause for thought because of stuff I have read?

My current watch isn't very big, only has 1 dial, and no gold shiney bits, or a mini whizzwheel on the outside.

How disgraceful. Didn't someone realise that showing scenes of violence in a film aimed at children would result in an incident such as this? There should be an investigation. Someone should be held responsible!
