I may just be unlucky, but the weather has been dreadful on many of my intended travel plan with the plane this year.
As I am home with another trip canceled, I have decided to start a new section on my logbook: the Non-Flying/Cancel flight time…
So far this year, estimated 15h travel canceled vs 16h actual travel flying… Getting dangerously close to the wrong balance…
They do the wind, cloudbase, etc, but temperature can be important for runway performance.
continuing on from another post. could anyone give ne an idea of the costs of fitting led lighting particuly the landing light and beacon on a cessna 150/172. the maintenance guys say its not cost effective
Moving back to the UK (London) area in about 6 months and I’m looking at what aircraft to purchase for my European flying. Most flights will be to South of France, Italy and the UK but looking to other European countries as well. Owned a turbo Mooney in the US and loved the ability to travel far and fast but some of the shortest runways were out of my comfort zone (or grass). I do not want an old twin and my budget won’t be enough for a recent one e.g. DA62 so I’m sticking with a single engine. I’d love to hear what your thoughts are.
As we have discussed in other threads, flying is not only a selfish satisfaction, but can also be socially fulfilling…
I usually avoid flying locally on WE since a nice day will draw hordes of… WE flyers, and the skies quickly become quite crowded.
Anyway, today’s general assembly day of our EAS, the weather’s good so quite a few will be flying in, and I’m looking forward being reunited with some good friends I haven’t seen since… last year’s GA 😆
From here I found the data interesting
I think this chart speaks as much about aircraft design as it does about utilization, both in quantity and type of use.
For example their all-weather travelling usage and difference in quantity of utilization may explain the PA-46 and P210 data, the DA-42’s predominant training use surely plays a role in those numbers…
If you share some data on other types you are interested in I can amend the spreadsheet to include them.
That’s what “everybody” believed before Ukraine. The past 2 years has showed this to be wrong. Except perhaps nukes, the Russian armed forces has nothing that can penetrate modern NATO forces. The…
I don’t think this is exactly correct. If you look at times and temperatures as well as other data in forecast, you can get an idea or an estimate how the temperature will change during the period.
Your photo at Pontarlier brought a smile to my face. I was parked at that very spot many years ago after diverting due to weather.
I have now ordered the Aero-Lites:
AL-3615X-S-PA ULTRA X Series – PAR36 LED Landing / Spot Beam (5,100lm) = 165.- USD
AL-3615X-F ULTRA X Series – PAR36 LED Taxi / Flood Beam (5,100lm) = 155.- USD

The maps shows 1500ft, but they extend it by notam? I am pretty sure I would have missed that in flight planning…
For…
That’s exactly what it means. Just came back from a fly-in at ENBN (where we, about 30 aircraft leaving at the same time, completely swamped the poor AFIS lady customed to two Widerøe flights each…
They absolutely do not. How do I know? Had my audiogram yesterday.
The functional hearing test is additional to the audiogram if the audiogram is failed.
Yes another topic but I don’t think your A…
