For Aero 2014 and 2015 (Germany) I got a load of A5 leaflets printed. One helpful exhibitor had some on his stand, and the show organisers kindly offered to spread some around their literature stands.

I have some left over and if anybody can think of a use for them, drop me an email and I will pop them in the mail

Also if anyone has any ideas on what else one could do, I am “all ears”.

Of course the main thing we need is more people posting generally (rather than just reading) and particularly more people starting threads.

What have you done with, or on your aircraft, this weekend? (April 13-14 2024)

Flew my TB20 to Sion for the last weekend of skiing of the season. Arrived at 18:50 UTC on Friday 12th with ten minutes left until the airport closed. They parked me in the normal Northern parking area after first asking me to go to Farner and even refuelled me before going to get passports stamped. Mine was the only plane there on the northern ramp on Friday night.

Returned today with a bit of a headwind sometimes close to 40 knots but still didn’t go much below 120 knot ground speed.

Out of interest I looked to see what price an EasyJet flight would have been from Geneva to Gatwick on either Saturday or Sunday and they were all full.

[Video[Nightmare Base training on A320

61905135 832128000498457 6817995836320907264 o

Hello,
I just came across an extraordinary video of the so-called mentour pilot about a story that took place in 2018 during an A320 base training in Talinn. I couldn’t just feel how the pilots was mentally “betrayed by their machine” at some point. I am talking of a serie of base trainings (4) conducted by a very experienced captain, a safety pilot and a CAA adviser (+ the trainees).
Here is the video (on facebook), it’s not published on YT (yet) but I thing that Petter (not ours but Mentour pilot) is making more money on FB.
A lot of technical insight in it, and probably a good one for ex- or current A320 pilots…

EASA IR VALID for N Reg Aircraft based in the UK

20200705029300507 Q2 Vision sf50 2 1920x732

I have recently revalidated my FAA PPL and IR and I am flying an N reg aircraft based in the UK and I am based in the UK. I am now completing training to gain a UK PPL. One I have the UK PPL, can I file and depart IFR from a UK airport for example into France? My understanding is that my FAA IR would certainly be valid at the FIR boundary onwards for example when flying to France (2 out of 3 rule) but the first portion of the flight would be in a grey area. Help appreciated.

Since we are getting (another) one of these in the “family” I thought it would be good to have a thread on the type.

I had not long ago watched an interesting two-part series by Skywagon University here

Excellent point although I am trying to work out how it helps the OP. His SR22 is probably N reg.

That’s about right, yes. Although Don Kaye to me seems like someone who doesn’t think they might not know everything. There are a couple of other posters that are much more credible sounding.

The airfield used to be very popular in the period between about 2005 and 2015. Here is a photo from the air, which shows the airfield and the town in the background.

If it’s anything like the Partenavia, the addition of the 2nd door would be a major improvement. You need to be a bit of a contortionist to get in and out of the left hand seat.

Don’t worry I just plan to triple my airtime, keeping fun flying at the same level. It requires diligent shifts planning and hoping the weather will cooperate during free time.

Had great hopes in the EFLEVA a few years ago… pretty much dissolved as is, pity 🤨
