Now we are to be on reserve on layovers: stay in your room, able to leave at a moments notice, unable to plan anything. They can just get f**ked ..read more

A fascinating read charting a path through the U.K. history of nuclear incidents and accidents, to much to post here, fascinating read… Having done SST standby with normally about a dozen of us on call I find it rather amusing when they talk about the requirement to set up a 5 to 6 mile initial cordon around an incident involving a leak or fire.. https://www.nuclearinfo.org/wp-conte...port-FINAL.pdf ..read more

Evening all, Long time lurking, infrequent poster here. I’m in the incredibly fortunate position to be a Train Driver here in the UK for a long distance, high speed Train Operating Company, which (despite what the Daily Fail like to promote), is a fantastically lucrative role for both work-life balance, and for the wage slip each month. Each night I get to go home, see my wife, attend parties (most of the time) and the railway provides a lifestyle that we sadly all know aviation definitely does not. However… The goal, dream, ambition, call it what you will, is to fly commercially. How can ..read more

Ciao a tutti Sono un giovane studente pilota che si appresta a finire il corso Atpl. Alla fine del corso prenderò parte ad un colloquio per iniziare il type rating e la carriera con una nota compagnia europea, come sottoscritto dal mio programma di addestramento. Vista la natura non vincolante del mio contratto di apprendimento vorrei considerare tutte le opportunità lavorative che permettono ad un detentore di licenza Atpl frozen di iniziare la sua carriera di pilota. Tendendo ad escludere Ita airways le compagnie più propense all assunzione sono le più note compagnie low cost, ma essendo la ..read more

Hello, Does anyone have information regarding flight time requirements for cadet level FO, overall situation and pilot assessment? I also notice that some aircrafts are sometimes based in TLV. Is that a semi crew base? Thanks in advance ..read more

Please accept my apologies if this post is misplaced within the forum, as I am uncertain of the appropriate subforum for this inquiry. I am a 17-year-old aspiring pilot who is about to embark on the exciting journey of studying modular aviation. As I begin my preparations, I find myself facing a dilemma regarding the selection of the most suitable medical class. With limited financial resources at my disposal, I am seeking guidance from the experienced members of this esteemed community. My primary concern lies in determining whether I should pursue a Class 1, Class 2, or Class 3 medical exam ..read more

Some of these do make at least a little sense, e.g. ROSUN = Rossendale, SANBA = Sandbach, BATLI = Batley. I understand GASKO is named for the hamlet of Gammersgill in Coverdale. But others such as KUXEM are a mystery to me. Is there a computer program that generates random but pronounceable five letter groups or are people actually paid to make them up ? Thankyou ..read more

Hi, I have several questions on how to fill the 8710-1 form. 1 What about non ICAO certified light aircraft ? Does an uncertified three axis light airplane with 450kg MTOW count as airplane time? Does an uncertified gyroplane with 450kg MTOW count as gyroplane time? 2 Is time with an European Touring Motor Glider TMG (a self launching glider with a non retractable propeller, such as the Scheibe Falke 25 or Slingsby) glider time or airplane time? I could not find the answer anywhere. Thank you ..read more
