@aileron.abi Also note that some of the info from 2015 wrt licencing and medicals is no longer correct following changes to the rules and Brexit. Regards, SD.. Statistics: Posted by skydriller — Tue Nov 12, 2024 03:16 ..read more

Well done on Nav pass. Met is straightforward if you remember the difference in weather in a trough in winter vs summer (unlike me ) I found the Pooley's exam booklet for Met really useful as a supplement to EasyPPLGroundschool. Get yourself on a live course for FRTOL, with calls exchanged with tutor then just practice writing a full set of calls for any journey, then practice just saying them all. Most, as you know, are very formulaic. Remind yourself of the random words you may need as well. I still find it takes willpower to say Affirm rather than Yes!

Gah. Feels like we've been under a blanket of cloud for weeks on end now, so needless to say I've lost a load of lessons. But par for the course with the UK I guess. At least the tarmac runways at Leicester should see me right when it does finally lift. I got my Nav exam boxed off today (91%, bit gutted to have dropped a mark!). Nav was definitely one of the trickier topics...and again I was very surprised by some of the exam content today...2 of the 12 questions on TVMDC, but nothing involving the altimeter/pressure... In the meantime I've made a good start on the Pooleys book and EasyPPL c ..read more

17 years on the Lakenheath-Mildenhall-Honington CMATZ, having dumped Honington years ago is still controlled by Lakenheath alone but they will still tell you if asked of any NOTAMed activity at Honington like RAF Gliding.. Statistics: Posted by PeteSpencer — Wed Nov 06, 2024 19:22 ..read more

Are there any instructors in the North who do Cirrus transition training? There used to be a few SR20s based there but struggling to find out who did the training? Statistics: Posted by vmc-on-top — Sat Nov 02, 2024 16:43 ..read more

Sunday was a Good Day. A couple of circuits with FI, he jumped out again and then I logged another 0.7 and six circuits. Most enjoyable it was too. Did 26 RH this time, which made a nice change from 26 LH. Wonder how many fewer hours it would have taken me to get this far if the circuit at Elstree was shorter. Also went to Denham for a trial lesson but a booking error (i.e. no booking) meant I sat in the back of a PA-28 whilst someone else (five hours in) had a lesson.

I think Pembrey was being autocorrected! Damned iPad! Good spot. I plan to go again with more time and make it to the beach! And to finish Winston’s biscuits! Statistics: Posted by pm05gah — Sat Oct 26, 2024 19:23 ..read more

Mildly Interesting factoid. Not only is the runway orientation the same at both Welshpool and Pembrey (04-22), but they are within a gnats whisker of being aligned, so a straight out departure from one can put you on veeeeerrry long final for the other. I’ve done it a couple of times. Statistics: Posted by GrahamB — Fri Oct 25, 2024 18:24 ..read more

When you have more time, walk through the wood to the beach. It's absolutely amazing. Huge, sandy, and deserted. Statistics: Posted by TopCat — Fri Oct 25, 2024 18:02 ..read more
