Irv, You are doing an excellent job on this most important subject, but I feel that I must question the basis for stating that only a small number of warnings were not needed. I do not see how the number can be discovered. I fly from Fairaoks frequently, always with Farnborough LARS, and can recall ...

Peter G: I am only refering to the present position, not what may/may not come from the EASA FCL consultation.

Flying to work.

Deafening silence from everybody else on this one, so here's my comments. I assume from your posting on this forum that you are flying a LAA Permit aircraft. I learnt to fly nearly 30 years ago, and have over 1450 hours now. For me, flying is all about an unbelievably wonderous means of personal tra...
