Manchester Low Level Route blocked out on new 1/2 Mil

The Manchester LL route on the 1/2 mil chart used to be very clear and useful for planning and navigating but on the new chart just issued it is greyed out making the navigation features largely invisible. The CAA notice on this (below) suggests this has been done to suit CAA ATS regulators who do n...

I just bought a Trig TN72 TABS (which is TSO C199 approved) with the intention of upgrading the ADS-B(out) to SIL=1 ...

Re: Electronic tacho

Could that alternator actually be a magneto? It is possible to pick off the impulses by connecting through a resistor (10k ish I think) to the ignition switch. I have the diagram for the set up in an RV if that helps. Not much different to the one in a Jodel before.

Re: Claim re contribution towards the cost of 8.33 kHz radio

At the General Aviation Partnership meeting a couple of weeks ago the CAA explained that the EC rules said they had to pay the applicant and claim it back from the EC as a bulk bid in arrears. As a result the project had a cash flow problem and they needed to pay what they could and then wait for th...

Re: RT training

David,

I have a copy of the interactive ebook that the CAA removed from their website a few years ago. It has audio so may be useful for your purpose. About the only out of date item is the use of mb rather than the catchy HpA I could email it to you.

For example the groups of TAF and METAR by regions are gone and each airfield has to be entered individually by name. And international wx ...
