Re: LAA and SKYFLY TO COLLABORATE ON RADICAL NEW DESIGN LAA and SKYFLY TO COLLABORATE ON RADICAL NEW DESIGN The LAA a

And the expected / projected / target price point? I do wonder how much money the LAA is expending on this given its relevance to most of the membership. I also wonder how much engineering resource the LAA is expending on this given the backlog of mod, radio, IFR and Night applications that are alr...

Re: Good News From Wales

I am afraid I cannot advise whether or not general aviation activity is allowed under the current guidance............ if you do decide to undertake general aviation activity, you must be able to reasonably justify your actions if challenged. In some cases, bespoke legal advice may need to be sough...

Re: For the attention of Steve Slater

Re the possibility of GA NOT being allowed in Wales at the moment, I have received some clarity as follows "The letter was from Simon Jones, Director Economic Infrastructure (Simon.jones@gov.wales) and basically said that the First Minister's announcement that day (29th May) still did not permit GA ...

For the attention of Steve Slater

Apologies for thread title but getting a response from LAA high command on this forum is like drawing teeth. With regard to the recent statement concerning the restarting of GA in Scotland and Wales, there appears to be some disagreement locally (in Wales) as to whether or not this is actually permi...

Re: Solo flights permitted- update from CAA

Re the recent news item concerning flying in Scotland and Wales, can the exact response from the devolved governments (in particular the Welsh one) be published so that we can decide whether or not to go flying.

Re: LAA and BMAA SUSPEND MERGER DISCUSSIONS

Sadly, we haven’t had similar reassurance from the BMAA council and their members Over on the red & yellow forum is a (copied) message from the BMAA chairman which states that their decision was to be made at a (now postponed) meeting on 23rd March. If this is so, isn't the decision on 20th March b...
