Although this seems to have generated a lot of angst, nothing much has changed really. The 2004 rules of the PFA says in para 10a:

The Committee shall have the power to make and vary such Regulations as it may think fit, provided that these do not conflict with the Rules ...

John, please could you clarify if:

1. the LAA has been confirmed as legally meeting the requirements of being a club?

2. the situation re sole ownership?

Regards,

Hi John,

According to my 2010 AFE Flight Guide, it's helicopters only and not available to fixed wing ACFT. Military SAR H24 and operated by the Royal Marines. 01271 857220 (PPR). Worth a call, maybe.

Brian,

Is the survey for all members and will there be something in LA this month as a reminder?

Many may miss it if, as happened to me, the e-mail ends up in the spam box, which was the point of my initial post!

Hope you enjoyed the 'bike ride.

Chris

Tom,

I'm not sure if that will work very well. There are probably only a couple of hundred regular Forum browsers from a membership of 8K spread all over the UK.

I'm not sure how you go about getting your offer to the broader membership in the Southampton area. Perhaps ask Brian Hope to put a ...

Hello Tom,

The LAA is a company (LAA Ltd.) in which members have a single share. LAA Ltd consists of a top class Engineering department which fulfills the contractual obligations of an exposition with the CAA to provide airworthiness recommendations for ascribed Permit aircraft. It also has a CEO ...

I have just found an e-mail from [email protected] in my Spam box entitled LAA 2011 Member Survey - We need your Views.

I've completed the survey and awaiting the Viagra to arrive...

This raises quite an important issue.

The GA Alliance is like a quango born of a quango's quangos. They all depend on the CAA to some degree for their existence, so fights are picked with some care - otherwise known as politics. As we know, the LAA is very good at it.

Luckily, as individuals, we ...

John,

Like Dave, I'm having some difficulty in getting to grips with this and giving you a considered response.

For example, what is the issue with Seething? It is unlicensed and looking at the 1:500,000 and Pooleys it has no congested area. Surely not the 70' silo?

To add to the confusion, some ...

Good spot Mike.

Will, the Date of "No Flight" Declaration is 24/02/2010 so there is a good chance that the current registered owner still has it or knows what's happened. Have you tried calling him? His number can be found via the on-line BT directory.

John,

Having been to Swanwick recently, the majority of choke points (or should we say the busier areas of Class G at least) are covered by radar and LARS. We were given a fantastic demo of how NATS/D&D can select whatever returns they want to see (primary and secondary) just about anywhere in the ...

Another date for the diary.

Aero Expo 2011 will be held at Sywell, from 17-19 June.

Aero Expo has previously been held at Booker but, as most of you know, there have been limitations on movements and accommodation on site.

Aero Expo at Sywell will have a more relaxed slot system, camping on site ...

Aircraft passenger and third party insurance requirements are laid down by CAA/EASA laws and depends on certain factors including the number of passengers carried.


From previous threads, the legal requirements are minimums only.

In the Events section, Andre requested LAA volunteers and pilots to help out at last weekends MKAS Young Aviators Day (working with YES).

What insurance cover was provided and what were the associated pilot requirements? (As I understand it, MKAS is not covered by the strut insurance and it wasn't ...
