Get them to deal with the orphan aircraft issue, re Bolkows, Fourneirs and the like. Insisting that aircraft stay on a C of A is pointless.Also, the gyro permit issue has not been resolved, despite the announcement of acceptance of factory gyros. It has only been partially resolved and needs further...

Hi all, We will be hosting a Women in Aviation Fly-In, to coincide with International Women in Aviation Week (3-9th March), at Waterford Aero Club at EIWF. The theme of the fly-in is "fly a gal", ie, bring a woman or girl flying, especially if she has not flown before.Grub, chat, aeroplanes,etc,etc ...

What model of magnetos is fitted to the Cirrus Minor? I believe that they are BTH manufacture, but what subtype? Anyone got a lead to a manual for them? They're fitted to an Auster V J1.

I don't care if a guy looks like a wino if he is a good man with a spanner or can precisely sideslip a Jodel into a grassy field. if we need to ...

Hi all,
Can anyone suggest a suitable type/model/brand of seat belt for a D 112, that has an automotive inertial reel. The whole assembly is a car-type, lap and shoulder strap set-up.

Hi all, I stand to be corrected but why, if this is a compulsory requirement of Europe, is it not being subsidised by Europe? As an airline person, I know that the cost of retrofitting airliners and CAT for 8.33 will simply be borne as a cost to be offloaded onto the passengers in the long run or as...

Im talking about 90 degree extrusion. I'll have a look at TW and Wicks.
