I did this a few years ago but can only trav...

WANTED - Airspace Aware memory card

I'm looking to borrow or buy an airspace aware memory card for the Aware produced in the early 2000's by/for NATS.

Any help appreciated as mine has corrupt card and still think its a useful battery backed up device with charts that I want to give to a wannabee pilot.

Re: CAP1302 Transfer of non-Part 21 aircraft from Certificate of Airworthiness to Permit to Fly

Having been an LAA member for a number of years, when I transferred my Aircraft from a CofA to a Permit to Fly - I thought it was a great benefit to me; an LAA member.

Re: Use of Stainless Steel AN bolts in place of CAD plated AN bolts

High-tensile bolts are made from high-grade alloy steel, which has been quenched and tempered. They have higher hardness than standard grade 8 bolts, making them ideal for heavy-duty applications such as bridges, construction, mining equipment, and more. They are also resistant to corrosion and rust...

Your landing fee of £12.50 includes the entrance fee for yourself and your passengers:- One landing fee of £12.50 covers admission for all on board for a single landing and stay of up ...
