Light Aircraft Association

IIRC the legal requirement is that you log wot it says in ANO 2016 art 228 Detailed information about each flight during which the holder of the log acted either— (a) as a member of the flight crew of an aircraft; or (b) for the purpose of qualifying for the grant, renewal or revalidation of a licen...

It’s not about amending the articles Brian. It should have been possible to avoid the vote on Barrie’s motion in the first place if the board had stood firmly behind the decision and said “This is our job, we were elected to this, by all means put a motion asking us to reconsider but if you want to ...

My apologies, crap arithmetic on my part, the number of members reported at the 2016 AGM was about 7,600.

Hi Brian I'm not suggesting for one moment that there should be no redress, what I'm saying is that if someone's not happy with a decision of the board a motion at the AGM is not the right way to attack it. Article 27 gives the board its powers, in particular article 27 b) which says "Interpretation...

The solution to our mess is simple and revolves around ONE question, which I pose below. We appoint people to make decisions on our behalf. If we are unhappy with their performance there should be a motion of no confidence, which, if passed ought to result in the person(s) concerned stepping down or...

Bill. I did not say she blamed the publicity team, I suggested that a clear statement by her that she was not solo and that she regretted any impression given to the contrary by the publicity team would have been welcome. I'm not defending her action or lack thereof, she seems unable to openly admit...

This is a sorry state of affairs, no doubt brought about by the ineptitude of well-meaning individuals. Strewart Jackson's supporting statement says that "The 2016 AGM resolved that Tracey brought the Association into disrepute because she falsely claimed she had flown alone on her long-haul biplane...

Thanks to those who came in to see Lee. We had over 50 visiting aircraft and surprised the caterers with numbers, apologies for the wait at times. A really BIG thank you for taking care to remain clear of Solent airspace, it's only 3nm away. I spoke to them yesterday evening on my way back to Popham...

Update Power circuits are to the northwest, glider circuits to the south-east, i.e. 23 RH and 05 LH. If you have houses under you you're in the wrong place, downwind leg is over open country.

BBC News - Jersey air traffic system 'is unfit for purpose'

Full text of Charles' Press Release is available here.

Feel free to point any of your journalist friends at it. Nice to see the BBC picking it up.

Sorry I missed it Les but I understand from Jonno that it was as good as ever. I've been in the US for a few months but now back in UK until late August.

Best Wishes
Mike

http://www.eghf.co.uk/images/stories/eghfimages/Leefront2.jpg Many of you will have followed the saga of Lee on Solent, formerly HMS Daedalus. After sale of the site to the Maritime & Coastguard Agency (MCA) and South East England Development Agency (SEEDA) the runway came under the control of Hamp...

I've been told that it's now a done deal so here's the latest. From 1 April Hampshire Constabulary will no longer control LoS. The Police Islander stopped flying in October last year and since then there has been reduced manning resulting in no visitors at weekends. The new operator will be Britten ...

LAA lobbies Europe through its membership of RAeC, who in turn are members of EAS. AOPA UK also lobbies on our behalf through its membership of IAOPA (Europe). Latest issue of the IAOPA (Europe) newsletter now available here. Subjects include United front on the N-register, Rethink on environmental ...

Hi Nigel. The difficulty is as I stated. The classification of NOTAM is not as simple as "ATC & Mil Admin". For example lack of radar cover is definitely an ATC issue but is also something that pilots might want to know. NATS is funded by CAA to provide the breifing service required by ICAO. it's no...
