I do agree if the CAA accept their bid they will end up with more Class D airspace than Gatwick .
It should be noted that Farnborough's traffic is almost exclusively NOT public transport but in the main GA.

Has anyone signed up for the new site for the Met Office General Aviation offering
I tried it today and thought it was a retrograde step on the old site.
i wonder if there had been any consultation with its potential users as to its content etc.
I certainly wasn't asked!

I do agree.
If what Farnborough are shopping for and what Boscombe Down want with regard to increased Danger Areas
and with the imposition of an SMZ in Class G airspace it will almost be impossible to fly over Hampshire

I guess a lot of people will have seen this it was taken from the Flyer Newsletter but in case not:- "Serious airspace infringements at six of the UK's highest-risk hot spots must be cut by at least half over the next year or the CAA will take further action such as bespoke 'surveillance mandatory z...

The Sponsors identified a problem ...

I see QinetiQ have an ACP in the pipe line for danger areas EGD 120 and EGD 122

I have a real problem with a licensed airfield requiring PP for a normal movement. I perfectly accept that a private unlicensed A/F may require it. If a licensed A/F has a problem accepting traffic at a particular time they should take NOTAM action.

I heard a rumour that the CAA has postponed the introduction of much of SERA. I cannot however find a definitive source of information on this. Can anyone Help?

I am sure you are correct.
As always I found the FISO professional and friendly. It was just the attitude of the person in the "club" who let the rest down.

As It was the last day of the month and a rather fine day I decided to use up one of the vouchers which were about to expire. I went to Goodwood. On booking in I presented my free landing voucher from the magazine which was recieved with a grunt and a request to see my LAA membership Card. I was not...

I think I am going to wait for a while and see what happens with new equipment coming on the market. The problem is with the USA not mandating 8.33Khz the here is no driver for the US manufacturers to develop the relevant kit. It will I feel be left to European companies to develop for a much smalle...
