Light Aircraft Association

Well, this post has been here a week now and gained in excess of 600 views and generated some interesting responses. Retired Air Traffic Controller, John Mead reflected The Air Navigation Order with his assertion that there is no such thing as Night/VFR in the UK. Jeremy Liber said exactly the same ...

Bob , again thanks for sharing that great video with us on The Forum. [No Corrie jokes this time] Great to see yet another good turn-out, with probably even worse wind conditions than the Beach Fly-in. Glad to see that lads at 'Northern Productions' also weaved in a bit of choreography too with the ...

As the author of the original posting, I'm rather pleased at the different opinions that have moved the debate along. But I hope that I've not been misunderstood here . I'm not some crazy loner who is out to throw a spanner into this issue at all costs. I'm actually a very satisfied LAAer and will b...

With ref. to the internet survey regarding the above topic , which I received after two abortive attempts [what is it with LAA and internet surveys ?]. The reason that I make this point is because if LAA are going to pursue this , they had better be damned sure that it is something that the membersh...

' Northern Productions ',,,,,,,,yes,maybe they're the people that make Coronation St.

Actually,,I'm sure I saw Stan & Hilda coming in, in one of them weight-shifts !

Fantastic, thanks for sharing that video with us all on the forum Bob. I sat and watched it right through,,,,,,,,,then watched it again. I would like to forward it to some U.S. friends out in Florida, just to show 'em ; A. Grass roots aviation is alive and well over here. B. It's not just their troo...

I sat chuckling like a drain at Nigels post. It's good to see that one can criticise and chuck in a bit of humour as well. I don't actually think that LAAs website is boring , I suppose that as an approved organisation it walks something of a tight-rope in keeping the CAA appeased. HangarChat has be...

Is The Forum broken? Well I don't think it is, but there are one or two misguided souls who believe that this type of chat forum is some kind of barometer as to the state of health of the LAA - Well it's not - look at the stats, only about 40% of the membership subscribe to it, and of those , most p...

Donald seems a bit too keen by half in his desire to hold the EASA scabbard to all of our throats. Andrew Leak's very valid original question was dealt with admirably by Brian Hope with his assertion that nothing will appear in any sort of clarity before 2018, along with equally sensible inputs from...

Blimey , this old chatroom lark's a laugh a minute innit ? A members slightly tongue in cheek posting re; the 2011 Survey explodes into a million different directions of diversification . One poor chap even manages to go off into a full Stanley Unwin impersonation ! Book him for the Saturday night s...

Malclom Rogan is quite right in what he says. HangarChat is a great facility to have, and the idea of posting relevant, well-worded contributions also in 'Letters' is a good idea if Editor Brian is indeed so short of material, but the suggestion that this type of forum could take the place of the le...

I feel I have just been dragged into the 1990s, after having been rather scathing to Editor Brian about chat rooms. I thought they were where schoolgirls got preyed on by filthy old men pretending to be Brad Pitt. Until now I have been a 'Chatroom Virgin', but I'm pleasantly surprised at how civilis...
