I agree with Nigel. That is what is said in the letter. Accepting Brian's interpretation is what was probably intended, yet again we have more proof the ANO is not fit for purpose especially WRT permit aircraft. Interpretation in our mag or over the phone should not be necessary. What sort of regula...

Nah! The pointy waxed moustaches and gleaming shoes would give 'me away every time

The structure of the training and assessment side of the PCS has been agreed with the CAA. I guess any payment made under that scheme must be considered as expenses, though the PCS advertises, or has advertised, rates for particular courses. Is it any more permissible to pay for training in a group...

5 Aircraft operating under a Permit to Fly 5.1 According to Article 11(4) of the ANO, aircraft operating under a Permit to Fly can not be used for aerial work consisting of flying training or flying tests unless permitted by the CAA. Generally, the CAA will only issue such permission to factory bui...

Mike, all I'm suggesting is that we go back to the way we operated when we held PFA Rallies. If you came in by air you, and your passengers, regardles of whether any of you were members, received passes to come and go airside as you wished. If you came by road and were a member, you could also go a...

Ah! Just as I thought this topic had died. Members only airside for a national rally would be a good way to coax back some of our enthusiast members that have lapsed but we would need to cater for a member turning up with his familiy or friends (as he would in an aircraft). No one is going to drive ...

"Further to the public consultation on the Phase 2 proposals to extend the rules for carriage and operation of transponders (see below for background to phased approach), the CAA has now published its final decision, in which it intends to introduce: * Regulation to require all aircraft (except glid...

I would like to add my thanks to Mike and John and indeed the Channel Islands for their kindness in granting our exemptions.

With respect, it may appear flawed to you but not to the vast majority around the table at the meeting including 4 EC members. It is what the National Council believes would be best for the association.

It was a recommendation (and the Marketing SC chairman agreed) of Aug 1st NC that full access to the photo library should be available to anyone. The reasoning was that people will not (have not) joined to get access to the big images but would view them if free. Viewing produces website hits that h...

Is that with or without the gnomes and picket fence John?

Rule 2 of the previous set of rules (2008) is missing completely OBJECTIVES To promote and extend the sport ofrecreational flying by minimising it's costs through the advice and services provided by the association for :- 1/ The encouragement of the design, construction and operationof recreational...

Hi Peter, No decision has been made of course but if NC's recommendations are adopted by EC then yes I think a vote of thanks would be appropriate. In that event I will ask the LAA chairman to table such a motion to EC, in my opinion the correct place for it. I think NC (your peers) have always made...

Members may be interested to know the following resolution was passed unanimously by National Council today: "The NC recommend that the term 'Regional Rally' be withdrawn in favour of a single annual LAA led flying event. The NC further recommend that struts wishing to organise a local aviation even...

They are at Gloucester Airport nowadays.
