Hi all,

This wasn't meant to be a "how busy are you" thread. More a "how have people worked out how to keep flying and instructing legally" one.

So, in Scotland, with the latest "requests" about non-essential travel between health board areas, the airfield at Strathaven is closing for visitors, and the flying school is only operating A to A flights - so no cross-country navigation with land-aways. Airfield users are going to be "requested" not to operate A to B flights, but - like the government - only requested.

We figure it is up to our students as to whether their journey from one health board area to another is "essential". There are so few flying schools in Scotland, it is often "essential" to travel to one in another health board area!

Just thinking about trial flying lessons at the moment. Interested in feedback from others.
