BRL
Re visits. Aside from the one which you and I attended Loughborough University Flying Club have visited and the IBM Flying Club are about to as well.
If PPRuNers would like another one I will be happy to see if I can fix one up.
Sir George
WRT education things are starting to happen.
Some PPRuNer's may have seen me on the Pilot stand at the London Air Show at Earls Court. I was there on the Friday and Saturday and was running through a 15 minute presentation and Q&A on NOTAM briefings.
I was very busy and pleased with the level of interest. A lot of people did not realise that the Narrow Route Brief is the one to go for most of the time, nor did they realise that they only needed to give the brief a name, say where they were going from and to and what height they were flying to get a brief valid for the next 48 hours. The rest of the boxes simply allow you to adjust the brief to give you better filtering. At this time of year you should be getting no more than 2 pages if you have got it right.
A lot of people did not realise that they could get all of their aerodrome charts, approach plates and comms info for any licensed airfield for nothing from the site.
This was all set up and paid for by Pilot. They have asked me to do the same again at Aerofair and the PFA Rally. Not sure whether I will be able to do all 6 days yet.
There is a strong possibility of AIS having someone there as well and you may see some more publicity and "how to's" appearing over the next month or two.
