Although I'm currently locking horns with the BMAA over another regulatory matter, I would just like to add that the implication on this site that microlight flying is in some way inferior or that their pilots are 'gash' is entirely unjustified. The average microlight driver does considerably more flying in a 12 month period than the average spamcan driver (like me) - so please don't suggest that they are of a lower caste.

Oh - and CAA. Let's have live updated graphical NOTAM displays available on the web, please! Years ago when we had a large flight planning staff at the Secret Oxonian Aerodrome, the daily NOTAM brief was drawn on an A4 map of the UK. Then came Computers, reduction in staff levels - and the sort of user-unfriendly rubbish which is on the AIS website.
