Yep, that's it in a nutshell.
Absolutely, but it seems clubs and flight schools are writing this into the 'small print' of their Terms and Conditions.
However, to be fair, the flight school whose Terms and Conditions I quoted above do make it clear (and reiterate bold text) precisely what the situation is when you fly with them.
Whether this change from 'full' cover has been insidious or a general trend I don't know?
In the States cover is widely available, in the UK AOPA provide insurance for instructors and examiners - but no mention of the private pilot (as far as I could see?).

You are absolutely 100% entitled to ask for evidence of insurance from the club and if it is not forthcoming or you are not satisfied you should go elsewhere.

Website back online -
We are pleased to announce that normal business will be resumed on 01 January 2014!
Wishful thinking or actually going to happen?

Some good news at last for anyone owed money by fly/Bpl, apparently he has won his court case against Blackpool airport and has been awarded £200,000 in damages so give him a ring or nip round to Garstang for a refund, please Keep Calm, don't stampede, there is enough for everybody

Sorry, I don't know anything about anything; I'm just a pilot.
All I can say to you is this: when I see a fine fat pig, four trotters down, slipping over the hedge on a nicely stabilised approach, then I'll believe they can fly .......... until then it's just another rumour.

Hsppy to oblige, one fine fat pig with four greens on final approach to Battersea Heliport, clearly before your time.
Mind you there was a somewhat tasteless joke doing the rounds after the crash of the Hampshire Police Optica that suppports your view.

Big container outside his Hangar, put there by the airport, they will be emptying everything out starting tomorrow. The deadline for claiming and removing equipment from the Hangar expires at Midnight tonight (as posted in the Gazette by the receivers)
p.s. no "Carousel" Christmas Party this year, it will be held at the Blackpool Homeless Soup Kitchen instead

Just to clear up Fly Blackpool will be having a Christmas party and it will be at the Carousel! 
Oh and I haven't used a fake name to try and hide who I am, I just don't know who half of these people are! But I'm sure that the person this is aimed at can figure it out.

Wow! You both have been so sad and gone as far as ringing them up? That's funny.
So to confirm.. we WILL be having a Christmas party at the Carousel. I never said anything about it being booked yet?

Is trotters a Lancashire treat? I spend a lot of time in Portugal they have a treat of a dish Pezinhos de coentrada (trotters with coriander) albolutely fabulous
Is this carousel place famous for their trotters?. Maybe worth a visit one day
