Cessna 340 Fairoaks to Cannes and back - frequently
 
During the summer months I fly between EGTF and LFMD two or three times per month, often solo. Usually willing to fly with an enthusiastic right seat buddy or pax with feet up in the back, in return for a fuel contribution.
Usually IFR direct, occasionally with a stop off en-route for lunch/fuel.

Glasgow / Ashaig lift required July 11th
 
Hi,

I'm a HK resident and Philippine PPL holder. I'm heading up to Skye on the 11th of July to visit my father. I'd much rather fly up to Ashaig GA than take bus /train / drive. I am willing to cover all expenses whilst adhering to local regulations. Suggestions on a postcard pls.

Best,
SSS

Any helicopter pilots in the N. Wales, Shropshire, Cheshire, (Northern) Powys area looking for some company? I'm about to embark on PPL (CPL Modular) so any air time is appreciated.

Long time expired PPL!
 
Hi Guys,

Any one in the Lincoln/Lincolnshire area have a spare seat?

It would be nice to get airborne again as I haven't flown for at least 17 years.
Have a little experience to offer as I have built two aircraft over this period.

Of course would love to contribute to expenses incurred.

Heres hoping :hmm:

Best regards,

Nigel.

Mike Flynn 11th Jul 2017 00:13

I passed your details on to a nice guy called Barry. I gather you will meet up next week:ok:

pistonprovost 11th Jul 2017 08:54

Thank you Jay,

It is much appreciated.

I have been in contact with Barry and have arranged a meeting with him at Kirton gliding club.

Best regards,

Nigel.

Hello
Looking to get back into flying SEP and possibly looking to buy into a share of an aircraft or join a club (money permitting of course). I have a CPL/MEIR and been keeping the IR valid every year but not so much the SEP. I would like to get back into single engine flying. I currently live in Hampshire not too far to travel from Blackbushe or Popham. I did some of my flying from Lee on Solent couple of years back so not to bothered about the travel. PM me if anyone can help. Regards

BatteriesNotIncluded 12th Jul 2017 09:01

I live in the Kingston area, so I'm local to Biggin Hill, Fairoaks, Denham...

I'm 42 hours into my PPL. Had a year-long hiatus due to life getting in the way. Was due to fly in August, but we are having to move due to landlord selling our beloved apartment.

I'm staying sharp with theory but would be great to get back into a plane if anyone wants the company. I will be getting Night Rating and MEP almost immediately afterward. Aim to get Full IR inside of two years and Jet Orientation as the dream is to own a Citation Mustang (aim for the stars before you land on the cloud!)

Anyway... if any fair folk are flying and want to keep the right seat warm, pick me!

Justigulator 12th Jul 2017 18:22

For BatteriesNotIncluded
 
Got my PPL at Denham early this year and am currently just keeping it warm via self hire every 2-3 weeks while I work out what to do next (and what I can afford: divorce pending). Have found myself a little lacking in confidence to rush into anything too ambitious and it would be good to have someone in the RHS who is aviation-savvy, or another newish PPL to share, with whom to fly more or less locally and extend boundaries a bit. Not sure if this forum allows PMs but if not please reply on the forum and I'll attempt to give non-spamable contact details.

gob11 14th Jul 2017 10:22

Hey, I'm based at Denham as well... Just converted my ICAO CPL to the EASA PPL there... looking for some RHS flights to get more familiar with the region :)

Looking for anyone with a spare seat flying out of Blackpool EGNH

I'm a FAA certificate holder, done 99.9% of my flying in the USA

Now back home more often so before I start going through the CAA procedures to fly in the UK on my FAA ticket I would like to get in the air whenever possible to help get educated and comfortable with the airspace/ATC etc.

Very willing to share acceptable costs.

Want to Join You in Cockpit (Essex, Cambs, Suffolk - UK)
 
Hello Everyone,

I’d like to get in touch with Pilot-Folks who fly any time of a week to anywhere in the UK or outside – to join you in the cockpit.

I am 37 yo Second-Career-ATPL-Student, with PPL and 90hrs total. Flying experience from UK and Spain. While taken time off work to study I’d to stay in touch with cockpit environment, be in other planes than C150/C172, see other airfields, see how you work.

I am easy to get on with, I wouldn’t interfere or play wise guy. I can help with workload, radio, maps, keeping heading, making coffee on the ground.

I don’t mind this being one off or regular thing. As to the costs, I haven’t considered contributions fund (paying my own way through my training), but I don’t mind paying your landing fee (as long as we don’t land at Stansted or Heathrow, lol).

I live in Newmarket, Suffolk (border with Cambridgeshire and Essex) and can travel up to the departure airfield.

You can check me out on FB or Linked In (not allowed yet to post URLs), jsut type in Jakub Duzynski

Happy to meet for a coffee in your base airfield first 😊

Take care,

Jakub

Happy to contribute !

I would be interested to fly with any PPL's as I try to rebuild my 'lost' self belief. I'm a 200hrs PPL(A) and I feel like I would like to observe and learn from other pilots as well as share the love of flying that I still have.

My closest airfields are Biggin Hill and Redhill. I'm more than happy to contribute financially where appropriate.

Many thanks

Hi all - I'm a PPL candidate flying out of Manchester Barton. Passed first solo and would love to get more experience in the cockpit as an observer as I continue to learn. My flight instruction is only on Saturdays (when the weather is co-operative) so it's a slow process and I'd love to keep up momentum. Happy to share costs, of course, and to join from Liverpool or perhaps even Blackpool.
