Spare Seats Available / Desired
 

This thread is for people who are going flying, and have a spare seat, that they are willing to share.

I suggest including the following details in your post.

1. Where you are flying from.
2. Date & time
3. Who you are willing to take. eg. non-flying child, non-flying adult, student pilot, low hour pilot, high hour pilot, pilot with specific experience that you hope to learn from.
4. Costs. Is the seat free, or do you expect the passenger to pay the landing fee, buy lunch, or share all costs.

Would exercise caution when advertising spare seats like this, see Art 130 of ANO, esp : no information concerning the flight shall have been published or advertised prior to the commencement of the flight other than, in the case of an aircraft operated by a flying club, advertising wholly within the premises of such a flying club in which case all the persons carried on such a flight who are aged 18 years or over shall be members of that flying club.

OK, i'll kick off and say I'm flying from a strip near Junc 14 of the M4 most weeks. Sometimes I am going somewhere, sometimes I am not.

If anyone wishes to PM me and come for a trip out let me know what kind of flight you want (local summers evening bimble/trip to a destination I might have to do) and I'll gladly accomodate you.

I don't want any money for it, just some decent conversation will do (immigrant rulings / the banning of vegetarianism etc).

Student pilots welcome, high hour pilots too (as long as they don't criticise). Student female pilots especially welcome:E

Seriously, feel free to get in touch. I'm happy to take you.:ok:

Looks like a good idea to me - especially for student pilots seeking to learn from those more experienced.

I think the way around the ANO is for people who are happy to take someone flying simply to say that and the generic types of flight that they typically do (inc. broad location). Then no details of any specific flight are being published. Probably best avoid online discussions about costs. That can be raised between the individuals concerned.

It's borderline, but then that's how the law works.

Squadgy: Thank you for the heads up there, there are other aviation forums about that have a seperate forum just for this kind of thing so there is/must be a way around it somehow. (see the post above.)

Have not had an e-mail from the CAA for a while now, so far so good....... :)

Well since no one is advertising I thought I'd put in a request! I'm a student PPL (33 hours) based in between Southampton and Goodwood and would be very grateful of any free/cheap flying.

Ta in advance.

Ah, C-bert, I thought I might find you here! Likewise, anyone wanting some company, student (14 hours), from Blackbushe or Wycombe? I have a preference for flying with competent pilots in fully airworthy aircraft!

Wouldn't we all!!!

Single seat in Hughes 269 on occasions.. open for suggestions of different places - not necessarily airfields either :ok: -are welcome.

I am willing to offer a free seat to any interested parties. North London, weekdays more often than weekends, but I'm flexible. Would be most interested to hear from students or newly qualified PPL's - I wish I'd known someone to fly with when I was at that stage myself. All I ask for in return is some enthusiasm and interest.

What amazes me is how infrequently offers like this are taken up (never did hear from that kid with the letter in the magazine despite offering precisely what he wanted). I may have a very untrustworthy face, but you can't tell that online...

c-bert; why don't you stick a notice up on the Goodwood board in the cafe?
I know there are people who have empty seats as i have been asked if i wanted to go for a jolly!

drauk, when you say north london, do you mean in london or above it? Im a student at herts uni, soon to get my PPL but would be interested in coming up with you during the week in term time. What airfield do you operate out of?

OK, I fly from Leeds/Bradford, and I'm quite happy to act as an aerial chaperone for any young female students at any time !;)

Only jesting, if there are any students out there who fancy a trip at some point, drop me a PM with your details and preferences.

I'm not often available due to the usual combined pressures of work, family, bank manager and tax man, but you never know, you might catch me on a day when the above haven't ...

FF :ok:

I fly a turbo Arrow out of Bournemouth and a Mooney out of Biggin. Happy to take a fellow pilot for a 'jolly'. Send me a PM. IMC...

I fly from Shoreham and despite a long list of persons wanting to go flying, it is not always possible for them to do so. Warrior, Tomahawk or 150/152, do drop me a PM with your details if you would be interested.

Particularly happy to take up studes or recently qualified PPL's who would like to have someone more experienced sat next to them. I know I have gleaned a lot of knowledge from having someone there to advise/help. And somehow it doesn't seem nearly as nerve wracking!!

more weekdays than weekends

I'm a recent PPL, flying out of Cambridge. Next couple of flights I intend to make already have willing victims, ahem, volunteers, allocated to seats, but there may be the odd occasion when I have the aeroplane booked for an hour, and an empty right hand seat.

I tend to stick to weekends, and probably won't have a seat spare for a good month or so, but if there are any studes or non-flyers who can potentially make Cambridge at short notice, drop me a PM...

I too have spare seats for trips from Cambridge from time to time. (But you won't want to come on my next flight, as I'm intending to practice short field landings in the circuit.)

I fly a C150 out of Sleap from time to time, and I like having company.

DH Queen Bee at Henlow, (Similar to Tiger Moth), my landings seem better with extra weight of front seat occupied :O

PM me

If the good weather holds out, some spare seats on Friday afternoon (around 1700 local, 10th Sep) from Prestwick to Inverness.

Will be returning around lunchtime on Sunday (12th Sep).

Meeting some Inverness ATC people, Eastern Airways pilots, and PPLs on Friday evening for a few libations.

There is also a group of fliers going out on the Saturday evening as well, although I am otherwise engaged.

Accomodation, food, & drink, all at your own expense and organisation. Seats in aircraft are free, with no taxes :}

Or you can get the train or bus back I suppose !!

How can I not ask for any flying in the Liverpool area! PPL - love to learn some more, and yes I can give an interesting conversation! :ok: :ok:

BRL,

Still busy at the top but would this not be a more worthy cause than the CAA safety evenings?

FD

Good call Frank, took the words out of my mouth.

(Prepare now for the usual threats/whiginging, about safety being more important then spare seats etc etc etc.......)

Seat(s) available in a PA28 from Filton to Lasham and back, departing noon Thursday 2nd Dec, weather (particularly vis!) permitting. No cost sharing - just be glad of the company and an extra lookout.

PM if interested.

M9

PA28 from Blackbushe seeks excuses to fly.

Goes anywhere as long as it's outside the circuit. eg. Sheffield, Leeds, Blackpool, Scotland, West Country (inc Scilly Isles), Wales etc.

Friends and family now exhausted by trips and airfield food, so often have a spare seat or two.

Normally weekends only.

PM if interested.

Enstone, Oxfordshire
 

Always looking for pax to take on joy-rides: I can't fly unless someone helps me get the aeroplane out of the hangar! :hmm: :E

PM me if you'd like to be put on my "standby" list!

I usually have a spare seat flying from Bicester/Turweston on weekdays, probably once a week or so (maybe every fortnight in this weather). Usual bimble for a cup of tea and bacon sarnie etc. PM me if interested.

i done a bit of flying myself out of leeds .. . . and would love to jumpseat with some of you ppls maybe make a vid with my new camcorder . . . so anyone with a spare seat out of leeds/sherburn let me know

Have a share in a C172 out of Aberdeen and am always happy to take anyone who is interested, will fly day or night whichever prefered..

£25 per hour towards my costs and maybe a beer afterwards.....

Drop me a PM if interested.....

Anyone at Shoreham like to offer me an evening/night flight?

Wouldn't mind seeing Sussex after dark from the air, only ever been on the usual scheduled/charter flights in the dark and they are not quite the same are they. :)

Anyone wishing to share some short strip, taildragger, barnstorming cubbing fun in my 1943 L4 are welcome to PM me.

I fly from Eastbach, Forest of Dean and fly once or twice a week - it's a beautiful part of the world and there are lots of interesting aircraft based at our place too.

I don't want any money for it as I own half the plane and basically fly for gas. I just want to share this wonderful privilege with others.

Cheers

Kingy

If anyone is looking for a seat filled in the Barton, Blackpool, Liverpool and Manchester area I’d be happy to contribute to the costs.

My currency is terrible at the minute and it would be good to get up in the air as much as possible. Not managing to fly much personally now that its coming up to crimbo.

Cheers

If anyone ever needs ballast from Conington or Fenland I would be more than interested. My log book tells me it has been over 12 months since I last had my bum off the ground (well, more than 3 feet off the ground)
One of the drawbacks to retirement, loads of time but little cash to enjoy it with:(

G'day fellow pilots,

I'm training for my PPL on the Isle of Man, but if theres anyone around liverpool/blackpool or very close to them, or the IOM of course, that can spare an hour for a short flight, I would really enjoy the learning experience, and the pilot chit-chatter!
Maybe when I pass my PPL, I can do the opposite and offer flights instead...
Martyn

Hey,

Inexperienced student here! If anybody happens to have their own, or a share in an aircraft at Newcastle (or Eshott) I'd be more than happy to come along for a flight. (Obvious statment I know!). If any free / cheap flights are available, please PM me!

Thanks,

John Foreman.

Barton and Isle of Man rides available. PM me if you fancy it!

Coop & Bear

Hi All
 

Anyone nr EGNT. expierienced pilot willing to share beer money
for right seat rides.


Cheers



John,It will sort itself out one day (JWF)

I fly my Mooney and Aztec out of Elstree. Happy to take someone in rh seat. PM me if interested.

I frequently have some spare seats available. Mainly, currently, from Sherburn.

PM me if interested in occupying a seat.

flying exchange UK - Denmark/SW Sweden
 

Taking advantage of EasyJet flights CPH-Stansted I had this idea of "exchange". I'll pick you up at CPH airport, we'll go flying in a pa 28-181 or a C 172SP from Landskrona in Sweden over to Denmark. I'll expect to be treated in the same way in return.
Flights leave Stansted on weekends at 07.15, landing CPH 09.55, return 19.35 landing Stansted 20.30.
Isn't it a nice way to spend a weekend?

Decent weather for a while so time to bring this up.

Does anyone have a spare seat available from Shoreham over the next couple of days?

Redhill and Goodwood would be nice too if anyone would like some talking ballast for a while........... :)
