Places to Fly?
 

Where are some Nice sceanic places to Fly i'm currently Based at Denham( Inside Heathrow CTA)...would a flight to Jersey be dangerous/difficult having just completed my PPL.

Thanks!!

No, Jersey is easy. It's a pleasant place to visit.

You need to give 12hrs notice to Special Branch with the GAR form, and then just fly as per normal route planning (get the map out and plan it outside controlled airspace).

Significantly over-water flights should carry a life raft, IMHO.

Cool Thanks; where else would you recommend to fly in the British Isles?

Here is what I recomend . Do a trip to the Isle of White and then Le Touque , short over water trips get you into the feel of things .

Thanks.. do you think I could I complete these without a life raft flying at FL70?

For scenery, its hard to beat the spectacular North Cornwall coast ..... all way from Hartland Point ( Devon )...all the way down to Lands End . Excellent service from Newquay LARS and both Perranporth and the strip at Roserrow are must visits .

where to fly
 

Hi I fly to Jersey every other week and would be glad to chat over things with you. If you are fairly new as a PPL just be careful if the vis is poor it can be a sunny day but still really be IFR with no horizon to speak of. As one of the other guys said Cornwall is very nice, I visit Perrenporth at least one a year. PM me if you want a bit more info
