Wellesbourne

Or consider Wellesbourne. Distance wise, it's probably a little further. But you get a great choice of clubs and schools with very competitive rates. Have a look at all the options, visit the...

Thank you

A 'thank you' to Didistutter.

A sentiment that I couldn't agree with more.

The events at Coventry are a sad time for many people. Personally, I've been based there for some years. With...

Latest rumour heard

Well, on the grapevine, the latest rumour I've heard is that we should see Air traffic services restored at Cov by 1st February. Don't know what level of service this will be, but it's looking...

Airliners

Sometimes those 737's can be a problem - normally when they're occupying the runway waiting for a release from Birmingham, while I'm flying round in circles somewhere mid-downwind. . .

Try Almat

I'm biased, but take a look at Almat Flying Club at Coventry airport. I trained there myself, and still fly with them. There's a great team of instructors and a good ground school facility if you...

Be ready!

Just a word of warning - I sat mine last month (passed fine) - the 'Mayday' that you have to relay is played from a tape and the call is made really quick, so you need to be fast in noting down the...

Accuracy

I've got a Hercules (self-winding automatic) and it's easily the most accurate watch I've ever owned. Far better than others that have cost me far more. And unlike the B1 / Aerospace etc, it...

ILS

Maybe EGBB will get round to fixing the glideslope on 33 some day soon. It's been unservicable for some time now.

Re: Parking Problem

Interesting - at my club this is the usual way to move our aircraft, largely due to the fact that most of our towbars have snapped!

Logically, the loads generated by pulling the aircraft forward...

Sense. . .

Thanks for the info. This makes good sense to me. I was trying to think of a purely mechanical reason why a given rev range could be bad, whilst above and below were OK. The harmonic vibration...

Constant Speed Prop Question

Hi There,

I've done a search for this, and can't find any reference to it, so I'll post the question here!

auto carbs

Hi There,

Car engines have been known to suffer from icing. In my days as a student in the early 90s I was running a 1967 Triumph that would 'loose power' on motorway driving, to the point where...

Almat. . .

Lightbulb Advice etc

All I would add is this: Don't treat it as just a process to pass the exams. Make sure that you actually understand each subject in depth - there are very good reasons why we are required to learn...

On a related note. . .

My thoughts on an earlier article in the series that's been puzzling me for some time.

The earlier article was called 'Actions when lost', much time was spent on ways to fix your position:

Almat

Hi there,

I'm currently doing my PPL with Almat at Coventry. It's a very well-run, friendly club with sensible prices for instruction and aircraft hire. However, the standard of professionalism...

Similar, but related

On a related note, does anyone know if BHX ever intend to actually fix the ILS glideslope for 33? It seems to have been unservicable for a very long time now.
