EZ go around

I remember positioning on an early BA Trident flight into LHR when the Captain announced, after a very noisy go-around: "Sorry about that. It clamped in on us so we're going to have another stab at...

The thread has crept somewhat but throughout my longhaul career I was fairly certain that most of the so-called safety margins were very marginal but could somehow be justified on paper. Max weight...

Can Mogas cause excessive carbon build up?

Thanks for the helpful replies. There is no mixture control on my installation so leaning not an option. Compression tests before each permit renewal have always been in the mid/high 70s. W100Plus...

Can Mogas cause excessive carbon build-up?

I have just removed the cylinders from my C90 and was surprised to see how badly coked up the rings were. The top ring in three of the cylinders was almost completely seized in and the lower two not...

Progressive lenses

Risking a slight thread creep, has anyone tried lens replacement surgery? I have used bi-focal and later varifocal spectacles fairly successfully over the last 30 years, from the time I noticed...

Self declaration Medical submission

Is there a clever workaround for making the CAA self declaration online form work via Google Chrome? Doesn't seem to submit.

Alternator to C90

The tech guys at B&C say it's ok to run the engine with their alternator electrically disconnected so I hope they are right!

Fitting an alternator to C90 query

Am about to fit a new B&C alternator to my Continental C90 to replace a failed ancient generator. I would like to run the engine occasionally whilst I sort out the new wiring setup. Is there any...

Change to NPPL medical rules

When I kicked off this thread a month or so ago I had a feeling I would be one of the first to be caught by the new self-certification'guidance' notes. I'm now the grateful holder of a LAPL medical...

NPPL medicals

We are drifting a bit off-thread, but I paid £185 for a LAPL/NPPL medical this week- that included an ECG. Most of us with previous heart history will probably have to do one, as that's why we are at...

NPPL medicals

Have just had clarification from the CAA that under UK law the LAPL medical certificate validates the NPPL, so there's no need to apply for the actual LAPL(unless you want to fly EASA a/c after...

NPPL medicals

As expected the CAA confirmed to me today that I am grounded until I obtain a LAPL.
There was however a small glimmer of hope in their reply: 'they are in discussions with the BMAA/LAA to ascertain...

NPPL medicals

I have asked the CAA to say what the official line on grounding is for those whose GP certification has expired since the new Guidance and have not yet obtained a LAPL. Await with (un)bated breath.

NPPL medical

It would be easy to assume there is an AME agenda behind all this. Could one of them perhaps be persuaded to comment to dispel that terrible thought?

NPPL medicals

One problem seems to be the lack of a medical advisory dept at the CAA that we might be able to ask for advice. We can only approach an AME who's probably not exactly independent on the issue. I've ...

New medical rules for NPPL/PPL

The latest CAA online form for Medical renewal states that cardiac surgery is an exclusion from the new scheme of self declaration. Mine was 20 years ago and have been happily operating with an NPPL...

It's a long while ago now but when we first got B737-200s in BA I was operating to one of the Greek islands as a very new command. Somewhere over the western Med in the cruise in clear air the...

Reversers-lack of,

The old Caravelles had no reversers but a rather nice detachable brake parachute-we ran over one once in a Vanguard after landing at LHR on 05 at night!
