I use one of these with the top page just a blank sheet in the clear pocket that I can write on with a chinagraph pencil. https://pilotshop.nl/contents/en-us/p515_Small_Flip_Chart_Flexi_Kneeboard.html

Blue, any update on your 600KG Nynja?

Yes, I have flown into Cardiff a couple of times and though they do now require a flight plan there are no other requirements I can remember.

Presumably only if it's a XC flight and not just circuits at the airfield you have been training at that didnt previously require one up to that point?

Looking to do a Panel refit in a few months time and been looking at the Kanardia gauges, specifically the ASI, Altmeter and the Horis. Anyone got experience of them?, there are a couple of aircraft at my field whose owners have given positive reviews.

But if the outlet valve fails open then when the mechanical pump does the suck part then it can suck through both the Inlet and outlet, surely this has the potential to reduce overall pressure? https://www.rotax-owner.com/en/rotax-blog/item/77-rotax-912-fuel-pumps

Me too, I'm looking forward to the fly-camp season this year, I havnt done any decent adventures since covid as changes of aircraft, moving house etc have got in the way.

Lol, that's ridiculous and typically American. I think If I woke up and looked down at that ground sheet I'd probably fall over

I'm sure you've checked this already but does the problem track voltage on the bus?, I mean is happening when you have lower voltage?

I honestly get embarrassed by the behaviour of mankind in the 21st century

I have a DC headset that I had converted by ANR Man https://www.anrman.co.uk/ He uses one of the conversion kits. As I never did the conversion myself I can't comment on its fitting but in use I would say the Noise reduction is 80%-90% as good as the Bose A20 headset I also have. It also has the advantage that if the battery runs out then the passive noise reduction on the DC is far better than the Bose A20. When the battery runs out on the A20 its horrible

I've only 1 single hour of tuition in an R22, but was told by the instructor that you have literally a second or so to drop the collective on an engine out in the R22, the rotor inertia being so low. Apparently the R44 is a little more forgiving Coincidently I was watching an R44 doing practice autorotations today at Berrow and it all looked quite relaxed, but of course thats no indication of what was going on in the cockpit

I flew into Berrow today, a grass strip at the southern tip of the Malvern Hills. This was parked up and being readied for flight. an Early Lynx Helicopter one of I believe 2 on the UK Civil register, the Lynx once held the world speed record for helicopters due in large part to its Rotor design with the B.E.R.P. tips a feature much copied since.

Buying isnt a problem of course. Good luck

Go to the USA? have you thought this through?😁 Re: Hiring a part 103 aircraft I'm doubtful that you'd find anywhere to do that, USA is an immensely litigious society
