Confirmed

The future is for discovering... happy new year!

I'd be up for a day on the planks Angus but can't make 31st.

Have a good day!

I have no idea if this is possible but she e-mailed me to tell me she has just flown off the top of chamonix and is going to start learning. What do you think Graeme?? Christine ccd me into the email . Sounds like she did a tandem from the top of mt blanc and is also in contact with Ronnie about EP...

Maybe invite Christine to a club meeting to find out more about how the club can best go for this?

Paid mine now too.

Interesting read - passionate, to the point and well written.

Awful weather on its way - but the website is canny

Really enjoyed a good chilled out Xmas bash! Cheers to Colin and family for all your efforts. And big congratulations to all award winners! There was some paperwork flying about too! Letters to the duke, calendars and crackers😃 The safety sense leaflet is great! Really like the style and context in ...

2 for me please thanks

I saw that on Garys facebook - great article - well done Ron - you deserve all the plaudits you get!

Ii'm going to imagine I'm filled with helium from now on too

Gary I spoke with Christine Nichol earlier today re work related stuff and mentioned your broken mug - and that you bought the ginger beard pom pom hat she knitted too - so she's kindly offered to replace the mug. I'll collect it from her Wednesday and get it over to you next time we catch up

Aye I ended up buying my own suede jacket back 😃 All in the best interests of Nhpc of course. It was a good night. Please can I ask that Helen H is advised of the amount raised by community action Northumberland so she can send Christine nichol a thank you email. Christine actually knitted Gary's ha...

Hi Andrew I'll ask if there's any room at the Inn - are you definite or just interested?

Apparently the Bhpa pilots handbook has all the info you need to pass cp and p rating exams. You can Borrow mine but it's probably a better idea to get one of your own - maybe at the suction tomorrow? Or on eBay.

There are also mock exams online

Mushrooms and Turkey cheers no dessert

(Booked)

Oh well that's that idea well and truly dumped 😃 It was just for discussion and only occurred to me as I considered some of the several borderline influences on pilots deciding to fly or not to fly. I notice North Yorks club categorise their sites suitability according to hours flown - Sutton bank 2...

Cheers - nice quick and easy way to buddy up with someone and agree or disagree if it's safe to fly. So to fly or not to fly - that is the question. But the answer on the day is perhaps a bit more complex? If it's clearly good to fly then great everyone launches. If it's completely blown out then no...

Thought provoking stuff and good revision. God forbid any of us ever need to do first aid but if we do this podcast covers all the key considerations.

A club scene management / first aid course every now and again would be money well spent!

Chaps - I made an executive decision to stay in central Edinburgh just around the corner from Waverley station. This means we have only the one taxi to book for our trip to the airport in the morning. We have a 6 berth dorm sleeping the 5 of us - very cosy don't forget your ear plugs. Prices for B&a...

http://freeflightacademy.com/events/italy-abruzzo-2015/ I'm just back from another well organised week with Lee and Akis in Morocco. Conditions were too stable for any epic flying nevertheless we still managed to fly everyday, plenty of groundhandling practice and got my brand new crispy glider abso...

Homework done Ali - Interesting little exercise! Do we bring our answers with us tonight? Or put our risk assessment scores online?

All these debates seem completely dominated by old sweats, experienced pilots so I thought I'd throw my two pennyworth in. Firstly - I'm struggling with the auction but I'll be going anyway just for the craic - I've got nowt left to sell (apart from a few old clothes I should really be donating to t...

Shit happens

Go for it Luis! If it's doable - and safe - why not?

Aren't 1 & 4 almost identical?

Both these tracks moreorless hug the coast line and don't cross over water?

I don't know this area and cant judge height flown - but looking at wind direction is their any risk of rotor when flying just inland behind the coast?

The club can / should discuss its ongoing safety culture and standards in depth anytime at any meeting. Even on this site there is a debate forum dedicated to the subject that everyone can contribute to not just at meetings. It would be good to know what the aims and objectives of a safety discussio...
