Hi Peter, Thanks for the message. Have you flown there in the past 3 years? Apparently the rules have changed. Is Lasham an enjoyable place to fly, or is it just too busy? Regards, Marc

We got a report from an OLC user who was having trouble uploading files to OLC. He traces the problem to the AOL firewall on his system. Here is his report: "I found it, it is because of a AOL firewall that comes on blocking the upload to the OLC. AOL doesn't tell me it is doing it, and I had...

I've tried my best to find out if this is a club policy or a FAR thing. Is it a reg that an instructor must see the student pilot's birth certificate or passport in order to give instruction? If someone comes here from overseas, am I allowed to instruct them? ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com -...

Remarkably valuable material is available these days on wikipedia. But I've got problems with this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microburst text. Sailplaners will have a good understanding of natural air flow. This text seems to suggest that you can take an unenclosed 'parcel' of air, and...

Hi, I have always strived to make my web site a valuable resource for glider pilots. Along those lines, I'm a big collector of soaring and aviation related books. I have been having a lot fun adding these books to my online store. Reading soaring books gets me through the long winter months...

Hello, Interested in a summer camp in Zell am Zee next year - Can't find any contact on the Web. Who could help ? Thanks Jean

Well folks, I am out here in Warner Springs, enjoying Region 12 South. Today, as you can see on the SSA website, some folks put down some speeds. We even had the towpilots go up in a Grob twin, and end up with 1143 guest points. Ya, they had the best times of their life. When I came...

Hi, I know there is a forum for this, but I am after other comments from pilots in this group who may have flown the aircraft or own one? /daveb
