Join in the circuit or not???? by
Herbie
As a newly qualified ppl(h) UK based I am now starting to visit new
airfields for the first time.
Often I could easily land without going anywhere near the circuit.
This can sometimes benefit other traffic but what do experienced
pilots do?
Do you always join in the circuit?

The Schwiezer crash in Texas by
Bart
Anybody hear what caused the engine out in that?
The video was pretty spectactular. The pilots were interviwed on TV, and
from my perspective the PIC did a pretty nice job given the amount of wires
he had to navigate around.

PPL(H) Hours 4.5 to 5.9 by
Simon Robbins
It's typical... as I look out my window right now, at 6PM there's a bright
blue, calm and cloudless autumn sky. Perfect flying weather. When I turned
up at the airport this morning it was raining, 8/8 cloudbase at 300 ft, with
about 1 mile horizontal visibility. No good. I was about to turn...

Surviving with a broken pitch link by
Oliver Kunze
Hi,
I am wondering what the consequences of a broken rotating pitch link of a =
4-bladed rotor will be. From my understanding, the free-to-pitch blade will
eventually come to a high angle of attack that the airloads will crush its

Why are so few gyrocopters developed? by
Joachim Colling
To me the gyrocopter principle seems to be much cheaper (and safer?)
