A Visitor from DURBAN


A new friend, from Durban, recently came flying with me at Derby Aero Club in a Beagle Pup 150.
He owns and flies his own Cessna Citation - standby for some pictures soon.
We flew over many of the spectacular sights of the Peak District.
This little aircraft is a pleasure to fly with excellent handling characteristics. The visibility is also very good. We both enjoyed the flight. On pages 2 - 5 are some pictures of the cockpit.

ICAO Aeronautical Chart 1:500,000 Legend

It is not really practical to unfold an aeronautical chart in flight in order to read the legend. My answer to this issue is to photocopy the legend, re-organise it to into A5 size, and slip the pages into an A5 clearview plastic binder. Hopefully, having a copy of the legend from my "Handy Dandy" binder attached herewith will be useful for anyone interested.

Forced landings in light aircraft FEEDBACK

The feedback comments regarding forced landing a light aircraft were very positive. It is good to know that the method worked so well during a recent flight skills check.
