An on-line resource for General Aviation pilots.

CAE (UK)'s Business Aviation Training Centre at Burgess Hill, West Sussex has recently completed the construction of 8 new simulator bays, with excellent classroom and training facilities, within a modern and very friendly team environment.

The Company is actively recruiting for ground and flight training for several types of business jet, including the Bombardier Global Express (see photo). As they will train you to instruct on the aircraft, you don’t need any previous experience on type – or as an Instructor!

Minimum requirements are 1,500 hrs multi-engine time; to hold, or have held, a professional pilot licence, and that you meet the overall level of experience needed to qualify as a Synthetic Flight Instructor (SFI).

The Great War Display Team   The  First World War, raged from 1914 to 1918, and saw the development of air power from small beginnings to the vital tool of any battle that it was to become.  The aircraft used were designed without the benefit of aerodynamic knowledge, were primarily made of wood and fabric, and were driven by unreliable and underpowered engines - the petrol engine only being some 20 to 30 years old in 1914.

These years are now recreated by the Great War Display Team.  In an exhilarating display of some 12 to 15 minutes, the sky is filled with up to 10 aircraft as the allied aircraft tussle with their German counterparts for control of the air. Bombs are dropped and aircraft shot down, departing the scene trailing smoke. The whole exciting spectacle takes place immediately in front of the crowd, and the aircraft are in sight and sound throughout the display - never being more that 1,000 metres from display centre.

The Historic Aircraft Association (HAA) was founded in 1979, with the aim of furthering the safe flying of historic aircraft in the UK and, later on, supporting the restoration and preservation of these aircraft.  The Association, which currently has around 150 active pilot and engineer members, has made a major contribution to General Aviation, ensuring that British flying heritage is kept alive by promoting the safe flying of valuable, historic and heritage aircraft.  Visit their new website at http://www.haa-uk.aero/
