A recent article in Pilot Magazine highlighted headaches that some women experience who are not so tall, and unable to reach the rudder pedals in light aeroplanes. We wrote to their airmail section editor informing them that perhaps hand controls that pilots with lower limb disabilities use could be a solutions for those that are of limited height.

Before departing from Cranfield for Duxford, we heard that the Red Arrows would be flying overhead Cranfield at exactly 2pm local. The Senior Air Traffic Controller was on duty and he wanted to make sure that inbound traffic to Cranfield be on the ground by 1.30pm. We made it back by 1.20pm. The Red Arrows were flying from doing a show in Poddington to Oxford, for another show.

Dum Dum airport is a very odd little place in India. I particularly like their style of announcements as per this slideshow..you will need to have headphones or switch on your speakers.

During my week in Kolkata I talked alot about what it is like to fly light aeroplanes. During my flight home, i could not stop thinking about getting back in the air in the left hand seat of the PA28. My first call once i got back was to Terry at Cranfield and i booked his PA28.

Yesterday was such a beautiful day for flying. I chose to go on my own and enjoy spending some quality me time with myself and watching the world. My first time flying to Gloucester. The Landing fee was a bit steep but nevermind. I had planned to fly to Kemble, however due to the Royal International Air Tattoo, there was no way that i was going to get caught up in all the various restrictions in the NOTAMS. So i chose the diversion airfield for Kemble, which is Gloucester.
