It’s #NationalApprenticeshipWeek2021 Want a change from the classroom and traditional classroom learning? More of a “hands on” kind of learner? If you are, then an apprenticeship could be a great alternative route into a career for you. Get qualified through “on-the-job” training

Infringements of the LTMA are a symptom of the needlessly large and complex design of the airspace. Oppressive altitude limits imposed on #GeneralAviation traffic pose their own safety risks. @UK_CAA needs to make cutting LTMA down to size a priority in its classification review.
Airspace Safety @airspacesafety Latest hot-spot narrative focuses around the London Control Area (LTMA) - made up of 24 different areas across a volume of airspace approximately 100 NM from West to East and, in some areas, 90 NM from North to South: airspacesafety.com/updates

This morning @mhclg published its proposal to overhaul the planning system. It is vital that airfields are not considered for housing development as ‘growth’ sites in accordance with Para 104f of the National Planning Policy Framework. Info here: gov.uk/government/news/launc…

Interesting to see the ‘Hangar Homes’ concept for Solent Airport. Whatever form it takes, allowing airfields to diversify through sensible mixed-use developments is an important way to safeguard flying sites for the future. flyer.co.uk/hangar-homes-app…

A positive change in regulations from @UK_CAA, opening up opportunities for newer, high performance microlights in the UK. Particularly good to see strong engagement with the #GeneralAviation community evidenced by high number of consultation responses.
Information for General Aviation Pilots & Aircraft Owners New designs of aeroplane's and helicopters weighing between 450kg and 600kg will move from European Aviation Safety Agency to UK Civil Aviation Authority regulations. ow.ly/YvIR50A8WEF
