Flyer UK – August 2018

In this month’s issue of FLYER:

- Go time travelling with Thomas Borchert as he flies a fabulous re-creation of the Junkers F13 from 1919. The ‘mother of all modern airliners’ was the first to have an all-metal airframe, the new version is certified for the modern world, and you can buy one…

- Ever wondered what’s involved in becoming a Class Rating Instructor? David Kelly did, and before he knew it, he was heading to Andrewsfield to take the plunge…

- In First Solo, John Torode, the founder of Dynon Avionics and Vashon Aircraft found his first spin, from 6,000ft, to be much more memorable than his first solo flight.

- Just what does it mean to be in control? In Accident Analysis, Joe Fournier reasons that, when you’re talking about being in control during an emergency, it’s more a state of mind, one from which pilots must try to look past any distractions and manage an aircraft at the most basic level

- In Flying Adventure, Paul Kiddell and a fellow member of his EuroStar syndicate prove that you can have a lot of fun visiting some Scottish strips on a sunny day

- Ever wondered about making your own headset from consumer grade ANR headphones? With the OSEI Crystal Mic you can – but does it compare to purpose built headsets? Plus, Grypmat flexible tool trays and SEHT's light weight carbon-fibre headset also on test.
