My Top 10 Aviation iPad / iPhone Apps
I haven’t done much flying lately due to weather and finances, nothing new there… But I do still keep a close eye on the current technology and gadgetry. I often get asked which are my most used applications on the iPhone and iPad so I decided to make a quick list.
I’m still a student (hoping to [...]
Mystique (3.x) Photo Gallery Headers
I finally got round to updating to the new Mystique theme (3.1) for my Website.
After a brief read around the web, I was slightly concerned by the number of difficulties folks seem to be having with the transition. I’ll be honest I found it all straight forward, but I did do quite a lot of research [...]
Dropbox – Why Aren’t You Using It?
Remember the days when your associates would attempt to send you a file attached to an email? It sometimes took hours to download, clogged up your entire internet bandwidth and then after all the anticipation, the file would be a joke or picture than you could have found yourself if you were really [...]
360 Degrees of the AirField
Today I was lucky that circumstances came together allowing me to get in an hour of circuit training with instructor Barry Davis.

Friday 17th September – The weather was finally good enough to allow me to head out solo to land at Humberside.
After completing this exercise with instructor Peter last week, I felt pretty confident that I would be able to manage this one on my own. Especially with all that extra space on the [...]
QR Codes – Decoding the Box
I made a minor discovery this morning before starting work in the studio. Something quite interesting, geeky and possibly useful too. It reminded me of some random time in my childhood, spent making codes with my school-friends that only we could read… Then trying to crack the ones that another [...]
Solo Navigation
Today I completed my first ever solo journey out of the local airfield vicinity. I have done a fair amount of solo flying but up until now, only in the circuit at Sherburn. This means plenty of take-offs and landings but not much radio and navigation work. Today was the day when instructor Jonathan [...]
iNavigation
Friday, July 26 – Time for another section of navigation exercises from Sherburn. This time I had some technical testing and questions in mind as well as the actual navigation exercise. My questions – Does the GPS system that is built into the iPad work well enough to be used for navigation? And if [...]
