After eating biscuits for 4 weeks on my flight instructor course, it’s back to healthy eating and exercise. I’m sure the Piper Warrior let out a little “eek” when I climbed aboard… 😬🤣
Its been a long winter… roll on summer and some amazing flying, hopefully!

I do enjoy an Astral Aviation GA session…
⏳ 2 weeks to go…
📅 Wednesday 29 April 2026
🕢 19:30 BST
🌞 It started as a routine flight, then the weather changed ⛈
Now what?
Those moments can come quicker than you think and the decisions you make next really matter.
In this online workshop, aviation meteorologists Simon Keeling and Greg Brock will break down how weather evolves in the real world and how to respond when conditions don’t go to plan.
Practical interpretation. Better decision-making. More confidence when it counts.
