Version 4 of the Skyway Code is now available here.

The key updates to this version are:

• Key retained EU law for aviation.
• Updates to aeronautical information, including UK Flight Information Service (FIS) frequencies and Frequency Monitoring Codes.
• Updated operational guidance, including fuel management and crossing controlled airspace.
  
  The CAA have published a new Safety Sense Leaflet 32 providing guidance on reporting safety occurrences in GA operations in GA and related activity.
  
  Read it to make sure you understand when occurrence reporting is mandatory; even when not, you are encouraged to do so. Accidents and serious incidents must be reported to the AAIB.

Our November meeting will be a presentation from Keith Vinning of PilotAware on advances in electronic conspicuity interoperability. All welcome – let your flying friends know: BAWA 19:30 Tuesday November 7.

Another of the excellent Gasco safety evenings has been arranged for the 3rd October 2023 at the Bawa Club in Filton. Further details to be advised but all are welcome.

We will be enjoying listening to Jeremy Liber talking about his flying experiences, leading from a PPL to becoming a fully paid-up Hurricane pilot! Without wanting to eat all of Jeremy’s sandwiches, I can tell you that he learnt to fly on Tiger Moths at Cambridge, runs an aerospace consultancy specialising in design and certification, and has well over 2000 hrs in a very wide range of aircraft types.

To find out more, come along to BAWA Room 4, 19:30, 4^th April.

On Tuesday 7th February we will hear how in 2020, Fiona and Angus Macaskill achieved the Guinness World Record for the number of airfields visited in 12 hours.
