@lner When does the trolley service stop in First Class between London and Scotland? #dyingofthirst

[Hamish Mitchell @hamishonfloats]

@LNER They should have a direct twitter @

@LNER Currently on the 1400 Edinburgh to Kings Cross. No wifi available in First Class. What's the problem?

[Hamish Mitchell @hamishonfloats]

Seems to be fixed now. Thanks.

@GarminAviation I am being interviewed for article in FT and GQ about my plan to fly transatlantic. Do I tell them it's been on hold for 4 years awaiting GFC500 approval, or is there an 'O' date? Fancy using GDRAM to certify it?

[Hamish Mitchell @hamishonfloats]

@GarminAviation Thanks for the quick response. You do get my point about them all being on the same TCDS?

[Hamish Mitchell @hamishonfloats]

@jason_spinks @DrRupertM @AngusMacNeilSNP @FlyLoganair @UK_CAA LOC only is still ILS. EGNOS may still "be there" but I'd like to see your defence to the CAA using an uncertified LPV minima.

[Hamish Mitchell @hamishonfloats]

@DrRupertM @AngusMacNeilSNP @FlyLoganair @UK_CAA Dear "Dr", best check your facts. They have GPS RNP approaches at Tiree and Barra, but leaving EU has removed the EGNOS signal which means higher LNAV minima instead of LPV minima. There is ILS at Stornoway and VOR/NDB at Bennie. These are non-visual approach aids.

@GarminAviation You did it for the G5s ...

[Hamish Mitchell @hamishonfloats]

@GarminAviation Hi. Any news or updates on this please? The FR172K (which is approved and on your AML) is actually on the same FAA TCDS (A18EU)as the FR172E/F/G/H/Js. There is no technical difference to them. Is this just a paper exercise? I have now been waiting over 4 years.

@CameronMcNeish I'd be keen to help you do a documentary ... cracking viewpoint.

[Hamish Mitchell @hamishonfloats]

@CameronMcNeish In many places, it is a beautiful and very forgotten corner of Scotland. I feel privileged to visit frequently, and provide unique seaplane and adventure training in Bruce's old stamping grounds. I worry about bureaucracy and nimbyism trying to stamp everything out.

[Hamish Mitchell @hamishonfloats]

@ObanAirport @WeeDramSeaplane and many many others look forward to getting back to normality later this spring, but we REALLY need to be able to refuel ... how much longer is this going to take ? You will lose business if it is not sorted quickly. Already been waiting for 18months ...

[Hamish Mitchell @hamishonfloats]

[Hamish Mitchell @hamishonfloats]
