@lauralaban @MrIMNegative My other fave French nuances: steady = level , set course = direct, go to = direct, bonjour = standby

@simonfewkes83 @AbbigaleAustin @ChristinaC_gl We missed you 😂

[Bat Pilot @t25bear]

All the best folks on Xitter were at Gloucester today @AbbigaleAustin @ChristinaC_gl

@the19772 @Nickel23Matt Threads for a bunch of us…

[Bat Pilot @t25bear]

Time to check out of Xitter … lots of us are somewhere stitching 🧵’s.

@cmcknz77 There is some evidence that turbulence in flight is increasing due to climate change. Equally forecasting where it will occur is improving. Turbulence outside of significant weather can be uncomfortable but not dangerous. Wear your seatbelt when seated 👍

[Bat Pilot @t25bear]

@cmcknz77 It can be damped out of course but that is already done and passenger flights only get into any significant turbulence by chance as significant weather is always avoided.

[Bat Pilot @t25bear]

@cmcknz77 Air is essentially a fluid and fluid dynamics apply, but it is more difficult to comprehend. However if you start to think about how you’d stop a ship moving on waves you quickly get close to the “let’s work on time travel as a new product” thinking.

@avgasaddiction Likewise Mark, I am posting very little here. There is some slow traction with the aviation community over on Threads. Platform is still developing but it’s quite pleasant to be there.

#wingfriday sun setting over Greece tonight

[Bat Pilot @t25bear]

@simonfewkes83 Please do, would be great to fly with you. Happy to use either something your rent or I have access to the DA40/42’s. The TB10 should also be back online very soon and can be very cost effective. 😁 I also have a proper brief and notes to take away.

[Bat Pilot @t25bear]

Fist leg of the day complete. Now to get some fuel and head to La Rochelle 👍

[Bat Pilot @t25bear]

Brize to left of me and Oxford to the right, stuck in the middle with Josh! Even got a Solent transit at our preferred route and level.

It seems by the time we landed they had realised that it was a very quite day for incoming submissions and twigged to look at the email!

[Bat Pilot @t25bear]

OnlineGAR is currently OfflineGAR… this should make for an interesting morning… 😬

[Bat Pilot @t25bear]

This caused carnage! Despite having submitted by email Border Force tried to call while we were airborne having seen the flight plan but not checked the email platform for the form. Left a bunch of increasingly “pissy” messages…

[Bat Pilot @t25bear]

@rsmck Looks a bit shonky eh…

[Bat Pilot @t25bear]

Yup … done a manual one, thankfully have my bigger iPad with me and Excel
