Nigel Jackson from Belfast City ATC is proposing a Pilot Forum. In his own words:

"This would be all inclusive from student, microlighters,  PPL to CPL and hopefully some military involvement as well. The theory is that a night is organised with a representative from ATC, commercial airline and perhaps an instructor as well and a topic set for discussion which is then given over to all present to discuss and hopefully provide some learning points for everyone."

This would probably be held at the flying club.

In order to move forward Nigel would like to gauge the level of interest from club members. If you are interested then please email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it

A wide range of food is served including sandwiches, frys, fish and chips, stew, burgers, kebabs as well as weekly specials. Some of the comments already posted in our discussion forums:

"I often accompany my wife when she comes for lessons, and now I can stuff my face with this lovely food and admire the view while she is flying! The coffee is excellent and I really enjoyed the tuna melt yesterday and the fish and chips will hopefully become legendary!" - Sameer

"I don't think there'll be be much trouble for you guys to drum up business if the quality and quantity of the food is anything to go by" - Ray 'Scrabo 63' Brown
