On Saturday the club was involved with the Aviation Without Borders Kids Flying Day for the fourth year in a row. Twenty nine children from various backgrounds had the opportunity to fly in a light aircraft for the first time. A huge thanks go to our small team of volunteers who took the time to fly the kids and also to the airport fire and rescue service who brought their appliances round.

Glasgow and Edinburgh airports are introducing listening squawks from 2nd April, which should only be used within 20nm of each airport. For Glasgow squawk 2620 with Mode C and listen out on 119.100, and for Edinburgh squawk 0440 with Mode C and listen out on 121.200. As with all listening squawks remember that using it does not clear you into controlled airspace, and does not mean you are receiving an ATC service. And don't forget to change back to 7000 when leaving the area or changing frequency...
