Flyer UK - 02.2019

FLYER is the UK’s brightest and most-read General Aviation title counting Paul Bonhomme, Dennis Kenyon, Ian Seager and Justin Cox among our award-winning writing team. Led by editor and brilliant aviation photographer Ed Hicks, we're passionate about flying and feature everything from piston twins through Very Light Jets, while covering vintage aircraft alongside cutting edge prototypes. We pride ourselves on our independence and on the quality of our writing and photography, all of which explains why FLYER has more exclusives than any other GA magazine in the UK.

***In this month’s issue of FLYER: - Famous for creating fast, efficient singles, Mooney Aircraft has added a second door, Garmin NXi avionics and a plush interior to create the Acclaim Ultra. Paul Bertorelli flies the fastest four-place certified, single-engine piston you can buy today... - After leaving the Red Arrows, Ben Murphy turned to the Red Bull Air Race for his adrenaline fix. 2018 saw him move to the Master Class as the sole Brit, and what a year it’s been! He talks to Dave Calderwood about the season's highs and lows. - In First Solo, we talk to David Monks, the new chairman of the Royal Aero Club, and find out that while he got to the point of making his solo hover pretty quickly, his first solo helicopter circuit, took a few hours longer to accomplish.- While the development of technology that can help keep us safe continues at a steady pace, in Accident Analysis, Joe Fournier points out that sometimes our willingness or understanding of it means we might not use it when it can most help us. Plus, Top Gear tests an EASA-Certified engine monitor that allows owners to swap one old-school round analogue engine gauge for a multi-function digital replacement. PLUS: - Save £57 with six fantastic free landings! - Great columns from Matt Dearden, Mark Hales and Ian Seager. - All the latest news.***
