March 9th is the big day for Norwich Airport when Class D airspace is activated.

Details and Brief are available at Premier, but please read Yellow AIC 202/12, available from the NATS website.

The airspace change will be on the new 1/2 million charts due out on that date.

A brief note to remind all members that The IMC rating has to be VALID on 8th April 2012.

If you have a valid IMC rating on that date you will be allowed to keep it, and the implied privileges there of.

If not valid, you will lose it. EASA have not as yet advised of any IMC replacement, and that which is being rumoured, is a very poor substitute.

Please book a revalidation, or renewal test as soon as possible.

Those who wish to complete an IMC course will have to have their paperwork at The CAA, realistically in the last week of MARCH.

No IMC ratings will be issued after the 8th April.

To facilitate anyone who might be interested, we are offering a one off deal of 15 hours IMC flying training plus test flight, for £2850, this is all inclusive (VAT, landings), excepting the flight test fee.

The ground examination can be completed from a 3-day course, including exam at £200.

For those who have done some prior work, there is a 1 day “crammer” including exam for £100.

Remember all of this must be completed by 25th March, or very close to.
