I visited Istanbul a few years ago. It's a very interesting city full of history and ancient architecture.

Jump to postHi all,
I am working towards my LAPL. I am nearly ready to solo but I haven't done all of my ground exams yet.
Does anyone know if there's a requirement to pass the Air Law ground exam prior to flying solo under LAPL regulations?
Cheers

A classic but always good!
Control tower to a 747: "United 329 heavy, your traffic is a Fokker, one o'clock, three miles, Eastbound."
United 239: "Approach, I've always wanted to say this... I've got the little Fokker in sight!"
