Texantomcat, “Blue Max is not the airfield management”, I was not to know that when I asked the question. Yes I have written to the management to ask, I have not had a reply.

I know why some have been banned, but not all. If I knew the answer, I would not be asking the question. The CFI was banned because he worked for the said organisation, not because he owed money. Hardly a friendly thing to do.

I would agree with your comment on airfield finances, makes the banning of pilots even more difficult to understand.

My problem is with Sywell telling everyone it is friendly, but readily banning pilots from its airfield. Some of which have then been refused access to their aircraft, although there has been no financial dispute, and do not belong to any company owing money to Sywell (e.g. Bose x). But no satisfactory reason is ever put forward to explain why.

Sorry Blue Max but you started the slanging match by inferring I was lying, all I did was ask why 17 pilots have been banned from a ‘friendly’ airfield. You mention a certain organisation have been banned over an argument about money. So why was Bose X banned, what about a certain CFI who has trained pilots at Sywell for more than 20 years. He doesn’t owe Sywell any money, he doesn’t even have his own aircraft hangared at Sywell, but has still been banned. For the record, I have seen the letter that banned him, no hearsay or gossip, fact.

You have chosen to slag me off as your defence, but will not answer the questions raised, but choose to “not say anything further on the matter.”

Moggy C, why was that the answer you were looking for? When it is completely untrue. It can be argued only one person had a dispute about money, and it was nothing to do with him owing hangar fees for his aircraft. That still leaves 16 others.
Why do you believe Blue Max when he will not explain why pilots get banned from Sywell? I have heard from another pilot today who was threatened in a letter from Sywell to be banned, he no longer resides at Sywell, thought it better to leave before being banned. So the the Sywell Banned Club could have been 18.

All except the 17 banned ones.

If the airfield is so friendly why has Sywell BANNED 17 pilots from using Sywell? I know no other airfield that has banned this many people.

From an American forum
“Boy, remember the good old days (last month) when Mogas was cheaper than Avgas? $3.42 @ SS for 100LL here at LAL. $3.45 for 93 across the street from the FBO”

Our price works out at US$8.70 for a US gallon, and they are moaning. I wish I could fill the Yak at that price!

Our wonderful CAA have issued a MPD regarding the airframes. This means once the limit is reached you need permission from Yakovlev to continue to fly. We have carried out all the work required by Yak, applied for the extension last Oct, paid them $1000 this March, and we have yet to receive the necessary approval. Summers here and we are grounded. 😡

Are you being a bit harsh, as he is from Belgium would he know 0500 354 802? If you sit and read the Notams at the airfield, pages and pages, trying to find some that are relevant on your route, it is easy to miss something relevant before you fall asleep.
