I was going to post this notebook individually, but have since decided to post a link instead.

Currently revising for the above ACT certificate. Why I am taking this is for another post (actually to be updated in this post, at a later stage); this post is just to notify any readers that the next series of blogs will be some notes for this exam.  The contents are attributable to the ACT and FME Training, they have been edited and put together by myself (any errors are more likely to be mine). Hopefully others may find them of use for there own studies. The posts generally focus on the written elements of the examination, the calculation elements of the exam are best tackled in full through your ACT and FME Training notes directly.   Of course the notes that will or may be published are only notes and are not all encompassing.  So reader beware, your own hard work and study cannot be substituted.

The remaining 20 units will be spread around the company’s 13 other UK branches during the first quarter of the year. The ECR88D is a 10-tonne compact excavator. Charles Wilson Engineers has eight tonne Bobcats and JCBs and 13-tonne JCBs in its fleet. The Volvos were supplied by dealer Capital Plant Solutions with hydraulic quick hitches. Deciding to purchase Volvo compact excavators for the first time and in significant numbers was a leap of faith for the company, according to general manager Damien West. “We were looking to augment our excavator fleet with a quality brand that could offer a sound return on our investment in terms of  total cost of ownership, reliabili

The urge is rearing its head again, aviation is an insatiable drug!  Over the last few days my mind gas been buzzing with thoughts of flying and how to make it pleasurable in this pleasant land set to the west of Europe. Ownership is high on my thoughts; a helicopter, which would be VFR friendly and suitable for short hops around England, or maybe a fixed wing to adventure around Europe.  Of course the R44 is an obvious helicopter choice, but maybe the forthcoming Bell could be an option.  Currently the fixed wing options of a Cessna TT ( the old Columbia 400) or the Cirrus SR22T appeal more.  But is IFR flying in Europe a real option for a general aviation enthusiast? Could the aircraft generate any income through rental or training? Some thoughts for a future date.
