How about putting the Su29 on the IOM or Guernsey registers
try speaking to the people that run these registers i understand they accept FAA stuff.

My base airfield in the U.K. prefers overhead joins because it gives time to scan the circuit and merge safely into the traffic pattern. My recent instructor renewal long briefing was all about the correct method to conduct an overhead join. On my return home I encountered an aircraft doing it completely the wrong way so eyes out all the time in the circuit.

PLBs are less prone to accidental activation because they require several deliberate actions to activate. They can also be taken with you if having to ditch in the water. ELTs require an impact to activate and will stop working if the aircraft sinks. If you have both, great, but a PLB is the minimum.

Yes, I got it. The strange thing is that the form for the examiner report of the skill test and the proficiency check is the same... From my point of view it would just make sense to accept a skill test CPL/SE also for revalidation of the PIC SEP rating... but I will never have this issue again. Yes I solved it by having the examiner filling the form a second time to be the profichiency check - with regards to content it is nonsense IMHO.

Drone Infringement Safeguarding – ATS Traffic Display Video
Follow link to see video: https://airspace4all.org/drone-infringement-safeguarding-ats-traffic-di…
As part of the joint Airspace4All/NATS Drone Infringement Safeguarding Project, City Airport (Manchester Barton) was the venue for an evening flight programme on Sunday 18th August 2019 where a drone and three GA aircraft, all equipped with electronic conspicuity flew a carefully planned exercise of circuits and circuit joins in the Barton ATZ to evaluate the efficacy of ADS-B for drones in the real world GA environment.
The video clip of the Barton ATS ADS-B Traffic Display shows the one hour flight programme, which took place outside normal airfield opening hours, compressed into less than a minute. The drone, callsign PING02, flew within the bounds of the airfield and can be seen in the centre of the ATZ display on the right half of the screen.
The drone was configured to broadcast and receive ADS-B, making it electronically conspicuous to the GA aircraft while also receiving ADS-B traffic information on the three GA aircraft that were flown. The GA aircraft were also equipped with ADS-B In & Out so were capable of receiving traffic information on each other and the drones.
All the while Barton Information was providing an Aerodrome Flight Information Service aided by their ADS-B Traffic Display provided under the Airspace4All GA Airfield ATS ADS-B Traffic Display Trial.
The flight programme was researching the use of ADS-B for drones in the GA environment, gathering information on the reliability and range of drone ADS-B broadcasts and visual acquisition by GA pilots. The flight programme was undertaken by Barton ATS staff (who are also GA pilots) plus EJS Aerial (drone pilot) supported by Barton ATS, Airspace4All and NATS R&D. ADS-B equipment for the drones has been kindly loaned by uAvionix. We aim to publish the report on the Drone Infringement Safeguarding Project by the end of October 2019.
