Clothing
	Aircrew Jacket The UK’s favourite flying jacket was originally designed and produced for the requirements of one of the UK’s largest professional flying training schools, and many other flying schools, large and small have specified this jacket for staff and student use since then.
	AFE V-Neck "NATO" Sweater A long time favourite of both military and civilian pilots (plus public services and other aviation personnel), this 100% wool ribbed sweater features shoulder and elbow patches, velcro-fastening shoulder epaulette holders arm-mounted pen pockets.
Charts and Guides
	CAA 1:250 000 VFR Charts Large-scale charts depicting more surface topographical detail than the 1:500 000 series. Airspace information to Altitude 5000 feet (FL50) only depicted.
	CAA 1:500 000 VFR Charts The most popular scale and format for VFR flight, available in 3 sheets to cover the UK.
	Europe VFR Charts 1:500 000 scale. Unlaminated (plain paper) suitable for marking with pencil. Supplied pre-folded.
	AERAD IFR Enroute Airways Charts for Europe AERAD enroute IFR navigation charts, combined high & low-level 'ENC' series. Charts are double-sided, e.g. North on one side, South on the other. The combined high and low altitude charts ease the transition to cruise altitude and the route oriented charts have been developed to reduce workload and improve readability on the most popular routes out of the Central European airspace.
	UK and Ireland VFR Flight Guides The very best airfield and VFR flight guides for the UK and Ireland, available in a variety of formats.
	Flying Training PPL Series. Since first publication in 1994, the PPL course series has become the standard reference for UK, and now European JAR, PPL courses. Acclaimed for their accuracy, clarity and user friendly approach, their comprehensive coverage of the subject makes them a favourite amongst student pilots and instructors alike. The PPL Course Series continues to be the most up-to-date PPL series available and is the only one that completely covers both the JAA PPL and NPPL syllabus.
Flight Bags and Cases
	Headset Bag Small, neat and smart, AFE’s headset bag is the best way to transport and protect your valuable headset without buying a full flight bag or case. There is a main compartment for the headset, an internal pouch for ear and mic covers and an external zip pocket big enough for a chart, checklist, kneeboard etc.
	Courier "Soft" pilot case Similar in size to a conventional square pilot case, but the soft-sided design makes this both lighter, and easier to stow in confined spaces.
	ASA Double Headset Bag A neat headset carrying case for 2 headsets from ASA, in black nylon offering a little extra protection to your headset.
	Touring Flight Case Features: Large main compartment, long enough for 16” scale rule. Reinforced base and wrap-under handle for strength & security. Double-zip and Velcro closure to the top for easy access. Two enlarged end-pockets, comfortably big enough for the bulkiest ANR head set with room to spare. Zip-closure document organiser pocket. Side zip closure pocket and separate, detachable GPS/Transceiver carry case. 2 fast-access map pockets.
	LC3 leather pilot case LC3, superior quality pilot case in black leather. The LC3 features a roll-top design with 2 combination locks, end pocket and folio-style side pocket with lock.
	LC5 Leather Professional Pilot Case With 2 end pockets for bits & pieces and combination locks for the top, together with a space for ID or luggage tag, this is a most distinctive, good-looking, yet ultimately extremely practical pilot case.
GPS

	Garmin GPSMAP 495 An exciting new addition to Garmin's aviation portable line-up, the GPSMAP 495 contains all the features of the award-winning GPSMAP 496 but without City Navigator.
