I didn't know I had been in my settings! When I regstered it asked me where I was...No - it doesn't do that automatically. You have to have put it into the "Location" field in your "Settings » Account Details".

I have read all the comment and I was making a general statement, OP'S in general not this particular oneSomeone hasn't read all the comments before posting his ?
It was made quite clear that it was posted in the United Kingdom section in comment #6 above. There's even a link there to check it out.
They don’t run everything!?!? ?Darn Americans, think they run everyting. Lol
I totally agree with your post about being aware before you answer with regulations that do not pertain. However I totally disagree with your comment about most people having location in their profile. So many do not and give scant details in posts so it's a guessing game. So it's a two-sided issue. Some don't read before answering and others don't provide enough details to give a valid answer.
Being a relatively new flyer based in Munich, where regulations are fairly easy, I was looking into the laws for flying in Austria, and seriously couldn't believe it when I read about the cost of the annual permit. Nuts!Here is Austria for example, anything weighting more than 250gr needs an annual state permit with cost of 300+ EUR.
Beat that!!!
Actually looking forward to the EU framework being implemented, can’t be worse than that.
No the Chinese do.They don’t run everything!?!? ?
I have always thought that it would be a GREAT idea for the forum rules to REQUIRE a location. At the very least, the COUNTRY and STATE because, as you said, there are such a variety of rules and regulations based on location.
They should require a country (anything else optional) That would solve a lot of problems in the forums otherwise I reserve the right to ask "are you local or somewhere overseas like the USA? " .
Just up the Trent from me... I am actually up the Dove (not duff!), but it runs into the Trent.
Now, I love you folks over the pond. One of my best friends in the world is from California, and I lived in New Hampshire for a while a few years ago. So, this isn’t intended to upset anyone.
Today I’ve seen replies on three completely different threads quoting US/FAA rules and regulations where the OP isn’t even in the US (UK in these instances). In all three posts the OP had either mentioned they were in the UK, or had the UK as their location in their profile.
This forum is made up of people all over the planet. Most people have their location in their profile, or mention where they’re flying.
I'm sure everyone is trying to be helpful, but given the differences in laws, let’s check before we answer? ??
Edited as my original post maybe didn’t read as friendly as I’d like.
Well I agree with the fact that most questions get answered and it is not often UK is that relevant. If it is then surely just say UK in the post. There is another problem with what you mention as well. if you look at your profile. the only part of your location I see (chrome browser PC) is Yorkshire,. so I wouldn't wouldn't know if that is Yorkshire UK or Yorkshire USA... Most English towns have a US counterpart. And what about the folk that post in here that aren't even on the same planet...Now, I love you folks over the pond.

New England? Is there a New and Old part of England...not sure where that is? Or maybe that's where the "Patriots" live?I'm from New England. I can just imagine how confusing that may be to some......
Just to confuse things there is a New England in Australia as well.New England? Is there a New and Old part of England...not sure where that is? Or maybe that's where the "Patriots" live?
