I received from you the drawings and explanation but the PFA approval itself was missing. I also know that it is linked to your aircraft but I am not a PFA member, nor I need their approval for my Europa F-PKRL. The french administration asks for "an approval" and then they will see if my construction conforms to it. They even will check the correspondence I had thereabout. So can you mail me the PFA document approving your installation? In the attachment you can see some photographs of my installation. (taken in september 2002) The finnishing of F-PKRL was stopped in may last year because I had the opportunity to build a hangar (30' x 40') for my hobby. Then we also were busy with the OO-145 which you have seen in Kemble where we met in july. Best wishes from Belgium.

I thought I had emailed this already with all the other details, but I may be mistaken. I have had a look at your pictures. The installation looks a neat one, and the hangar looks great.

In addition to drilling a small hole in the back of the ss vent per the manual, I have installed a small vapor check valve (from McMaster Carr) with a tee to the vent line such that in the event of complete blockage of the vent the check valve will open to relieve the vacuum that would otherwise be created.
