Thank you to Simon Smith and Ferg for your contributions to this - Simon
for the UK facts, and Ferg for your very amusing "ha'porth" re fields,
etc!
Part of the impetus for the very successful UK action by Charles
Strasser was an event involving the then chairman of our Flying Farmers
Association. He set off to fly from Scotland to his home airstrip, with
a good forecast, but when he arrived there was fog on his hill and he
diverted to Humberside, much lower and about 5 miles away. He was
charged =A3400 for that landing (C182), because officially it was outside
published hours, although the airfield was still open for a late public
transport flight.
Insurance. Weeks ago I promised to report my improved insurance. For the
same hull value, I have had a 20% reduction in premium, much wider
geographical coverage, and MOD indemnity all included. Jennings, as
brokers, came up with this - and Hayward are the underwriters.
Happy flying!

David,
I had a similar experience. My insurance renewal last October included a
22% reduction in premium also with a much larger coverage, MOD indemnity and
the extra 3rd party cover for Germany and Sweden - albeit with a slightly
reduced hull value. Again, Jennings was the broker and Haywards the
underwriters. I sent them a reduced quotation from Traffords - seemed to
work!
regards,
Mike

Brian,
As Paul said, the NACA inlet on the side of the cowling is for the 914.
According to Andy Draper, for 912S it should be closed off (if you don't
use it for e.g. fresh air inlet to the cockpit), because otherwise the air
through it "competes" with the cylinder cooling air (coming in at the front)
in getting out through the rather limited outlet areas in the back and thus
reduces the cylinder cooling.
Regards,
Svein

Hi Svein,
Thanks for the information. I've just read the 912s engine installation
manual from end to end and there's no reference to this duct being NOT
required. More time wasted unnecessarily! Andy, if your reading this
please give it a mention if you revise the manual! In the meantime thanks
for those of you who have enlightened me, it's moments like this where this
forum is worth it's weight in gold!! I'll remove it and replace it with a
much smaller inlet for my fresh air vents on the panel.
Cheers
