I will check on the progress of this process - tens of thousands are to go out - when I attend the CAA's General Aviation Consultative Committee on Tuesday 11 March, and will then report back to this forum; do not expect this report before Friday 14 March, due to my other commitments.

Hi friends, As known the Germans do things always direct and immediately. We have to install the Mode S transponder right now ' in UK it is law in 2010. About thirty years ago I made my BZF1 (English version of the =93deutsches Sprechfunkzeugnis=94). I have used it very seldom, but received from my government in Feb. 08 the > Attestation of ICAO-Language proficiency based on Annex 1, Chapter 1.2.9 to the Convention on International Civil Aviation < > Hereby it is confirmed that Bruno Reith, date of birth: **.**.** has demonstrated the ability to speak and understand the English Language for radiotelephony communication at the Operational Level (Level 4). < In other words, it=92s allowed for me to speak English. Have great fun. Best Regards, Bruno Reith _____ Von: owner-europa-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-europa-list-server@matronics.com] Im Auftrag von C Richardson Gesendet: Freitag, 7.

Not sure if you have or intend to use ANR headsets, but you may run into issues there with the headset/ANR canceling back out the tone you generate. I am interested in the result if you go this option as i am not up to that bit yet. regards Craig Visit - www.EuropaOwners.org ________________________________ Message 6 _____________________________________ Time: 04:24:33 AM PST US From: TELEDYNMCS@aol.com Subject: Europa-List: Re: Mod to Pilot " But it still makes me mad that we have to prove our ability to speak our own language." Hello Alan, I believe it was George Bernard Shaw that said: "England and America are two countries separated by a common language" Perhaps the FAA wants to make sure you know how to speak American? Now, if they'd extend that rule to the folks streaming across our southern border things would certainly improve, since our gubmint isn't going to do squat to stop them from coming here illegally. I do get very tired of having to "Push 1 for English" in a country where English is the primary language......

I packed the bushes with thin strips of timber to give about 1mm of total clearance but it still thumps when moved from side to side. I have concerns about going too tight here in case it wants to bind through a steep turn or similar. I wonder if the cables are not a better way to go. :roll: regards Craig Visit - www.EuropaOwners.org ________________________________ Message 9 _____________________________________ Time: 01:14:18 PM PST US From: "karelvranken" Subject: Re: Europa-List: Re: Mod to Pilot Gentlepeople, Please be happy that you don't have to learn a foreign language. Even in your countries you have to learn a bit of radiocommunication uses. The upset is to limit the vocabulary to 1500 words and standard phraseology for the exams. Don't be afraid that you have to go to Oxbridge for the accent and quote Shakespeare. You will be glad to hear your mothertongue as a standard in airspaces where until now also other languages are used.
