Hi Richard,
The system has changed in the UK this year. Previously, the CAA notified
owners of any Mandatory Permit Directives or Emergency Permit Directives.
They now just stick them on their website and its up to you to find them!
They do offer an e-mail alerting service but you have to register to get it.
I would recommend everyone in the UK to sign up to this. Go to
http://www.caa.co.uk/default.aspx?catid=1443
<http://www.caa.co.uk/default.aspx?catid=1443&pagetype=90> &pagetype=90
The LAA "provide a service to their members" to alert them to any MPDs or
Emergency MPDS via the airworthiness alerts page on their website
<http://www.lightaircraftassociation.co.uk/engineering/engineering.html>
http://www.lightaircraftassociation.co.uk/engineering/engineering.html but
they dont appear to have a legal duty to do this.
I discovered all this because the UK CAA issued an Emergency Mandatory
Permit Directive , MPD No 2009-008 which refers to a batch of fire
extinguishers with contaminated gas in them. The MPD requires all owners to
check their fire extinguisher within two days of the effective date (26
November 2009). I wonder how many UK Europa owners know about this?
The other source for the Rotax 912S is http://www.rotax-owner.com/ This has
a link where you can put your engine serial number in and get all of the SB,
ADs etc applicable to your engine.
You probably knew all of this but it does no harm to repeat it.
Best regards
Brian Davies

Hi Guys.
I have been out of the country for a while and wondered if there have been
any Service Bulletins or Airworthiness Directives in 2009 I need to comply
with, before I can fly my tri gear with 912S again? Can't see anything on
the Europa or Rotax web sites.

Subject: | DOTH Turweston Sunday 13th |
Hi Folks,
Having been grounded for so long by the wind and rain, things have
settled down - albeit with morning fog.
If the fog clears in time, I hope to make Turweston ( hard runway,
voucher in Flyer ) on Sunday 13th. I usually say 1200ish, but I'll
get there when I can!
All the best, Paddy

Cheers,
Following the scuttlebutt on the above topic leads me to ask
what the relative number of dissolving of fuel tank s might be. Being a
very sloooow builder, I have to admit to a tank which goes back to 1998 and
may be a victim of such an effect.
If you have knowledge of any attack on the Olde tanks, I would
much appreciate it.
Happy landings

Cant comment on the ethanol attacking the tank, but ethanol will absorb a
virtually unlimited amount of water from the air over time.
once it reaches 1% saturation with water it will fall out of suspension with
the petrol forming 2 distinct layers, petrol on the top
as normal with water in the tank, which is why in most countries mogas WITH
ethanol is prohibited in aircraft. If you want to try it
and see for yourself put mogas with ethanol in a jar and add a couple of
drops of water and shake it up, leave it stand and it should
form two layers. Not many engines like running on 100% ethanol which is what
will happen if the two fuels separate in the tank.
