We are preparing a lavish, heavily subsidised BBQ to welcome you. Details attached. We would hope to find overnight accommodation for anyone flying in from abroad. Regards, David Joyce ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 12:56:49 AM PST US From: "Brian Davies" Subject: RE: Europa-List: Re: LAA/CAA IFR permission on europas Graeme, The first four aircraft in the trials do not include a Europa. Once the process has been agreed with the CAA, based on experience of the first four, we will be trialling a further group of ten aircraft and then making it a standard procedure. In order to be part of the trials someone has to be prepared to put their aircraft through a fairly expensive test flight evaluation in order to determine that the flight characteristics of the aircraft meet the requirements of EASA design code CS-23. The owner also has to be prepared to pay for a fair amount of simulated and actual IMC flying in order to evaluate the suitability of the equipment fit without any guarantee that they will get approval at the end of the process. So far, no Europa owner has come forward to take on this challenge.

It was unclear to me in the last LAA mag whether a Europa is still in the trials - I assume so. Whose is it and how is it doing I wonder? When I flew across the Irish Sea the other day I was glad of my IMC training and AH as the haze obliterated any real forward horizon for half an hour although to each side to the sea was clear. Tempted to ditch my steam DI for something more informed - although I don't want to be entirely GPS system dependent. -------- Graeme Bird G-UMPY Mono Classic/XS 912S/Woodcomp 3000/3W Newby: 150 hours 36 months on the Mono g(at)gdbmk.co.uk Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=444295#444295 ----- No virus found in this message.

What kind of amount of money are you talking about Brian? Is the simulated and actual IMC by the owner or someone else? Soon there must be a feeling for an acceptable level of instrumentation so that its not an entire waste of time? I am based close to Turweston maybe that would be an advantage? I have a AH, DI (vac) slip VSI etc and a couple of GPS's and an IMC rating am I likely to need loads more? -------- Graeme Bird G-UMPY Mono Classic/XS FFW 912S/Woodcomp 3000/3W Newby: 180 hours 4 years on the Mono g(at)gdbmk.co.uk Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=444345#444345 ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 01:11:45 PM PST US From: "Brian Davies" Subject: RE: Europa-List: Re: LAA/CAA IFR permission on europas Hi Graeme, You would have to talk to Andy Draper to get more detail. Although the Europa has not been specifically tested it is expected to be no problem on the flying qualities side but this has to be checked as first of type by an approved test pilot who expects to be paid. Most of the instrumentation issues arise from uncertified glass rather than a standard six pack. The Night/IFR team are developing a check list that can be used to assess the equipment suitability. Give Andy a call.
