We can not send application till we are ready in Spain to notify times etc. So response time is important. Does Jose know any contact in ANAC to check status of application.

From three years experience as an owner/operator here, all seems ok just so long as ATC and ANAC KNOW who you are, not that you were supposed to be here last week! Jose is suggesting 10 days minimum notice so I would do this before leaving the UK and don't let planned entry/exit dates spoil your trip. Prior to entry, file your flight plan by Skydemon (or other) and you can always phone Lisboa on 00351 218553341 who are very helpful and will confirm your plan. Hopefully this is not a big a deal as the Notam would imply, but I may say differently on my planned trip out to Uk in a couple of weeks.

The form gives the option of selecting Authorize or Notify in one box. I selected Authorize. Another box asks for Version of Ac? I put Class. A. The reference box i put my Ac reg. To save having the form returned can you let me know how your was successful. Will you be around last week of July??

From: "Dave Disney" For reasons I won't mention here yet, I did a wheel up landing last week. I was able to switch the engine off before landing so the engine isn't shock loaded, but one of the Warp Drive blades 'dug in' and failed. The aircraft sustained very little other damage, just some damage to the lower cowl and a severed rudder cable. To save time, does anyone have a set of standard none tapered Warp Drive Blades available suitable for use with a Rotax 912S ?
