Good morning Ivor,
thank you for your reply, we'll do the work with due diligence, as you suggested.
Out of interest - where did you buy the Brass or Aluminium reducers?
The MOD on the engine mounting frame is carried out, since my Europa was on the
G-Register until 2011, so subject to the LAA maintenance scheme.

Dear Europa community,
on another forum I came across this problem dawning on the EASA-horizon:
https://www.euroga.org/forums/student-pilots/5243-uk-caa-allows-ab-initio-training-on-annex-2-and-easa-bans-it-april-2018-and-annex-2-hours-to-no-longer-count-towards-easa-licenses-merged?page=6
As it looks currently, this may hugely affect tnose (including myself) who fly
exclusively with Annex 2 aircraft on an EASA license.
If it comes through, we were forced to rent an EASA-aircraft at least for the 12
hours required for the license renewal.

Hi Roland
The UK CAA have said this will not happen, three countries have put forward objections
and the general view is that certainly France would not be happy with
this.

PPL?
Hi Tim,
thank you.
However - and this is an information from 3rd march on a german forum:
EASA NPA 2014/28 / FCL.035(a) (2):
When flight time is completed during flights operated in the same class or type
of aircraft falling under points (a), (b), (c) or (d) of Annex II to Regulation
(EC) No 216/2008, it shall be given full credit for the purpose of issue, revalidation
or renewal of a licence, rating or certificate.
French DGAC stated:
France supports the proposed draft for crediting hours performed on Annex II aircraft.
Nevertheless in the same time France considers that the recognition shall
be extended to allow the conduct of all skill tests (for the purpose of issuance/renewal
of a Part FCL licence, rating, certificate), proficiency checks
(for the purpose of revalidation of a Part FCL licence, rating, certificate)
and assessment of competences (for the purpose of issuance/renewal/revalidation
of Part FCL instructor/examiner certificates) on Annex II aircraft ((a), (b),
(c) and (d)) as long as the aircraft used is correctly fitted for performing
all relevant exercises during the practical examination as required by Part FCL.
It is not logical to credit Annex II hours in full for the purpose of the issuance
of Part FCL licence, rating, and certificate and in the same time not authorizing
the conduct of the practical exam on such Annex II aircraft.
To support this comment it should be noted for example that Appendix 4 B) (1) states
that for a CPL(A) skill test : The aeroplane used for the skill test shall
meet the requirements for training aeroplanes, [...].
Therefore as long as the Annex II aircraft is meeting the requirements for training
it is possible to use it for the skill test.
EASA Comment Response Document (CRD):
Not accepted
When the content of Annex II to the Basic Regulation was developed, Member States
specifically wanted to exclude the aircraft referred to therein from the scope
of the Regulation and its implementing rules. When proposing to accept hours
flown on some Annex II aircraft, EASA considered that also hours flown on third-country
registered aircraft would be credited for revalidation. Accepting
the use of AnnexII aircraft to obtain qualifications with skill tests or assessments
of competence and perform proficiency checks on Annex II aircraft would
render the whole Annex II feckless. The intention was never to undermine Annex
II but to provide General Aviation with the possibility to continue to use
aircraft they were using for years already with the clear aim that at a certain
moment only equipment that was certified in accordance with the Basic Regulation
would be used for training, testing and checking.
Let's see what happens. Anyway it's very amazing, that the EASA GA task force itsef
dislcaimed this with the words "We do not know where this is coming from.
We will publish an answer. Flyers will publish something to clarify." by the
beginning of last week, obviously not knowing, what is going on in the legal department
of EASA.
Regards
Roland

Hi All,
A few years ago I bought a Ethanol testing kit. It consisted of a
couple of small bottles and what looked like blue coloured cotton buds.
I'm now down to my last couple of testing sticks, does any one know
where I can get some more. I have tried all the usual aviation sites,
but with no luck. I have looked through my old invoices but can't find
them. Maybe the don't produce them any more :-( .
Cheers Danny. G-c.e.r.i

Do all you guys have normal standard fuel filters? Are they .1 mm ? Can't find
a spec. And what about carb heating - water based? Added complexity and risk of
leaks in my view?
Carbs should be warmed from air flow out of the side top cowl vents and from sitting
over the exhaust pipes ( mine have shielded bowls).

I'm personally involved with 3 other Europas besides my own and between us we use
the standard Pro Fuel filters or gascolators.
As for carb heating, we all use the Skydrive carb heat kit which uses the water
system.

Hi Graham,
I fitted the water based carb heating 10 years ago. Yes, a bit more
pipework but fit and forget otherwise. Remember, carb heating by warm air
into intake = loss of power so heating the body of carb is a better way to
go.

Brian

Graeme,
I use Pro Fuel filters under pilot and passenger seats, feeding to a 3 way Fuel
cock, (Main-Res-OFF) then feeding to an Andair gascolator, electric fuel pump
to the engine driven mechanical pump and finally engine.

Dear All,
I believe that Nevs firewall forward design kept the engine in the same location
as the XS but with a simpler, one piece, LAA approved engine mount.
Is there any reason not to use this mount on an XS install & does anyone know who
has the jig.
Regards,
Roger

Hi Roland
its ten years since i done mine and i used some brass ones,
but these steel ones would be preferable to plastic,
https://www.amazon.co.uk/12mm-Steel-reducer-joiner-connector/dp/B009C877ZC
with a bit of googleing im sure you can source some aluminium ones,
best wishes
