    Hi Kingsley, figure 3 in the report shows on the left picture the elevator in ANU-position, which is correct, since the aircraft finally stalled in a steep climb (the Pilot obviously overrode the trim, which was in the full AND position as shown on the right picture. So all is correct in the report as I can see it. Regards Roland D-ERIG XS TG 914 Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=505875#505875

    Except the indicator was correct for takeoff. Baffles me that a multihundred hour on type pilot would mismanage the stick due to excessive trim....especially in that direction.

    Roland, I hastily retract my previous comment. Referencing Fig 3, my eyes are not what they used to be and I didnt see the colon (:) after the word Left meaning I read it as Left tailplane instead of a reference to the Left picture. My apologies.

    Subject: RE: What did you do with your Europa this week 1/31 - 2/7
    Work continuesalbeit at a snails space. After triple checking my wiring harness and searching the various forums for a solution to the problem I was having with the Garmin G5 not recognizing the ARINC 429 module I contacted Garmin support, and to my surprise received a call back. Apparently a known software bug which the most recent version resolved. You would think with a new unit it would have had the latest software installed. Mission creep has set in and other project have been added to the list which are extending the completion date of my panel upgrade. One, I am sure will be worthwhile in the end, is adding speed compensating trim with relay deck as well as auto trim for the AP via the Dynon autopilot interface. I originally installed the MAC speed controller which has worked reasonable well. I have it turned down to the lowest setting which still results in the pitch trim being too sensitive at cruise and way too slow at pattern speeds. Planning for the eventual 406 ELT installation, I am running power and a serial cable from the new Garmin GPS 175 to provide GPS data to the ELT. Of course, I thought of this after completing the wiring harness for the GPS175. Oh well, at least I still had it on the bench. I am also adding a dedicated Ident button for the Dynon transponder that I am relocating to the baggage bay. Lastly, I am replacing 20 plus year old RG58 coax with RG400 for the com radio and transponder antennas. Oh, the fun never ends.

    Pete, "....Except the indicator was correct for takeoff." Was it? I understood the report assumed it was not (based on what was found in the wreckage). I remain curious to know how the report could be certain that AND trim was set during takeoff, not that there was much time for the trim motor to be able to make much of a change.

    Hello Pete, What I get from the report is - the pilot had a habit of steep climbs after take-off and the plane had 6.5 liters of fuel in the main tank. C of G was in the middle 60.25" The plane was near sea level temps of +1C. Winds 15 to 23 kt. on the nose. It would have been a brisk performer on this day but with so little fuel would it have kept running at a steep angle of climb? I always believed in the long run our bad habits will bite us. I think overly steep climbs are a bad habit unless required for obstacle clearance. The trim is the only thing wrong they could find but then he always took off with three lines of nose down. I will be careful on climb out myself, and make sure the airplane is configured for takeoff. Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=505880#505880

    dmac7, I think this might be possible, but you might think they would have checked where the fuel pickup was located in the tank. What about a big slug of water seeing the tank was so empty, a lot of moist air in there to condensate since last flight all dependant on fuel drain setup and procedure. I'm sure others do this as well but on walk around I check tail plane and trim are set for takeoff and then when in aircraft check the trim indicator agrees.

    Subject: Re: Fwd: Updates over Onderzoeksraad voor Veiligheid
    Guys, This is a condensed report of the Europa Accident from 2018. There will be corrections, I=92m sure. I=92m not going to be critical, but I do have a number of questions and observations: As far as abbreviations: Read the Abbreviations, =93AND=94 is Aircraft Nos e Down etc. Any time an Experimental Amateur Built Aircraft (EAB) is damaged/destroyed it reflects on all of us in the community. Loss of a pilot should make all of us pause and consider our procedures and operational techniques and tra ining to prevent reoccurance. Notes from my time in the conventional and mono and this particular investi gation: 1. Trim should always be set and visually observed prior to takeoff or e ven climbing in. My technique is set the stab equal to the rebate and note the tab at roughly even with the stab (trim tab or near zero). (My Annex E setting.) Trusting an indicator is not sufficient. I check the pre-takeof f trim visually. This will most likely prevent takeoff with a trim at full deflection and make trim failure fairly comfortable to land with. 2. The old analogue Ray Allen Trim indicator is not terribly accurate bu t is still an adequate trend instrument, good normally in my aircraft to be very close. It is not uncommon in all the aircraft I have built that both the digital and analogue indicators are set for takeoff somewhere in a lev el to nose down position of one to two bars from the middle position with t he visual trim position near 1 as above. That=92s life with indicators. 3. Takeoff or landing with full trim up or down: * Pitch forces at full nose down on takeoff are not really all that terrible. 10 pounds at takeoff speed to 75 knot climb is my estimate. Mos t people can hold that for about 5 minutes with the use of one hand only ke eping the nose steady for one circuit to landing. * Many civil pilots are not used to setting a pitch attitude then tr imming to zero stick force in flight, and in my experience, I see wild pitc h excursions of 0 to + 15 degrees nose high on takeoff due to the pilot not aggressively putting the nose where it needs to be for takeoff and holding it there no matter what (initial overcontrolling problem). My basic obse rvation is the pilot=92s =93death grip=94 on the stick has them flying with abrupt arm input is a contributing factor to this lack of feel and pitch d eviation of the inexperience Europa pilot. Experienced Europa pilots (100 hours in type) generally do not have this issue. As a technique in the Eur opa, I personally put the nose slightly above on the horizon for a 75-knot climb and just below the horizon for a 90-knot climb. The poor pilot pitch technique is exacerbated by pilot trainer=92s failure to insist on pitch a nd power setting memorization for phases of flight. (Of course, it is disa ppointing to catch oneself with the cruise pitch and power settings off fro m my normal level off picture because the 10-degree takeoff flap setting wa s not retracted after takeoff. Been there, done that!) While on that subj ect, I have seen instructors that will not allow a student to perform a ful l flap landing to touch and go because they have been scared that the stude nt allows the plane to hop into the air with full power, near full up trim and full flaps in the Cessna 150. I nearly smacked the instructor with me when after a very nice soft field approach and landing I immediately powere d up, retracting the flaps to 20, trimming constantly, while holding the no se wheel slightly off the runway. The instructor grabbed the controls clea rly in fear of a pitch up and after a rather short (colorful) comment from me he was coaxed off the controls. After I explained my technique and why it is so important to hold whatever pressure is necessary to keep the pitch proper for the configuration and power setting was an essential skill for a pilot to anticipate and learn. I then had him explore my technique and w e had a good time trading landings and techniques. * The 914/Constant Speed (CS) prop equipped Europa of any type will climb at a deck angle of 15-20 degrees at full power and a steady best angl e of climb speed setting. This nose angle is quite high (nothing but sky, so pitch setting is difficult). Although the stall speed with 10 degrees o f takeoff flap set appears to be 45 KIAS in the POH, in actuality, at full power with the 914/CS, the stall speed is much less. Even with a fixed pit ch 912S a full power clean power on stall is incredibly nose high and the p lane properly controlled, will keep a nose up (hang on the prop) pitch atti tude for an uncomfortably long time with little indication of burble due to the large amount of prop wash. * The post crash reference flight done with full nose down trim was referenced in the report for a climb 5 knots above the stall. That applies to this accident but is not a prudent climb attitude for the Europa. The pitch attitude is very high (deck angle) and difficult to set without pract ice and references even with proper trim at this low of a speed due to lack of outside references. Frankly at full power and 65 KIAS any engine minor hiccup will immediately bleed speed and a stall is going to result unless an immediate pitch down to 10-15 degrees nose down is made to regain/mainta in airspeed. That is a 30- degree pitch change which most pilots are not r eady to do when surprised by an engine failure. Why anyone would not attem pt to get to best rate or L/D Max on takeoff as quickly as possible is beyo nd me unless there are obstacles on the runway boundary necessitating a bes t angle of climb speed be held. Then one should plan to never go to that f ield again, or if necessary to operate out of the short with high obstacle field one should really keep your engine well tuned with good fuel and prac tice often. * Pitch attitude difficulties with full nose down trim is interestin g. Again, I reiterate, a pilot should be able to hold a steady pitch attit ude. Yes, the stick force is higher, but holding the pitch attitude steady is one of those pilot things that is essential for proper control. In com mercial emergency training, runaway trim at critical phases (takeoff / clim b runaway trim) is practiced in the simulator often to the embarrassment of the pilot(s) (although not done that often as the training tech is getting paid to make sure the pilots pass their EP trainer). The trainer and pilo ts then go over the why and how to correct this and if necessary, the exerc ise is practiced again until the evaluator and pilot are satisfied. Intere sting that I make nearly all my customers fly at least once full nose up an d full nose down for the experience since runaway or inop trim is always a possibility in any aircraft. Nice experiment and practice. I preach to ch eck the trim visually as normally takeoffs are done with the tab neutral mo stly. Later owner/operators make checklist changes if they need a bit of n ose up or down to fit their takeoff style. 4. I find a 150 meter takeoff roll (even light weight) in gusty head win d conditions on a grass strip a bit disconcerting. Even on a rough field, keeping the nose steady is not terribly difficult in the Europa. From the photo evidence once tail authority is achieved, I estimate the crash was mo st likely by eyeball about 200 meters from where he may have added full pow er for takeoff! His normal full takeoff roll should have been shorter due to headwind to be sure, but if the crash point is say 200 meters from brake release that indicates immediately after breaking ground the takeoff climb went up to a stall. The plane was probably horsed off the runway in my op inion. In the mishap pilots defense, the conventional or mono on a rough f ield may be thrown into the air by a very rough field and the pilot must ma intain a proper pitch attitude to allow a safe retouch or safe fly off in g round effect recovery. The report mentioned runway conditions did not permi t touch and go maneuvers. Why? Was it rough, too soft, too short or just an operational airfield directive? At 660 meters long it is a bit short co nsidering the ditch at the approach end. My calculations off the top of my head is the takeoff should be hard surface 500 feet for a fully loaded 914 and in gusty hard surface conditions with a takeoff speed tail up of 50 KI AS minimum, but for a soft field I add 20% and I decrease roll 10% for the headwind component of 15 Knots and put the takeoff in a three point takeoff at approximately 45 KIAS minimum so roughly I expect a 550 foot/167 meters normal takeoff roll. That puts the aircraft airborne for only an addition al 33 meters or so prior to the crash impact. At say 45 Kts that is 76 FPS / 23 mps tells me the airplane may have been airborne only 1.5 seconds to 2 seconds (momentum still in stall/roll going up. A 914 climbs at 20 FPS o r 6 mps would be about 10-15 meters high. Witnesses say 15-20 meters high. So that is in the ball park of off the top of the head calculations. I b elieve the witnesses were reasonable in their estimate. 5. Back to full nose down trim. If the trim was full nose down, normally one would not pull excessively far back initially on the climb. Why? Thi s is a tail dragger, so full aft stick is normally held during the takeoff roll to a minimum of 35 KIAS. Normally the stick is relaxed as the plane b egins to initially rise and the takeoff pitch attitude maintained while the aircraft accelerates. Even with full nose down trim, the tail would want to rise for slightly easier forward stick. But not so much to be noticeabl e at normal liftoff speed. Say the forward stick was higher, the pilot wou ld simply add about 5 pounds more pressure to get airborne when at flying s peed or simply hold his takeoff attitude. Also full nose down would not pr omote an extreme nose high attitude initially after takeoff. So, I have qu estions on the assumption the trim was full up or down at the start. Why? In the photo it shows down at the top of the trim switch is pushed for DOW N (not unlike in my aircraft). If he had a tendency for steep climb outs i mmediately after takeoff, with normal takeoff or full up trim one would nee d to add more down trim immediately after takeoff due to the speed increase toward about 65 KIAS and frankly one would add more down trim to push over to a climb in most Europa=92s. Could the pilot have simply added nose dow n trim while bringing the nose up from habit. Or was nose up trim from the last landing still set and on liftoff the nose flew up more aggressively t han normal and he was slow to stop the nose up moment. Perhaps the pilot w as trimming nose down and either due to being heads down looking for the tr im switch the pitch control on takeoff began to become a problem and he add ed full nose down prior to the stalled loss of control. It takes about 10 seconds to go from nose full up to nose down. That is a long time. I don =92t think he had full nose up and held the trim for 10 seconds. My conclu sion is I don=92t think it acceptable to assume that a full nose down trim was a factor since the aircraft did an aggressive climb and crashed so shor tly after takeoff as the stick would have been held firmly full aft or near it until at or near liftoff (if the tail was raised at all prior to liftof f the stick would momentarily move a bit more forward than normal) until th e plane was rotated for takeoff. It is conceivable that the pilot with ful l nose down failed to hold aft stick or he over rotated the nose down (tail up) faster than anticipated and he may have over controlled, and he allowe d his overcontrol to continue to pitch up if he was startled. No one will know since the trim movement direction is not easily traced post accident. 6. Also, the investigators failed to carefully look at wheel track to de termine if there was any directional control problem or unevenness in the r unway, but in their defense, by the time you get to an airfield for an inve stigation everybody has driven all over the evidence. If the tail was rais ed it is not easily seen on a grass strip where that happened without a car eful observer watching. Perhaps the co-owner of the aircraft could comment on the pilots takeoff technique. 7. The pilot had a history of doing what I call an =93airshow departure =94 or showing off holding it down and zoom climb to best angle. However, on this day he had a short takeoff (possible lower speed than normal liftof f), steep climb (possible best angle attempt) in gusty conditions (but not that bad), which leads me to an early finding of poor pilot discipline/tech nique. These pilot takeoff observations are not conducive to a reasonable departure by a Light Aircraft Civil Pilot. One can only wonder. There is a little hot dog in all of us. 8. Complete pilot 30/60/90 flight time was not in the report. Not repor ted was his age and occupation. His last flight recorded in the Europa app ears to have been Dec 2018 so it appears he had currency (290 hours total P IC with pilot license in Feb 2017 and accident in Dec 2018 appears he flew about 290/22 months put him at 13 hours per month. What had he been flying in the meantime other than the Europa? What date did he have his Europa c heckout or is he a builder/operator? If he was not the builder, who checke d him out. Investigators probably have that but omitted it in this short r eport. Just for insurance purposes a prudent owner/operator would log his Europa checkout and log his flight time in each aircraft and all training f lights practicing stalls, and emergency landing practice and type (No Flap, Soft Field, Min roll, etc.) to show currency and proficiency for insurance coverage documentation. This lack of logging, currency and his routine ta keoff departure tendency is not prudent pilot action and a bit cavalier for a routine flight in my opinion, but that is me. 9. The eyewitness (it would be nice to know the differences in the witne sses statements) report of 15-20 meters altitude at the stall and left roll departure from controlled flight is very disconcerting also. Assuming ful l power, right rudder is obviously needed for proper yaw control, and if th e stall was encountered on departure to get a left roll meant either insuff icient right rudder, and or input of right stick to control P factor roll. This is interesting to me. Since full back stick ANU (Aircraft Nose UP) w as held until impact, the pilot most likely lost control in the stall and m aintained a full aft stick as the plane departed controlled flight, rolled and impacted. One would assume full aft stick is a pure reaction to an uni ntended low altitude stall. Of course, there is insufficient data on contr ol input history due to lack of black box aircraft recording instrumentatio n common in light aircraft and is only an assumption. 10. Finally, it is obvious the plane had 870 hours, and began life as a m ono. It was modified, (no discussion of the mod and post flight test) and apparently resold after about 5-600 (ish) hours? I find it sloppy that no where in the report is the post flyoff test flight data of PH-PGV on stall and characteristics from the logs (build log or aircraft log). Was the ori ginal builder interviewed? The testimony of the co-owner on the aircraft =92s characteristics and his partners flight time and performance are missi ng from this report. I find that unusual. Especially in a government cond ensed report. Perhaps in the long report it will be or has been included an d was not deemed worthy of comment in this summary report. I find the lack of standard maintenance documentation on this aircraft a bit scant also. Who did the Annual and was he authorized? Since the aircraft had flown man y hours since it was built in 1999 there must have been others who had flow n it, modified it and flight tested it, were they interviewed or did the fa il to participate? As a former accident investigator (granted, years ago now) I have far too m any questions that are unanswered. Perhaps the long report will have more. It is sad the investigation of experimental aircraft accidents do not get a lot of detail and is mostly assumptions as resources are normally given for commercial flight mishap investigations. So, is the bottom line =93stal l spin and ignore, it is just an experimental=94 bothers me. Until the LAA gets the long report I will stand by and let the investigators do their jo b. It grieves me a perfectly good airplane and a nice pilot are lost. I can =92t see how we can prevent this from happening from the report. problem ex cept Bud Yerly Custom Flight Creations From: owner-europa-list-server@matronics.com <owner-europa-list-server@matr onics.com> On Behalf Of Pete Zut Sent: Tuesday, February 01, 2022 6:42 AM Subject: Re: Europa-List: Re: Fwd: Updates over Onderzoeksraad voor Veiligh eid Except the indicator was correct for takeoff.

    Subject: Official Europa-List FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
    Dear Listers, Please read over the Europa-List Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) below. The complete Europa-List FAQ including the Usage Guidelines can be found at the following URL: http://www.matronics.com/FAQs/Europa-List.FAQ.html Thank you, Matt Dralle Matronics Email List Administrator [ Note: This FAQ was designed to be displayed with a fixed width font such as Courier. Proportional fonts will cause display formatting errors. ] This FAQ can also be viewed in HTML online at the following address: http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Europa-List.htm ************************************************************ ******* LIST POLICIES AND FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ******* ************************************************************ PLEASE READ. This document contains Europa-List policies and information for new and old subscribers. Understanding the Europa-List policies will minimize problems for the Administrator, and will help keep the Europa-List running smoothly for all of us. ****************************************** *** Quick Start Guide to List Features *** ****************************************** There are many features available on the Matronics Email Lists and each one is described in detailed below. However, using the List Navigator you can quickly access the complete set of features available for this List. The List Navigator can be found at the following URL: http://www.matronics.com/Navigator?Europa-List **************************************** *** How to Subscribe and Unsubscribe *** **************************************** Simply go to the Web Page shown below and enter your email address and select the List(s) that you wish to subscribe or unsubscribed from. You may also use the handy "Find" function to determine the exact syntax of your email address as it is subscribed to the List. Please see the complete instructions at the top of the Web Page for more information. The Subscribe/Unsubscribe web page is: http://www.matronics.com/subscribe Note that you will receive TWO conformation emails regarding your subsciption process. The first verifies that your subscription/unsubsciption request was received, and the second confirms that the process has been completed. You should receive the first email within a few minutes of your request. The second conformation will arrive in less than 24 hours. You cannot post until you receive the second conformation email message. ***************************** *** How to Post a Message *** ***************************** Send an email message to: europa-list@matronics.com Your message will be redistributed to everyone currently subscribed to the List. ***************************************************** *** SPAM Fighter - You Must be Subscribed to Post *** ***************************************************** When a new post is received by the system, the From: line of the message is checked and compared against the current subscription list. If the email address is found, the message is passed on to the List Processor. If the email address isn't found in the current list of subscribers, it is dumped. This serves to very effectively thwart 99% of the SPAM that gets posted to the Lists. Remember, however, that the syntax of your email address is very important with regard to the configuration of your email application such as Outlook or Eudora. For example, the following two email addresses may be functionally equivalent, but only one would pass the Matronics Email SPAM test depending on which was syntax was subscribed to the given List: smith@machine.domain.com smith@domain.com Either email address syntax is alright, just be sure that you configure your email application to match *exactly* the address you've subscibed to the List. ************************************** *** Enclosure Support on the Lists *** ************************************** Limited posting of enclosures such as pictures, documents, and spreadsheets is supported on the Lists. There are a number of restrictions, and these are detailed below. Please abide by the rules put forth regarding the content of enclosures. These are some of the features and limits of enclosures on the Matronics Lists: 1) Enclosures will only be posted to the Real Time version of the Lists. 2) Enclosures will NOT be included in the Daily Digest version of the Lists. 3) Enclosures WILL BE forwarded on to the BBS Forum Web site. 4) Enclosures will NOT be appended to the Archives. 5) Enclosures will NOT be available in the List Browse feature. 6) Only the following file types and extensions will be allowed: bmp doc dwg dxf gif jpg pdf png txt xls All other enclosures types will be rejected and email returned to sender. The enclosure types listed above are relatively safe from a virus standpoint and don't pose a particularly large security risk. 7) !! All incoming enclosures will be scanned for viruses prior to posting to the List. This is done in real time and will not slow down the process of posting the message !! Here are some rules for posting enclosures. Failure to abide by these rules could result in the removal of a subscriber's email address from the Lists. 1) Pay attention to what you are posting!! Make sure that the files you are enclosing aren't HUGE (greater that 1MB). Remember that there are still people checking they're email via dial up modem. If you post 30MB worth of pictures, you are placing an unnecessary burden on these folks and the rest of us, for that matter. 2) SCALE YOUR PICTURES DOWN!!! I don't want to see huge 3000 x 2000 pictures getting posted that are 3 or 4MB each. This is just unacceptable. Use a program such as Photoshop to scale the picture down to something on the order of 800 x 600 and try to keep the file size to less-than 200KB, preferably much less. Microsoft has a really awesome utility available for free that allows you to Right-Click on a picture in Explorer and automatically scale it down and resave it. This is a great utility - get it, use it! http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx Look for the link "Image Resizer" 3) !! This would seem to go without saying, but I'll say it anyway. Do not post anything that would be considered offensive by your grandmother. And you know what I'm saying; I don't want to see anything even questionable. !! 4) REMEMBER THIS: If you post a 1MB enclosure to a List with 1000 members subscribed, your 1MB enclosure must be resent 1000 times amounting to 1MB X 1000 = 1 Gigabyte of network traffic!! BE CAREFUL and BE COURTEOUS! Also see the section below on the Matronics Photo and File Share where you can have your files and photos posted on the Matronics web server for long time viewing and availability. ******************* *** Digest Mode *** ******************* Each day, starting at 12 midnight PST US, a new 'digest' will be started. This digest will contain the same information that is currently appended to the archive file. It has all of the headers except for the "From:" and "Subject:" lines removed, and includes a message separator consisting of a line of underscores. Each day at 23:55 PST US, the day's messages as described above will be combined and sent as a single message to everyone on the digest email list. To subscribe to the digest list, use the same subscription web form described above, and just select the Digest version of the List. http://www.matronics.com/subscribe Note that you *can* be subscribed to both the realtime and digest versions of the List at the same time. This is perfectly acceptable. Now some caveats: * Messages sent to "europa-list-digest" will be forwarded to the standard email list. In other words, you cannot post messages only to the digest List. * If you are subscribed to both the regular List and the digest List, you will receive the realtime postings as well as the digest at the end of the day. * If you reply to the digest email, your message will be forwarded to the normal list associated with the digest. Important Note: Please change the subject line to reflect the topic of your response! Also, please *do not include all or most of the digest in your reply*. **************************** *** List Digest Browser *** **************************** An archive of all the List Digests can be found online in either plain text or HTML format. These archives contain the exact Digest that was posted to the Digest email list on the given day. The Digest Archives can be found at the following location: http://www.matronics.com/digest ***************************************** *** The "DO NOT ARCHIVE" Message Flag *** ***************************************** At times, your message may concern something that is revelent only to a very small number of persons or to a limited area, and you may not wish to archive it. In such a case, simply put the following phrase anywhere in the message: do not archive Your message will not be appended to the archive, but will be sent to List email distribution as normal. ********************************************** ***** READ THIS - Automatic Unsubscribes ***** ********************************************** Note that if your email address begins to cause problems such as bounced email, mailbox is filled, or any other errors, your address will be promptly removed from the List. If you discover that you are no longer receiving messages from the Europa-List, go to the following Web page, and look for your email address and a possible reason for your removal. The Matronics Email List uses utility called the "Email Weasel" that automatically looks though the day's bounced email for addresses that caused problems due to common things like "user is unknown", "mailbox full", etc. If the Email Weasel removes your email address from the Lists you will find record of it at the following URL: http://www.matronics.com/unsubscribed If the problem listed on the web site above has been resolved, please feel free to resubscribe to the Lists of your choice. ******************************* *** List Member Information *** ******************************* If you have not done so already, please email me your phone numbers and paper mail address in the following format: smith@somehost.com Joe Smith 123 Airport Lane Tower, CA 91234-1234 098-765-1234 w 123-456-7890 h Please forward this information to the following email address: requests@matronics.com I have a file of such things, that I typically use to contact you when there are problems with your email address. The information will NOT be used for any other commercial purpose. **************************************** *** Realtime Web Email List Browsing *** **************************************** Recent messages posted to the Europa-List are also made available on the Web for realtime browsing. Seven days worth of back postings are available with this feature. The messages can be sorted by Subject, Author, Date, or Message Thread.

You do not have to be subscribed to the given list to use the List Browser Interface in view-mode. http://www.matronics.com/browselist/europa-list ******************************************* *** Web Forums Bulletin Board Interface *** ******************************************* A phpBB BBS web Forums front end is available for all Europa-List content. content.

You will also need to Subscribe to the respective Email List as described above to receive the Email Distribution of the List, however. The Matroincs Email List Web BBS Forums can be found at the following URL: http://forums.matronics.com ********************************* *** Matronics Email List Wiki *** ********************************* In an attempt to make it easy to store and find structured and often accessed information, Matronics has installed a Wiki at: http://wiki.matronics.com The Wiki allows individuals to create web pages to contain useful information for other users of the mailing lists and web site. Unlike an ordinary web page where the content needs to be submitted to Matronics for inclusion, the Wiki permits the users to construct their own pages and have them visible immediately. While constructing pages for the Wiki is not difficult, some may not be comfortable building pages. In that case, simply prepare the text and any images and email it to: wiki-support@matronics.com One of the volunteers on that list will take your submission and construct a Wiki page for you. Often someone produces a particularly useful posting in email one one of the Lists that would be of general interest. In that case Matronics may take that post and convert it into a Wiki page. ********************* *** List Archives *** ********************* A file containing of all of the previous postings to the Europa-List is available on line.

You won't find any PopUpAds, flashing Banner ads, or any other form of annoying commercialism on either the Email Messages or the List web pages associated with the Matronics Email Lists. Every year during November I run a low-key, low-pressure "Fund Raiser" where, throughout the month, I ask List members to make a Contribution in any amount with which they are comfortable. I will often offer free gifts with certain contribution levels during the Fund Raiser to increase the participation. The gifts are usually donated by companies that are themselves List members. Your Contributions go directly to supporting the operation of the Lists including the high-speed, business-class Internet connection, server system hardware and software upgrades, and to partially offset the many many hours I spend running, maintaining, upgrading, and developing the variety of services found here. Generally Contributions range from $20 to $100 and are completely voluntary and non-compulsory. I ask only that if person enjoys the Lists and obtains value from them, that they make a Contribution of equal magnitude. Contributions are accepted throughout the year, and if you've just subscribed, feel free to make a Contribution when you've settled in. The website for making SSL Secure Contributions is listed below. There are a variety of payment methods including Visa and MasterCard, PayPal, and sending a personal check. If you enjoy and value the List, won't you make a Contribution today to support its continued operation? http://www.matronics.com/contributions Thank you!

You are encouraged to read it carefully, and to abide by the rules therein. Failure to use the Europa-List in the manner described below may result in the removal of the subscribers from the List. Europa-List Policy Statement The purpose of the Europa-List is to provide a forum of discussion for things related to this particular discussion group. The List's goals are to serve as an information resource to its members; to deliver high-quality content; to provide moral support; to foster camaraderie among its members; and to support safe operation. Reaching these goals requires the participation and cooperation of each and every member of the List. To this end, the following guidelines have been established: - Please keep all posts related to the List at some level. Do not submit posts concerning computer viruses, urban legends, random humor, long lost buddies' phone numbers, etc. etc. - THINK carefully before you write. Ask yourself if your post will be relevant to everyone. If you have to wonder about that, DON'T send it. - Remember that your post will be included for posterity in an archive that is growing in size at an extraordinary rate. Try to be concise and terse in your posts. Avoid overly wordy and lengthy posts and responses. - Keep your signature brief. Please include your name, email address, aircraft type/tail number, and geographic location. A short line about where you are in the building process is also nice. Avoid bulky signatures with character graphics; they consume unnecessary space in the archive. - DON'T post requests to the List for information when that info is easily obtainable from other widely available sources. Consult the web page or FAQ first. - If you want to respond to a post, DO keep the "Subject:" line of your response the same as that of the original post. This makes it easy to find threads in the archive. - When responding, NEVER quote the *entire* original post in your response. DO use lines from the original post to help "tune in" the reader to the topic at hand, but be selective. The impact that quoting the entire original post has on the size of the archive can not be overstated! - When the poster asks you to respond to him/her personally, DO NOT then go ahead and reply to the List. Be aware that clicking the "reply" button on your mail package does not necessarily send your response to the original poster. You might have to actively address your response with the original poster's email address. - DO NOT use the List to respond to a post unless you have something to add that is relevant and has a broad appeal. "Way to go!", "I agree", and "Congratulations" are all responses that are better sent to the original poster directly, rather than to the List at large. - When responding to others' posts, avoid the feeling that you need to comment on every last point in their posts, unless you can truly contribute something valuable. - Feel free to disagree with other viewpoints, BUT keep your tone polite and respectful. Don't make snide comments, personally attack other listers, or take the moral high ground on an obviously controversial issue. This will only cause a pointless debate that will hurt feelings, waste bandwidth and resolve nothing. - Occasional posts by vendors or individuals who are regularly subscribed to a given List are considered acceptable. Posts by List members promoting their respective products or items for sale should be of a friendly, informal nature, and should not resemble a typical SPAM message. The List isn't about commercialism, but is about sharing information and knowledge. This applies to everyone, including those who provide products to the entire community. Informal presentation and moderation should be the operatives with respect to advertising on the Lists. ------- [This is an automated posting.] do not archive
