Hi Phil
That's much clearer, and I can understand the issue better now.
Thanks.

Hi Phil, Yep - that's fair enough - but suggests the LAA may still have the final word on whether a wing loading below 60 KG/m2 is suitable? I suppose my point was that the CAA left it to the owner/operator to decide if the platform 'stability' was appropriate, as I don't think they have wing loadin...

Did I read in the LAA magazine that a wing loading limit of 60 kg/m2 had been set by LAA engineering? I'm curious what would happen to (say) 152's if they were ever orphaned and moved to the permit regime.

Hi, I've searched around but cannot find any notice that the Channel Islands renewed the general exemption for Permit aircraft, which expired on 13 Aug 2010. Can anyone point me to the renewed exemption, or did they not re- issue it? If not, does anyone know the procedure for an individual adhoc exe...

Looking for an electric gyro AH or T&B as a back up. More than £100 limit in this forum I know, but please PM if you have any info.... Cheers. Mike.
