Re: Aircraft canopy manufacturers

It could be worth investigating the various organisations who repair gliders. They may be able to suggest solutions

Components/parts

New SN from CAA

Can in my opinion be read to indicate we must use "released" parts/components in our permit a/c.
Does anyone else read it like that?

I can understand this requirement for non radio equipped a/c but I remember in the past when a call at 10nm out was sufficient. A lot of these licenced fi...
