Light Aircraft Association

Is it just me or is this survey not working? I get the start of it down to "before completing this questionaire we recomend that you" but cant scroll down and nothing happens if I try clicking on it?

Thanks for the suggestion but when I have tried to communicate with the CAA in the past calls and emails went unanswered, have absolutely no faith in them.

I have found they do normally respond to a letter, maybe because it physically sits on someones desk, still not lightening fast though!

Have you tried a letter to the CAA, state what he has including flying hours and ask what he needs to do to convert?

Unable to ring engineering atm as its Easter, I know dings need filing out and how it has to be done but no guidance on who can do it etc. Does anyone have experience of this?

Congratulations Sean, I presume you have a suitable tailwheel instructor lined up, if not then drop me a line, as the only LAA coach for the NW I can assist.

This was asked in the RV Yahoo group, a couple of suggestions of how to make your own using a piece of brass tubing and shaping it.

Just seen this on the Flyer website, surprised that the CAA /RAeS did not involve the LAA? The CAA will launch a new category for Experimental aircraft on 16 November. 'E' Conditions, as the new category is known, has been developed with the Royal Aeronautical Society and will be announced at a Ligh...

Sub question - how does one learn to fly a single seater aircraft when obviously the first time you fly it will be solo. Start by having as much experience as you can in relevant types (Tailwheel in this instance) and try and fly a few different types that are relevant, this gets you used to differ...

If you have that sort of budget you might like to look at our group - the NW RV Flyers, based at Barton, we are currently operating an RV7 with 7 of us in the group, I already have two others interested but do not want to go over 7 on just the one aircraft, shares are £12k, if we get another four me...

It will certainly make it more practical for going N/S!

Found the May one in the back of the car, does not really tell much apart from things are ongoing. Just got a group going round an RV7 at Barton and we would like to start getting it set up ready.

Also this form that I have just found!

It is now a year since the last update that I saw on this, do we have any progress that can be reported?

You also need to do the CAA paperwork to transfer it - Certificate of registration should be filled in and sent to the CAA by the previous owner and you send a FormCA1, you probably also need to change the radio licence over, which I think is a £25 fee.

Hi Sean,
Yes I can cover that for you. Replied to your email.
