Permit renewal turnarounds seem to be about 7-10 working days, assuming there are no queries..

My magazine arrived today!

Has the July magazine been published and posted? If so, I haven't received my copy..

I am fairly sure my Piper PA17 Vag used to have a 2CV door handle fitted (it was originally exported to France from new many years ago). I replaced the handle with a lockable one that you can get from here: https://www.smallfordspares.co.uk/products/y-941205-6-container-outside-door-handle Alternati...

Have you checked the Aircraft Spruce website? They seem to have bits for the 2600 series..

Gocardless is the 3rd party provider that the LAA uses for Direct Debit payment processing.
I did receive a separate email from the " LAA Ltd" a few days ago, addressed to me personally, advising of the increase in annual membership fee.
Good to be cautious though..

Good to see the LAA and this project on BBC TV news over the past few days:

TL 2.08, "Travelling Abroad in a Permit aircraft", (updated May 2022), gives the latest info.

John,

That is the exhaust system I was referring to.
Designed by Gary Smith - the "GS2000 exhaust silencing system".

I also have a copy of an article published in the July/Aug 2001 of Popular Flying titled "Quiet Aircraft".
Contains some good info on aircraft noise and how to reduce it.

Tony

Ian,

I don't think so but will have to check the drawing (if I can find it)..
Tony

Probably 10-15 years ago, an LAA member submitted plans for a new exhaust system for small Continental engines.
From memory, I believe the tailpipe mod. resulted in a 3-4 db noise reduction.
Perhaps LAA engineering still has the info?

HORIS AHRS is very good. I have one.
You also get an AH, DI, ASI, altimeter and G meter.
DI display is GPS derived.
Tony

In my Piper Vagabond I show an IAS that if 5 MPH faster when all windows are closed. Open the pilot's side sliding window one inch and the the IAS reduces...
Almost certain that you have a static issue.
I dont have a static system, so just live with it...

No login issues for me either.

I simply enter my login name and password and get straight to the forum home page.

Hi Rob,
Thanks - all sorted now (I am based at Popham).
