Re: fuel in seats

Bob. Worth asking LAA Engineering of course. On a practical note. I was involved in a crash where my vertical speed at impact was enough to tear off U/C completely but also distorted my seat frame and seat base considerably.

Re: Vision microsystems problem

I couldn't find an Official Vision Microsystems mender. An electronics fettler might spot his predigament and offer to tinker.
I too fly a simple aircraft but have the advantage of being a simple pilot too!

Re: Vision microsystems problem

Has the system got an Internal Battery to keep system settings?

Donald - Ian. Thanks for information.
My AME referred to it as Class 2 Medical so I continued the name. EASA it is.
Scotland it will be for this years expedition.

Re: Licence - Medical and flying to France.

Not sure what you mean Ian. I'm very senior today!
I have an LAPL and fly an Annex 2 (LAA) Aircraft. Had LAPL Class 2 Medical until June last year but blood pressure marginal so elected for Self declaration. At moment I would need Class 2 medical again to fly to France.

I fly a Group A Single Seat Permit Aircraft on an LAPL and now at 70+ with a CAA Self Declaration Medical. I've asked other Pilots and in every case seem to have a different answer so...... Can I fly to France with that combination? I believe I can on an Microlight NPPL with Self Declaration? Regard...
