Light Aircraft Association

OR POSSIBLY : "Freeloaders no longer want to be cross subsidised by LAA membership" "Non LAA group members fail to show acceptable responsibility for the LAA to risk them doing their own Permit work" "CAA work out that direct Permit work costs >£200 per hour, whilst carefully calculating and aggress...

BUT costs they 'save' are still paid for, not by them, but by the full membership to sustain our comprehensive organisation. [I believe the ULAA was set up by enthusiasts and over the years funded by these folk so that we are now able benefit from all their many inputs of time, brains, struggles and...

Mike Cross, I think in your intensity to address the one issue that troubles you, you've gone off onto a tack which questions the whole ethos of the LAA and how it should be operated. Apart from the fact that it's unlikely they would re-jig the whole organisation, such a revision could well antagoni...

The April 2008 free e-mail edition of my 'RansMail' is now sent out. It's available as a direct e-mail or an e-mail with PDF attachments, which I'm told means the format is not disrupted on computers using alternative programmes to Outlook Express ! If anyone else out there would like to see a copy ...

RE my proposal to make LAA administered Permit Fees additionally a function of non LAA member aircraft owners. Clearly from the above exchanges one sees that those writing in favour of non LAA members benefitting from my fees will never understand the opposite opinion that all able bodied folk with ...

Mike, er.. 'Yes'. After all the LAA is a members' club, not an aeroplane register. If the LAA is asked to provide a service from its resources to non members who wish to remain non members, then I propose the LAA make a commercial charge for a Permit. [Just as I assume you agree it's fair for non me...

Mike, I did try [above] to give you a fair solution to your odd question. "...........propose a simpler alternative to my previous suggestion of 'a get out of membership fee' for those anonymous objectors to the LAA [yet apparently still prepared to suck at its bosom]. Restructure Permit fees to tak...

Choosing to own a part of a 'plane is not an emergency, Mike Cross is falling back on weak arguments. it's a poor sign. What nonsense to try and discuss purely the Permit fee out of context. The Fee is per plane, so groups individuals becoming members doesn't increase that single fee. Remember one h...

I'M 100 % ON BRIAN'S SIDE THIS TIME ! Why should non members benefit from my organisation's investment, planning, acquisition of know-how, its name, responsibility etc. etc. Maybe a conscientous objector rule could help, when folk with an aversion to joining could provide an ex gratia sum to the LAA...

Well..Actually er 'NO'. Last year's Poham was a mess of greedy fast a/c cutting and weaving scaringly in the 'circuit'. Dangerously so for those chaps trying to make a correct final approach. Naturally though obvious to all there, we dear old flyers didn't make an issue of it so as not to expose us ...

BTW the address I used successfully was the earlier posted one.

But I found loads ? I just expanded the map

What e.g. about Ringmer, Buxted etc.

:lol: WELL, ??? As nobody reads this section or at least knows it's not worth their supporting I am wondering if the WEB STRUT will be still-born ? I accept it's only a week since recommending another stage of preparatory activity to back up the efforts already made on our behalf, BUT who are "WE" e...

Is there a Rans 5 1/2 ? As the S6-116 is actually less in span than the S4 !

Or more seriously. Who has gen on the -116, because the PFA/LAA TADs are still blank ?

Thanks for all your input Steve. As you explained someone has to attend in person at Committe meetings. I for one located in deepest Sussex & not even as a "WebStrut member" am very pleased with your offer to be the physical representation if requested. I still think that if there are in excess of 2...
