Light Aircraft Association

The magazines were at the mailing house by Friday morning and have all been dispatched (I checked they were not held there for some obscure reason this morning). Hopefully they will be with most members tomorrow.

Hi Noel, it was an article on the brakes that Rupert Wasey's father made for Rupert's Flitzer and it appeared in the December 2006 issue. If you contact the office they may have a copy of that magazine. If they haven't, come back to me and I'll see if I can get a pdf of the article for you. I believ...

Merlin, the magazine is in the post, should be with you Monday/Tuesday. I had hoped it would be arriving by Saturday but it seems the mailing house did not get it out as soon as they should have done. Apologies for it being a few days late.

I have received the following from the Engineering department today: "I see you've been involved in this thread so thought I'd drop you a line regarding our current procedures as I notice 'Rod 1' has stated in his post that this rule is not being enforced - which is not true. LAA Engineering IS now ...

Don't want to get into another pointless debate on this issue. Let us just say that if you part own an LAA permit aeroplane and thus enjoy the benefits the association provides, I think you have a moral obligation to at least, to be a paid up member.

Good pub/restaurant about a mile up the road if people wanted to stay overnight.

Mike, I wish you well, I hope the pain is not too intense and you will be feeling better soon.

I think using the current rules to negate the potential benefits of a virtual Strut is unrealistic. Rules are for guidence, and if curcumstances change whereby an improvement of beneficial situation can be developed, you change the rules, not decide abandon the idea. The simple fact is that the Stru...

"But in the face of EC antagonism, further attempts at development of this BB requiring EC buyin will be futile. "

Steve, I don't think there is antagonism of EC by the BB, I think it is more a case on indifference. I think the BB Strut idea is a good one and should be persued.

At this moment in time Mode S is unlikely to become mandatory for at least five years, if at all. The current proposals, which basically cover flight in controlled airspace and yet to be established Mandatory Transponder Zones, take us to 2012, so extending the requirement to all aircraft in the ope...

Well done Pete, an excellent job.

Jeremy, the 'for the time being' means that this is not the final solution, just temporary until Penny has time to make the old BB more easily accessible from the LAA website. Seems that even when you do get something sorted, albeit not perfectly, you get some who are still not happy. What is it the...

It is now possible to access the old PFA bulletin board. If you click the link below it will take you to the opening BB page. However, if you are automatically logged on it will not list the topics. Log off and hit the back button, or start over again by clicking the link, and the first page will op...

"Brian Hope tries to keep the info moving but if his hands are tied by others then what chance is there" Why on earth do you think there is such a veil of secrecy over what the EC does - THERE IS NOT. I have tried to give very thorough reports in the magazine of what is being discussed at EC and NC ...

February mag goes to press next week and I'll give members a steer to the BB. Hope to attend the next BB fly-in, if it's April then I can't make the 12/13 as I'll be at SnF. Hopefully Mach 2 might be able to make it too, he's a fellow Jodel man, told you he was one of the good guys!
