Hi folks,
I'm looking for the current regulations for the carriage of a fire extinguisher in a permit aircraft. Are there exemptions for open cockpit, microlights or gyroplanes?
Many thanks

There's no requirement to carry a first aid kit either.
It's a dashed good idea to do so though. Trust me on this one!

I do agree, but the answer was correct
- Sensible mounting and security in flight should satisfy an inspector (no alteration of critical airframe in the process of course!).
