Hi UK Forumites



I see that the LAA have just announced the start of night and IFR trials for PtoF aircraft and included the Europa in the list of trial aircraft.  I assume the factory will be as absent as ever from Europa developments so does anyone know whose aircraft will be involved and what form these trials will take?

It is not for me to reveal the aircraft being used.  I will leave that to

the owner.  The initial trials start with demonstrating that the aircraft

can meet the IFR stability requirements of CS-23.  Once this is proven, the

aircraft has to comply with the instrument, radio and electrical

requirements of CS-23.  It will then enter the test flight phase which will

be a series of IMC and night trials , both simulated and real,.  We are

carrying out these initial trials on a small number of different aircraft to

prove the process before seeking full approval from the CAA for the LAA to

recommend exemption from the "daylight/VFR"  Permit limitations for

individual aircraft.

Thank you Brian for your response to Richard's question.

I have been trying to get an official response from the LAA Engineering 

Department to include a piece in the next Europa Flyer (which is at the 

presses as we speak).

The Club has been informed of these trials and we are delighted that a 

Europa has been included and as soon as we have more official information we 

will post it.

Speaking to Brian Hope at Aeroexpo he said that he was in great demand at 

the show from people wanting to know more about the trials and what 

equipment will be acceptable in our Europas. However, we are a long way from 

having that information so can I ask for patience, please. No-one is more 

eager to know what is required than me.

Regards

Steve Pitt

Chairman, Europa Club
