the UK's air is it less thick than the air in the rest of the world?
Kevin - at the Europa Club seminar held at Leicester on 2 & 3 May 1998, Francis
Donaldson was one of the speakers. The focus of his presentation was the mod
to allow 1370lb gross weight. However, as an aside he said that to pass the time
on the train to the event, he had done some back-of-a-fag-packet calculations
and there is potential for aerobatic clearance at reduced max gross weight
(eg 1050 lb).
Ive always thought it would be nice if someone could pursue that and get a
precedent
for Europas to do simple aerobatics (eg roll & loop) in UK jurisdiction.
