    can't see why an engine that is still returning good test results should not run on condition. how many ga aircraft are on condition. i know 2 debonairs that have been on it for 20 years. and we know how reliable the 912 engines are. good for way past 2000 hours.

    Yes, I know it is casa. he was told it will be most likely be approved without inspection because of the low hours , so you are saying $5000 anyway for the paperwork. scary stuff, that charge may have gone up.

    203 kg is not much left over after fuel. If it's 600. It might only be 544.
  4. BrendAn
    397 kg empty. wouldn't have much payload
  5. BrendAn
    Is that a lightwing

    I never said anything about new engines. Plenty of used around , admittedly more 503s than 447. I was just thinking those motors would work well. There are quite a few paramotors engines that might work too. 1/2 VW's are antiquated too.

    Would have thought a 447 Rotax would be ideal .

    tecnams are type certified and can be run on condition even in flying schools. The aircraft my mate is changing to E 24 is a fly synthesis storch so I guess that must not be type certified as he was advised to go E24.

    why would anyone who wants to do all that be going for a self declared medical. and it definitely should not be for anything like that.
  12. BrendAn
    i think there are a lot of them out there. i met a muster pilot once who had written off 3 r22s.
  13. BrendAn
    how many people want to do that anyway.

    jared said he has to fill out form 11 i think it is and submit it to casa, they will either approve change to E24 on the spot or ask for an inspection . after that approval he goes back to raaus shows them a picture of plane with E decals and pay the fee. it will be great if its that easy.

    class 5 is based on the raaus model i thought.

    medical is the same as raaus

    if your 24 is private use you can change to E24 experimental if your engine is out of time instead of buying a new engine, for instance the one i am talking about only has 400 hrs airframe and engine but the 912 is over 15 yrs old so it has to be rebuilt or replaced for 24 reg. and you can also do your own work on it under E24 .

    24 to e24 can only be approved by a casa appointed person. L2 can't do the inspection.

    Great news. A big hurdle leaped.

    Good post.

    Every time Rotax is mentioned you say how badly designed they are and all the problems they have. Yet no one else has much trouble with them. Yesterday I was talking to my instructor about aircraft and he said 912 are bullet proof. He has thousands of hours behind 912 uls and has never had an issue.

    bloody hell. i bet a few pairs of ski pants went to the laundry that night.
