While every care is taken withcontributors’ manuscripts and photos,neither The Light Aircraft Associationnor the publishercan accept liability for lost ordamaged material. The viewsexpressed by contributors do notnecessarily reflect those of the LAA
MUCH of November and December2010 brought us a worldwide El Ninaaffect, as the jet streams shifted from
their traditional paths, bringing a deep freeze fornorth-west Europe, but uncommonly light windsfor South America. Those glider pilots chasingthe Andean wave – the downwind ‘bounce’ thatenables gliders to soar 3000km in a day – arenow sunbathing, whilst we freeze. Indeed, thelong-range forecasts are suggesting this situationis unlikely to change soon, so please excuse me ifyou’re finally reading this in April.
What’s that to do with the LAA? Well thereare many glider pilots within the LAA of course.Glider pilots, gyro, microlight, Permit, Certified,commercial – we’re a diverse bunch – but my pointis rather more about globalisation. Whilst ourPermit fleet is classified as Annex II and thereforenot part of the great European ‘harmonised’legislation (yet), it is a fact that the Europeanaviation regulatory environment is increasinglyaffecting us in the GA community.
Since there are many operators of ‘N’ reg aircraftoperating in Europe, and since EASA seemsdetermined to bring them into the EASA ‘fold’, andsince it seems the USA and EU will need to find apolitical fix (fudges to the regulations) to avoid anaviation regulatory ‘trade war’, it would seem we’llall be affected by the modern day global reach ofaviation.
As EASA gathers steam, other functional areas tocompliment the already established maintenanceregulations will include flight crew licensing, airtraffic management and airspace, aerodromes,medicals, etc. Eventually, the plan is for the wholeEuropean aviation regulatory environment to beharmonised.
Whilst Permit aircraft may remain under nationalrules, supported by the LAA and an increasinglyhelpful CAA, the airspace we fly in, the trainingorganisations, the aerodromes, the fuel, theinsurance and the rules thereof, will be to a smalleror larger extent, determined by Europe.
Facing up to these changes is a huge undertakingand requires many hours of diligent work by all theGA air sport organisations. Indeed, LAA directorslike John Brady, Roger Hopkinson and Barry Plumbseem to spend all their spare time representing theLAA, the RAeC, or GA Alliance in meetings, workinggroups, committees or on their PC fashioningthe many responses we must make to maintaina degree of common sense and retain our fl yingprivileges.
It may not be the sex and sizzle of the latestcarbon super-ship, but it’s essential to keep usflying. Whatever type of aircraft we fly, we all owethese largely unsung heroes a huge debt.
On behalf of all the LAA team, may I wish you ahappy and successful 2011.

WE’RE ALL AFFECTEDCEO’S CHAT BY PETER HARVEY
LAA Engineering advice to buyers:AIRCRAFT APPROVED? Members and readersshould note that the inclusion of all advertisements inthe commercial or classifi ed sections of this magazine does not necessarily mean that the product or service is approved by the LAA. In particular, aircraft types, or examples of types advertised, may not, for a variety of reasons, be of a type or standard that is eligible for the issue of a LAA Permit to Fly. You should not assume that an aircraft type not currently on the LAA accepted type list will eventually be accepted.
IMPORTED AIRCRAFT? Due to unfavourableexperiences, the purchase and import of completedhomebuilt aircraft from abroad is especiallydiscouraged.
TIME TO BUILD? When evaluating kits/designs,it should borne in mind that technical details,performance fi gures and handling characteristics areoften quoted for a factory-produced aircraft fl yingunder ideal conditions. It is wise, therefore, to seekthe opinion of existing builders and owners of thetype. You should also take your own skill andcircumstances into consideration when calculatingbuild times. The manufacturer’s build time should betaken as a guide only.
AMATEUR BUILDING All LAA aircraft buildersand potential builders are reminded that in order toqualify for a LAA Permit to Fly, homebuilt aircraft must be genuinely amateur built. For these purposes the CAA provide a defi nition of amateur built in theirpublication CAP 659, available from LAA. An extractfrom CAP 659 reads “The building and operation of the aircraft will be solely for the education and recreation of the amateur builder. This means that he would not be permitted to commission someone else to build his aircraft”. An aircraft built outside the CAA’s defi nition could result in an expensive garden ornament.

MUCH of November and December 2010 brought us a worldwide El Nina affect, as the jet streams shifted from
their traditional paths, bringing a deep freeze for north-west Europe, but uncommonly light winds for South America. Those glider pilots chasing the Andean wave – the downwind ‘bounce’ that enables gliders to soar 3000km in a day – are now sunbathing, whilst we freeze. Indeed, the long-range forecasts are suggesting this situation is unlikely to change soon, so please excuse me if you’re fi nally reading this in April.
What’s that to do with the LAA? Well there are many glider pilots within the LAA of course. Glider pilots, gyro, microlight, Permit, Certifi ed, commercial – we’re a diverse bunch – but my point is rather more about globalisation. Whilst our Permit fl eet is classifi ed as Annex II and therefore not part of the great European ‘harmonised’ legislation (yet), it is a fact that the European aviation regulatory environment is increasingly affecting us in the GA community.
Since there are many operators of ‘N’ reg aircraft operating in Europe, and since EASA seems determined to bring them into the EASA ‘fold’, and since it seems the USA and EU will need to fi nd a political fi x (fudges to the regulations) to avoid an aviation regulatory ‘trade war’, it would seem we’ll all be affected by the modern day global reach of aviation.
As EASA gathers steam, other functional areas to compliment the already established maintenance regulations will include fl ight crew licensing, air traffi c management and airspace, aerodromes, medicals, etc. Eventually, the plan is for the whole European aviation regulatory environment to be harmonised.
Whilst Permit aircraft may remain under national rules, supported by the LAA and an increasingly helpful CAA, the airspace we fl y in, the training organisations, the aerodromes, the fuel, the insurance and the rules thereof, will be to a smaller or larger extent, determined by Europe.
Facing up to these changes is a huge undertaking and requires many hours of diligent work by all the GA air sport organisations. Indeed, LAA directors like John Brady, Roger Hopkinson and Barry Plumb seem to spend all their spare time representing the LAA, the RAeC, or GA Alliance in meetings, working groups, committees or on their PC fashioning the many responses we must make to maintain a degree of common sense and retain our fl ying privileges.
It may not be the sex and sizzle of the latest carbon super-ship, but it’s essential to keep us fl ying. Whatever type of aircraft we fl y, we all owe these largely unsung heroes a huge debt.
On behalf of all the LAA team, may I wish you a happy and successful 2011.
