All
Thank You for your comments and pointing out the dangers of using the Europa for
a training aircraft. I had a chance to fly a Europa once and it was an absolute
joy to fly.
Our thought was to give the students who built the aircraft a chance to fly in
it and also handle the aircraft in the air. There was no intent to actually do
any real flight training with the students.
Thank You all for pointing the dangers that await us in that area.
Just as a side note for everyone, Sonex Aircraft, LLC holds an FAA Letter of
Deviation
Authority (LODA) allowing it to provide type-specific transition flight
training for the Sonex line of aircraft. The LODA authorizes Sonex Aircraft,
LLC to provide training for pilots building, buying or considering a Sonex
design.
The training is for aircraft familiarization and transition purposes only.
Student applicants must already hold a pilot certificate with appropriate
category
and class rating, as well as any required endorsements. So there is a
way to give training in a homebuilt aircraft but it is a very special case.
For those of you who have completed their Europa's and no longer need their
tools we would greatly appreciate it, if you would consider possibly donating
your tools to the Camden Youth Aviation Program. We are a registered 501(c)3
so your donation would be tax deductible. More information about our program
can be found on our Facebook page or our website www.camdenyap.org
We have aircraft A189. I have included some photos of the aircraft.
Thank You again
Ira
