To those who are not members of the Europa Club yet,
I have found an interesting article on the FAA website which starts
with:
"If you have a hobby or favorite activity, no matter how common or
unconventional, there is probably a club somewhere out there that
caters to that interest. Auto clubs, TV show fan clubs, and book
clubs; these are just a few among the myriad organizations that appeal
to nearly anything you can imagine. But how about a club that can help
save you time, money, and possibly even your life one day? Sound good?
If you=92re an airman, it most definitely would.
Of course we=92re referring to aircraft =93type clubs,=94 which, for
decades, have helped aircraft owners and pilots become more in tune
with the performance and safety of their machines. In fact, anecdotal
data suggest that members of an aircraft type club are less likely to
have an accident than their non-member colleagues. If that piques your
interest, please read on."
The full article was published in the July-August 2011 issue of the
FAA Safety Briefing, pages 26-27:
