Hi Peter.
I recall reading about a "ditching" of a trigear Europa some years ago off South
America I saw the photo of the plane being brought ashore after ditching. The
story as I recall it was that the plane floated and was towed to the shore;
See the photo of it floating quite buoyantly in an article in the Europa club
websitehttp://www.theeuropaclub.org .

I am planning on flying abroad this year ,does anybody know whether my Europa XS
Trigear would float in the event of the ditching, and would it sustain one or
two people .Has anybody done any calculations on floatation. Regards Roger
