ZU registrations
I am all in favour of keeping ex-war birds in the air. I think the CAA has taken the correct view in terms of using ZU reg flying contraptions for commercial use.
It requires that the aircraft be maintained to commercial standard, even though no CofA has been issued. This is to protect the flying public from plasters and clewing gum.
I hear via the grape vine that most of the components on the Hueys have NO component records. To the extent that 1 of the airframe serial numbers is not for a Huey, but a Jet Ranger!
If this is the case, I would hope the CAA do something!!! Its in all our interests.
