DFC can only be living in a perfect flying world were the weather is always good, pilots don't have to work,engieerig companys have unlimmited parking spaces and maintenance always happens to plan!............... I just wish I could find a way into his parallel uiniverse, things would be so much better.
Meanwhile back on planet earth I have found a way around the "A" conditions CoFF but I am not going to tell you what it is because if I do the CAA beancounters will close the loophole.
I would like to make it clear that EASA have forced this change on the CAA and the CAA are only charging for the time that they have to spend doing the EASA paperwork, Engineers can still issue "A" conditions CoFF on Non-EASA aircraft.
EASA as yet has no "little aircraft" experience and the rules are framed for large aircraft but having writen to my MEP he has been assured that this is being adressed by the EASA management. I do know that the PFA is putting a lot of pressure on EASA and the PFA are quite hopefull that things for GA are going to improve.
I think the bottom line is that without lobbying by a focused GA sector we won't get what we wan't so please join the PFA,BGA or AOPA and dip into your pockets a little or the "A" conditions issue will be just the tip of the iceburg.
