Austers on a Permit
I have also heard this, from an unofficial but reliable source.
The CAA letter to owners sent in May last states that if no organisation comes forward to take over the TRA then: "...the CAA would then expect to initiate a programme of replacing the current Certificates of Airworthiness (on expiry) with Permits to Fly". So I presume that we are still some way away from being able to simply switch to a permit.
Are the PFA ready to accept Austers onto Permits, or will they need to gear up for this?
Our Auster is in pieces going through its CofA right now: I guess we will have to complete the CofA renewal and then look forward to going on a permit three years thereafter.
Per ardua ad Auster.
