I purchased a new aircraft, type remaining anonymous for now, last year.
Still awaiting delivery although it is now in the U.K.
I have been utterly confounded by the whole process. I had owned a similar type for a number of years.
Whilst I would have done much of the process entirely differently, hindsight being such a learning curve, I now find myself with no Fire Extinguisher supplied, either by the manufacturer nor local agent.
I find this staggering, bearing in mind the PoH Emergency Checklist for an Electrical Fire calls for the Discharge of .....you guessed it, the Fire Extinguisher.
I am informed it is no longer an EASA requirement to have one......
I am guessing that the maintenance sheets we have been working to up until last year, checking the weight of the one that was in the old plane must have been out of date!
There's more, much more, but all in the fullness of time.
