G-Reg PropJet?
Has anyone ever tried to register a Malibu/Mirage turbine convesion (JetProp DLX) with the CAA in the UK?
I see a number of EASA registered ones- with French, German and other (Spanish, Dutch ++?) appearing to feature in Plane Pictures (see link below). Assuming they are JetProps rather than Meridians, then presuumably the CAA would not have any problem accepting one onto the G-reg (!). Does anyone have any experience of this?
Any advice welcomed.

AIUI, the CAA is out of the picture now as far as the initial acceptance goes.
If a type has been previously on any EU register than it can go on any other EU register now, under EASA.
I am suprised to find Jetprops on EU reg - interesting! Never thought this was possible. The conversion is done under an FAA STC so somebody must have done the paperwork based on that.
I suggest contacting the owners directly.

Jetprop
The conversion was approved via an FAA STC ST00541SE - this was subsequently validated by the German LBA under SA1189, so it's automatically accepted in all EASA states without any further investigation.

Excellent news. The Jetprop would be my choice as one of the few (the only??) pressurised turboprops under 2000kg, if I ever wanted to go faster. Of course, the Epic Escape is the one to really watch but god knows how long EASA will take to certify the Epic range

The Epic comes in over your 2,000Kg MTOW ... so IFR charges for you, my friend !
I reckon you should try a Silver Eagle (that's the O&N bare-metal-up rebuild of a P210, with the Rolls Royce engine) - it's amazing. Luxurious, fast enough, with incredible STOL performance (you can get them out of less than 300 yards, and stop them in around 500 feet) , great load carrying performance (as with all the 210 range) and, as those guys in Ireland found, they even seem to keep going if you accidentally leave half a wing in a tree as you depart !
One day ...
