I quite like M-ANSL which is on a Cessna C560 Citation.........Now then I wonder who that may belong to :cool:

Seemingly this aircraft has now been sold,but as the manx reg is transferable it will be interesting to see where it goes next .

IR Spec homebuilts
 

with the exception of ADF, I've seen a number of homebuilt (kit) a/c recently that could be said to be IR capable.

One was a Europa 914S tri-gear that even had an autopilot, the other was some eastern eurpean fantastic plastic. I'm sure there are some RVs etc too.

I thought the LAA (nee PFA) was trying to persuade the CAA to aaccept IMC rated pilots to fly these types (subject to approaval of the installlation) in the clag.

Whilst peering into one cockpit at a show this year an old chap behind me exclaimed "B8gg5r me! that's got more kit than my 737". He flew a 737-200 in Africa:D

It is clear that our enviable safety record across a wide spectrum of aviation is worth keeping and the cost barriers to progress for rank and file pilots must be challenged.

M-UTLY ? (snigger)

This over 5.7T is it?

At the risk of being shot at again for saying read the rules...... But read the rules, specifically for IOM "nationals".......

It only lasted a week. The aircraft has been sold to Sweden as SE-RIT. :)

M-Register
came across this site

Size Matters
 

If you dwell are domiciled or have a business domiciled in the IOM then yes you can request anything to be put on the register, Their aim overall was to develop business links to the island and after a lengthy discussion with the office the bottom line was if we wanted to be on the Manx register anything smaller than a Beech 200 was a no go. Thats it, full stop no debate necessary. So we shelved the idea of a Cheiftain and looked for a B200 instead.

So how did that Trinidad get on there then ?

I'm confused ...

FF :confused:

Because residents of the IOM i.e "nationals" are permitted to go onto the Manx register. So if you are born and bred on the Island you can go on the reg.

It is all available from the IOM website......

Even humble 172s get a look in

Bose - wibble! ;)

M-REG
 

To return to the orignal subject of the M Reg, when I heard about the introduction of M Reg my imagination took off. One thought particularly took hold in my mind.

As we all know, if you want to put your aeroplane on the N Reg, you have to set up a trust under which the legal owner of the aircraft has to be a US citizen. This in all probability means someone you have never met and know nothing of who is even resident in the US.

Now bearing in mind that the residents of Alderney make extra pocket/pin money for themselves being directors of companies to enable those companies to base themselves in Alderney. The thought arises whether in time to come residents of I o M will be able to make pocket/pin money for themselves being the legal owners of aeroplanes based in the UK.

Just a thought.

Broomstick.

Apart from the fact that the IOM have clearly stated they will not allow this to happen to aircraft under 5700kg. If you want to put a light aircraft on the IOM reg it has to be a private aircraft registered to an individual who is an IOM resident.

I suspect a deal has already been done with EASA and the UK CAA looking at the statements they have issued about who is eligible.
