Fred, It was a genuine failing on G-DAMY in the UK. On this occasion you can trust those who oversee our fun! :-) It was a one-off, and it led to an investigation that gave cause for concerns - hence
Paul, Yes, you need the mod - every Europa does. I'm guessing A212 is an XS; if I'm right you'll be in the 25-hour category. My suspicion is that the hours restriction doesnt apply outside the UK, bu
Sean, I can help on this one. The aircraft that experienced the failure was one of the early classics that had a different TP18 - as is 'WB, by the sounds of it. There was a mod on them that raised t

Nooooooo! ACS(E) are no more, dead, deceased, pushing up the daisies... LCS have struck a deal with ACS where you CAN (not MUST!) buy ACS parts from them, ACS ship to LCS twice a week, LCS then forwa
Guys, I wanted to give you a post-script to what was an unhappy episode but is now very much sorted. I just spoke with Scott Powell (who runs LAS) and he's been very keen to resolve the problems I've
