Hi Brian and all,
As a Europa Inspector for the LAA for many years I do have to report that I
have found at least two other wing/flap screwed and locktited pins to be not
tight. ie I have managed to unscrew them with my fingers only. In the past I
have treated these instances as one offs but this event with G-UMPY
highlights the possible need for a mandatory or MPD to cover this issue. I
do highlight that I have found loose not only the flap drive pin but also
the main leading and trailing edge pins.

Hi Graeme, these pins at time of fitting should have been loctited into
place. I think you bought the kit part built didn't you? did you build the
flaps?
