There are lots of strange quasi-definitions around regarding aspects of certification. Usually, this is a well-intentioned aim to make things a litt...
As I don't have the original documents for reference, better if Bob responds to the specific question. However, as a sideline note - You refer ...
An interesting report. It suggests quite strongly that the pilot's training was more than rather inadequate in some areas .. one hopes that this is ...
First, if the examiner, either in the exam or in an exam-related text on the CASA site, specifies a conversion factor, then that is the one to use, qu...
LSA certification is not a specific area in my engineering background. However, from what I am aware, for this class of aircraft, the whole shoo...
Now, let's have a look at the J170-D. On a general basis, I have comments similar to the J160s. However, the trimsheet has one quite serious and...
Now let's have a look at the J160-D trimsheet. Comments for this sheet are much the same as for the J160-C - both the POH and the trimsheet really ...

Perhaps you glossed over a comment earlier ? The reference to the POH instructions specifically concerned the instruction to round off the trimline...
It appears that my optimism may have been misplaced a tad. A straightforward engineering review of the sheet indicates that it (probably) has been ...
