1877 Issue 2 Date: 20 June 2005
MICROLIGHT AIRWORTHINESS APPROVAL NOTE MAAN NO:1877 ISSUE 2 DATE: 20 JUNE 2005 TITLE: Microlight Airworthiness Approval Note 1877, Shadow D, DD and D-SS aircraft, resolution of pitch circuit resonance (elevator flutter) concerns. STAGE: Approval. 1. INTRODUCTION The CFM Shadow D, DD and D-SS are Type Approved microlight types described in Microlight TADS BM55. During the flight testing of a prototype Shadow ED aircraft, G-THAI under authority of MAAN 1824 it was found that the aircraft suffered from a divergent resonance of the pitch control circuit; this was considered unacceptable and also non-compliant with BCAR S181. The sole currently flying example of the Shadow D-SS, G-MZLP was subsequently tested and shown to display similar characteristics. Following on from this, the BMAA conducted sample testing of two Shadow DD aircraft and four Shadow CD aircraft. Based upon this, the following conclusions were reached:- (1) Shadow CD aircraft (and thus by read-across, the B, BD and C aircraft) do not show any significant tendency towards pitch circuit resonance. (2) Shadow D-SS and DD aircraft (and thus by read-across D aircraft) do show a tendency towards pitch circuit resonance, which can become divergent. Where this becomes divergent it is unacceptable, in other cases, it is still a cause for concern. It was therefore decided that action was required to minimise the risk of a flutter related accident in a D, DD or D-SS Shadow. Issue 1 of this MAAN released Service Bulletin MAAN 1877/1 issue 1 which required a mandatory test flight before further flight, immediate grounding of any aircraft which showed divergent elevator flutter, and in any case grounding of all aircraft in this series from 20 June 2005 unless a permanent solution to the problem of elevator flutter could be found. -

Nigel Charles Looks at the Europa's Dramatically Changed, Graceful Performance with Motor-Glider Wings
FLIGHT TEST Europa XS Motorglider Nigel Charles looks at the Europa’s dramatically changed, graceful performance with motor-glider wings Photos Andrea Featherby Europa XS Motorglider t has been 18 years since I first saw the he recognised that the requirement for long, straightforward design idea for the main wheel, Europa prototype at the PFA Rally at tarmac runways (readily available in the USA) was but his idea to use the flaps to retract the Wroughton. I think I knew almost a handicap in Europe. The UK, for example, has outriggers (like the Harrier jump jet) was a stroke immediately that the Europa was going to be over 500 airfields with runways over 400m but of genius. From this concept the design of the Isomething special.

Europa Classic Trigear Conversion to an Experimental Amateur Built Light
Europa Classic Trigear Conversion to an Experimental Amateur Built Light Sport Aircraft (EABLSA) by use of Vortex Generators normally used for STOL Modifications Testing Dates 3 January 2010 thru 15 September 2010 Test Aircraft: N12AY Europa Classic Kit Power plant: Rotax 914 Propeller: Warp Drive three blade 64 inch wide chord This test was conducted to determine the feasibility of modifying a Europa Classic or XS kit aircraft to Light Sport Aircraft (LSA) standards. Experience has shown that the Europa kit aircraft is an efficient comfortable cruising aircraft with pleasing lines and superb flight characteristics. Many LSA aircraft are limited in cruise speed, strength, efficiency and comfort, which the Europa is not. The criteria for an aircraft to meet LSA, is in Ref 1 at the end of this document. Aerodynamically, the Europa wing is capable of generating a 1.7 Cl. Simple solution of the lift equation indicates the aircraft should stall at approximately 49 Knots for the XS and 53 for the Classic allowing for the slight differences in wing area. The LSA criteria set for the by the Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) calls for a controllable stall at 45 KIAS. My experience with adding vortex generators (VGs) to the Zenith and Piper Aircraft for STOL operations showed that a full length set of VGs, properly placed can lower the stall speed 5- 8 knots. The application of VGs should bring the stall speed of the Europa down to just meet the criteria listed in Ref 1. Since the maximum continuous power setting of the 914 is 73.5 KW or 95 HP the next problem is achieving a propeller setting that will absorb the power but limit the Europa to 120 Kts IAS cruise at sea level. -

Bmaa Technical Information Leaflet (Til) Til 069 Issue 2
BMAA TECHNICAL INFORMATION LEAFLET (TIL) TIL 069 ISSUE 2 SERIES MAJOR MODIFCATIONS 1. Introduction BMAA major modifications that have been both well defined by the original applicant and for which quality control procedures have been put in place are defined as ‘series’ modifications. Subsequent applicants apply for these in the same way as for ‘one-off’ BMAA modifications (using form BMAA/AW/002a), but do not need to provide a technical justification. Notes: o Series modifications must be identical to the first approval; if there is any change or non-compliance with respect to the original MAAN then a new approval is required. o Note that BMAA ‘series’ major modifications may not be applied for with a Permit revalidation application. This is because a Flight Release Certificate has to be issued and then signed by a BMAA Inspector. o BMAA 'series' major modifications are now charged at a reduced rate (compared to ‘one-off’ modifications). A list of existing BMAA 'series' modifications can be found below. 2. Existing BMAA Series Major Modifications The table below contains a list of issued BMAA ‘Series’ Major Modifications (up to January 2021 / MAAN 2864). The ‘Type(s)’ and ‘Brief description’ are indicative only; the BMAA Technical Office should be consulted prior to applying for the modification to confirm the details of the modification.
