ACCIDENT Aircraft Type and Registration: Breezer B600E, D-ETDK No & Type of Engines
AAIB Bulletin: 6/2017 D-ETDK EW/C2016/08/01 ACCIDENT Aircraft Type and Registration: Breezer B600E, D-ETDK No & Type of Engines: 1 Rotax 912 ULS Year of Manufacture: 2014 Date & Time (UTC): 2 August 2016 at 0933 hrs Location: 2.5 nm NW of Oban Airport, Argyll Type of Flight: Private Persons on Board: Crew - 1 Passengers - 1 Injuries: Crew - 1 (Serious) Passengers - 1 (Serious) Nature of Damage: Aircraft destroyed Commander’s Licence: Light Aircraft Pilot’s Licence Commander’s Age: 63 Commander’s Flying Experience: 2,500 hours (of which 1,200 hours were on type) Last 90 days - 30 hours Last 28 days - 15 hours Information Source: AAIB Field Investigation Synopsis The pilot of D-ETDK, who was flying in loose formation with a group of similar aircraft, slowed his aircraft to increase separation from the aircraft ahead. His aircraft then encountered an updraught from airflow over a ridge and stalled. He lost control of the aircraft and deployed the ballistic recovery system (BRS), but there was insufficient time for the aircraft to achieve a stabilised descent before it struck the ground. The investigation concluded that the stall and subsequent loss of control were made more likely because: the aircraft was susceptible to turbulence and wind gradient because of its low inertia; the Centre of Gravity (CG) was probably behind the aft limit; and the aircraft’s speed had been reduced to maintain separation from other aircraft joining the circuit. History of the flight D-ETDK departed Glenforsa Airfield on the Isle of Mull at 0918 hrs for a flight to Oban Airport in Argyll. -

Revised Listing of Amateur Built Aircraft Kits
REVISED LISTING OF AMATEUR-BUILT AIRCRAFT KITS Updated on: June 22, 2021 The following is a revised listing of aircraft kits that have been evaluated and found eligible in meeting the “major portion” requirement of Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) Part 21, Certification Procedures for Products and Parts, specifically, § 21.191(g). • This listing is only representative of those kits where the kit manufacturer or distributor requested an evaluation by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for eligibility and should not be construed as meaning the kit(s) are FAA “certified,” “certificated,” or “approved.” • There are other aircraft kits that may allow a builder to meet the “major portion” requirement of § 21.191(g), but those manufacturers or distributors have not requested an FAA evaluation. • The placement of an aircraft kit on this list is not a prerequisite for airworthiness certification. • The primary purpose of this listing is to assist FAA Inspectors/Designees and other interested individuals by eliminating the duplication of evaluations for “major portion” determination when the aircraft is presented for airworthiness certification as an “Amateur-Built Experimental.” • Kit manufacturers or distributors whose status is unknown are identified with a question (?) mark and their address has been deleted. Additional Information and Guidance • Advisory Circular (AC) 20-27G, Certification and Operation of Amateur-Built Aircraft. • FAA Order 8130.35B, Amateur-Built Aircraft National Kit Evaluation Team • Contact your local FAA Flight Standards District Office (FSDO) or Manufacturing Inspection District Office (MIDO).

AIRCRAFT SPRUCE KITS COZY MARK IV the Cozy MK IV Is a High-Performance, Four-Seat Canard Aircraft Which Is Comfortable, Efficient, and Economical to Build
AIRCRAFT SPRUCE KITS COZY MARK IV The Cozy MK IV is a high-performance, four-seat canard aircraft which is comfortable, efficient, and economical to build. It has a range of about 1,000 miles and a top speed of 200 mph. When constructed according to plans and operated within the approval C. G. range, the canard con fig u ra- tion makes it highly resistant to stalls or loss of position control. The MK IV features full dual control and two-axis trim. The composite con struc tion is very strong, resistant to corrosion and fatigue, and offers better protection to the occupants than other types of construction. Aircraft Spruce acquired the Cozy design rights in January 2004 and is now the sole source for Cozy plans and info packs.
