norman Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 (edited) Geoff Soden of Paramotors UK has done some fantastic work with the CAA. The 10 ltr rule is going to be removed and the Air Navigation Order is going to be amended to that effect. Click on the graphic for the document.

huffhuff Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Sorry, just needed to go read to get the answer; Further to ParamotorsUK ongoing communication last year and recently with the CAA regarding the 10 ltr fuel tank rule after it was inadvertantly bought to their attention, we can now announce that the CAA have agreed to the remove the rule from the ANO in due course. The ANO will be amended at the next reprint and the 10 ltr rule will be removed. Until such time it is suggested that some marking level marking is provided on the tanks to a volume not exceeding 10 ltrs then the aircraft can remain within the definition by that means. Thanks must also go to RMH for his letter which undoubtedly helped with regards to the competition side of the ruleing enforcement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onrisk won't have any problem if we are within the ANO - which we are now, I'm dead chuffed since I have a large tank too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
