UK's PFA Issues Two Urgent Bulletins For Europa Aircraft

Tailflutter Suspected In Fatal Accident

Aero-News has learned the United Kingdom's Popular Flying Association has issued two mandatory safety bulletins to all Europa owners, following a recent fatal accident which appears to have involved an in-flight break up caused by tailplane flutter.

PFA Engineering staff are working with the Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) to help them identify the cause of the flutter. In the meantime, the PFA has issued bulletins calling for mandatory inspections of the tailplanes, tailplanes mass balances and rear wing pin attachment before next flight, with the tailplane checks being repeated at every ten flying hours.

The accident aircraft was an early Classic model of Europa, which had previously accrued over 900 flying hours.

Affected owners may download the bulletins in .pdf form at the FMI links below.
