Modification & Repair Worklist Below is a list of modification and repair applications that are awaiting review by our engineers. The top of each list represents the next one in that list to be reviewed. Each engineer's workload is listed separately - engineers also have tasks that are not mods and repairs. New applications received in the last week are not shown and will be added to the relevant engineer's list shortly after allocation (allocation usually takes place each Tuesday). The lists are not currently real time, but will be updated at least weekly. Note that we operate a priority system that aims to put jobs involving accidentally grounded aircraft ahead of longer term projects - new or returning tasks may therefore be added above existing tasks.

Armstrong/Isaacs Bursary applications now open! Winners of 2025 Bursaries below. Five bursaries of up to £1,500 are offered every year to support young pilots already in PPL training. To qualify for these bursaries you must be under 30, are required to already have reached ‘first solo’ standard, have completed a minimum of five hours solo training and have gained the necessary medical and ground qualifications to continue your training. To apply, please download and complete the application form below. AppYo Simon Grainger (above - left) Flying has been a dream of mine for as long as I can remember. The sense of freedom and the challenge of mastering flight are aspects that keep me motivated. In the future, I plan to become a flight instructor, sharing my passion with others while continuing to grow as a pilot. I see instructing not only as a way to give back but as a powerful opportunity to inspire and support the next generation of aviators. Being awarded the Armstrong Isaacs Bursary is a significant step in my journey and I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity. This support will allow me to continue my training with renewed focus and momentum, bringing me closer to achieving my goal of completing my PPL and becoming a fully qualified pilot. I would like to thank the LAA and its members for this opportunity, which I hope to repay in the future through continued involvement in the aviation community. Calvin Sucharov (above - right) I am currently working towards the navigation portion of the PPL and my plan is to continue with this and hopefully r I am currently working towards the navigation portion of the PPL and my plan is to continue with this and hopefully receive my licence in the SummerThanks to the LAA bursary, I can continue my flying training and hopefully become a CFI later on as I enjoy teaching and aviation - a perfect mix! I also plan on applying to university for aeronautical engineering so receiving this competitive bursary will hopefully help me to secure a place. I look forward to my solo cross country and flying to places such as Shoreham, Kemble and Popham, I just need the weather on my side now! Tom Hathaway (below - left) The Armstrong Isaac's Bursary has allowed me to accelerate progress in gaining my PPL, and a step closer to my dream of being a pilot. Without it, there is no doubt I would be a number of months away from completion, but with it I hope to be a PPL holder within a short number of weeks. I am extremely grateful for this opportunity and can't wait to get my remaining lessons booked! Armstrong/Isaacs bursaries are funded from the Armstrong/Isaacs Fund, which is based on a major donation from David Armstrong, who was a founder member of the original ULAA in 1947, a lifelong member of the LAA’s predecessor the PFA and the latter’s chairman from 1960 to 1964. His legacy, co-named with that of aircraft designer and builder John Isaacs, has, since 1998 enabled many young prospective pilots to gain their PPL. HOW TO APPLY All applications must be completed on the form below: APPLICATION FORM (Please complete in full) Please complete and email to [email protected] with the subject title Armstrong/Isaacs Bursary. It should arrive on or before the closing date of 1st March 2026. The LAA may contact you for further information, and may request an interview, if it is thought necessary.

Lycoming Lycoming engines in certain specific airframe types have been approved by the CAA for the use of unleaded Mogas, using the process described in CAP747 , See Section 2, Part 4, General Concession 5. This involves purchasing an STC (Supplemental Type Certificate) from either the EAA or Petersen Aviation in the USA and carrying out the actions called for by the STC. The procedures stated in CAP747 may be followed for LAA aircraft but only for aircraft with the exact same engine/airframe combinations quoted on in CAP747.. An LAA inspector must check that the aircraft operator has obtained a copy of CAP747, Section 2, Part 4, GC5 and of the appropriate STC and complied with the actions called for therein, and signed off a suitable logbook entry accordingly before the aircraft may be flown with unleaded Mogas.

< Back New LAA Inspectors - Umberto Izzo & Simon Boynett 26 Jan 2024 It is time to introduce you to two more new LAA Inspectors - Umberto Izzo and Simon Boynett, who both attended an LAA Inspector Assessment Day in December, with our Chief Inspector, Lucy. Umberto's experience is mainly in general aviation and microlight aircraft (metal, fabric and composites), either Lycoming, Continental or Rotax-powered. He is also IRMT-approved. He owns a share in Jodel 1050. Simon is a retired Licensed Aircraft Engineer with 44 years of experience working on Commercial Passenger and Cargo aircraft. He has a B1 and B2 CAA licence (Airframes, Engines and Electrical generation systems) B2 (Avionics, Auto flight, Auto land systems, Radio and Radar). In addition to this, he has an FAA issued A & P licence. He put a lot of blood, sweat and tears into building his own Vans RV 7, that he still loves to fly today as often as he can. Although retired, he still has aeroplanes and safety in his blood and looks forward to helping others to keep the high standards the LAA require, and to advise and certify Maintenance and Permit to Fly revalidation inspections.
