Instead of discussing this on aus-soaring why not take it to the gfaforum list?
You may then get a response from somebody in GFA. I’ll cross post shortly.

I can remember in good old days at keepit Bergfalke would do up to 415hrs in a year. Seems like oversee ice to me.

A form 2 now lasts only for the lesser of 250 hours, or 12 months (Section 11.3.2). Particularly for clubs with high use two seaters, this is an extremely expensive burden. For example, at Southern Cross, this means we'll be almost doubling our Form 2 inspections across the fleet in any given 12 month period. Our DG1000 will be probably subject to 3 most years. Is anyone aware of the rationale behind this change? Considering most of these high use gliders are already subject to 100hrly and/or 3 month inspections, it seems like an extremely expensive exercise that is will not make us any safer. These gliders have been operating for years or decades with a single yearly main checkup. -- Justin Couch http://www.vlc.com.au/ _______________________________________________ Aus-soaring mailing list Aus-soaring@lists.internode.on.net <mailto:Aus-soaring@lists.internode.on.net> To check or change subscription details, visit: http://lists.internode.on.net/mailman/listinfo/aus-soaring _______________________________________________ Aus-soaring mailing list Aus-soaring@lists.internode.on.net <mailto:Aus-soaring@lists.internode.on.net> To check or change subscription details, visit: http://lists.internode.on.net/mailman/listinfo/aus-soaring
