I think this falls into the Gold Plate/Red tape topic.
At last I have had confirmation that the Gardan Horizons GY80 in the U.K will be granted Permits to fly and the CAA have asked the LAA to administer the airworthiness on their behalf and make recommendations for the Issue of the PtF for each aircraft.
What is sad is that there are only 6 left flying in the U.K, many had become too costly under a CoFA with no type support and no spares to be viable aircraft. Perhaps some of those may come back to flying condition, but it is definately a diminishing fleet.
So well done CAA, EASA and LAA for allowing this all to happen.
