The topics on the left all link to their own web page on this CD. With in those pages there may be links to PDF files also located on this CD.
This CD is indented to give the IA or pilot most of the knowledge required to inspect aircraft and is based heavily on FAA AC43-13b. It will not replace experience but should help you gain experience. An IA should also be a person who can give advice on most technical matters. This CD also contains a copy of BCAR Section S (light aeroplanes) and BCAR Section T (Gyros), these are British airworthyness standards for these types of aircraft and are acceptable standards for the NZ CAA. Under the Regulatory compliance section you will find links to all the CAA regulations pertinent to microlights. In time it is hoped this will grow into a full resource.
