Technical Datasheets

One object of publishing this data is that it will eventually replace that at present given on the BGA C of A documents. Where manufacturer's manuals exist they should clearly be used but where they have been lost these data sheets should provide sufficient information to conduct a normal C of A.

This information is believed to be correct at the time of publication but no guarantee is given as to its accuracy, nor can any liability be accepted for the consequences of any errors. If anyone finds any errors or omissions please contact Tim Macfadyen at Tim@macfadyenhome.freeserve.co.uk.

The types listed here are the ones for which I have acquired the manufacturer's handbooks. If anyone could lend me other handbooks I would be most grateful and will return them promptly. My address is Highbank, Selsley Rd, North Woodchester, Stroud, Glos, GL5 5PH, UK. Data for motorgliders is not included as this is normally kept with the aircraft. Data for older types is most useful as it is much more difficult to acquire than for modern types. We will not publish data for 1 offs or prototypes as it is of no general use.

Download all datasheets (1.3Mb), or download them individually below (latest update 8/5/2008).
