Hi together,

I have news on the FES-project at PZL! I talked to Bernd Hager, who is distributor for PZL in Germany and one of their main investors at the same time.. Bernd was in Poland last week and talked to Andrzej about FES and 55. Here is the news:

•PZL has already build one 55 to modify it with the FES system

•Currently, they are pursuing two other projects with the polish authorities (for Perkoz and 59 Acro) but as soon as they are finished with that they will start the type approval process (might take a year, though)

•They are planning on offering new 55 with FES as well as conversion of existing planes

•Bernd said: “We are definitely doing this” and he will persist in doing it.

Bernd will keep me in the loop with progress and I will be happy to share it. Also, Bernd is looking to get a registry for 55 owners, so if you like, you can contact him at





Bernd also said that it would help speed thinks up if there was a small group of owners that commit to do it to reduce costs with he estimated at 30.000 Euro.


I think this is great news. What do you think?
