The Annual EFLEVA Technical and Business Meeting was held 'in person' again on October 16th this year after a virtual event in 2020 due to the pandemic.  It was followed by the General Assembly (AGM) on the next day.  The meetings took place in Prague and Loman O'Byrne attended on behalf of ILAS.  The main points from both meetings were as follows:

• EFLEVA Experimental Days Fly-in still intended for 2022 but no details as yet 
• The new EFLEVA website is now completed with knowledge base in the members area. Log-in credentials already circulated. Input is needed from member associations. 
• New EASA Part 21L creates a new light type certificate with normal CofA and a self-declared procedure leading to a restricted CofA valid only within EASA territories. Expected in 2022 
• 10 member nations have already opted out of EASA <600/650Kg with 4 more who have agreed but not implemented 
• The EFLEVA insurance scheme, as per previously circulated documents, was approved. Further Information is needed from member associations.
• Membership fees will be rebated by 50% at the next renewal. This will create losses which will reduce the cash balance to reasonable levels. Balances grew too large as a result of low spending during the Covid pandemic  
• Retiring  members of the EFLEVA Executive group Hermann Eigner (DE) and Catherine Dartois (FR) were re-elected.  Sven Kindblom (SW) was added as a new member
