The Optica and Sprint aircraft were loaned to the Light Aircraft Association (LAA) for their inaugural week-long Flight Test Course, jointly run in conjunction with the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA). The course was run from Turweston aerodrome near Brackleyand and was hailed as a 'huge success' by participants. It is planned that the course will run twice yearly from now on. Further information on the course can be found on the LAA Flight Test Course page
