Micro Vortex Generators Micro Vortex Generators are small aluminium blades placed in a spanwise line aft of the leading edge of the wing and on tail surfaces. They control airflow over the upper surface of the wing by creating vortices that energize the boundary layer. This results in improved performance and control authority at low airspeeds and high angles of attack.

CHECK YOUR INSURANCE ! Give us plenty of time to get you a Better Insurance Quote According to Chris Varley, Chairman of Export & General (E&G) Insurance, businesses are rarely proactive in looking early for better insurance premiums, which can contribute significantly to wider cost-cutting measures. “Whether you need insurance for your aircraft, hangar-keeper’s liability insurance, professional indemnity insurance, speaking to us early, perhaps a couple of months before the renewal date, can mean significant savings,” says Varley, who adds “We’re happy to remind you so feel free to let us know your current renewal dates.”

Insuring ‘The Flying Reporter’
E&G has long been an insurer that is happy to source cover for all kinds of businesses, and E&G Aviation was fortunate enough recently to find insurance for former BBC journalist/videographer Jon Hunt, best known in the GA world as The Flying Reporter.
Having left the BBC last year, Jon started to think how he could use his popular Flying Reporter brand to grow a video production business, and with that he realised having the proper insurance was critical — both for the YouTube filmmaking and his private client film production work. Both often see him filming airside — on airfields and airports, on the ramp and even in/around other people’s aircraft. Jon said: “Having gone independent as a video producer from my job as a BBC reporter and videographer, I needed Airside Liability and Professional Indemnity
insurance. The difficulty I had was the broker I was using couldn’t find me the right cover, which was frustrating — and I thought I’d never get cover.
“But then I spoke with Chris Varley at Export & General, and he got sensible quotes for me within 24 hours. Chris knew the right people to deal with and completely understood what I needed — which all made it a pleasant experience.” I am available for hire for video work and intend to continue making interesting flying videos, while also developing useful aviation-related content for my subscribers.
