In the late 1960s, for purpose of contemporaneously meeting demand and controlling production costs, Britten-Norman moved its manufacturing operations from the U.K. to Romania.

In an ironic reversal of fortune, the company, in June 2023, announced aircraft production would return to Britten-Norman’s historic digs in the village of Bembridge on the U.K.’s Isle of Wight. As expected, the FAA has extended the comment period 90 days for its NPRM titled “Modernization of Special Airworthiness Certification” that was published July 24, 2023. In that document, the FAA proposed to amend rules for the manufacture, certification, operation, maintenance and alteration of light-sport aircraft. The comment period for the NPRM published July 24, 2023, at 88 FR 47650, and scheduled to close Oct. 23, 2023, is now extended to Jan. 22, 2024. Aviation leaders from flight-schools and aeronautical universities converged upon San Diego in late September 2023 for the inaugural Envision Flight Edu-Con symposium. The event provided a unique platform for aviation educators and professionals nationwide to exchange ideas, share experiences, and delve into the world of aviation teaching and training.
