Below is a dialogue that Samantha Moore and I have been having off- line. If anyone in the Carson City, Nevada area is looking for a good instructor, you might...
Some of this sounds silly. So, if a guy has a E-LSA WSC with two wings (Fast and slow) and trailers the trike. If he flys the fast wing on Monday. Packs up and...
"And what does this mean, > Samantha: I can do the logbook entry myself. This is because I am the "builder", even though I didn't build it myself." Previously,...
Not silly. Just hilarius. I don't think FAA personnel in the field have good idea on how to deal with aircraft that can take down the "wing". If this was taken...
Scott, Bungard here. I have just completed the weight shift repairman maintenance course and it is true that if you change a wing that has not previously been...
Okay, that was not what the poster mentioned. They talked about a wing that had ALREADY been on the trike. I think somebody got it wrong. ST ... From: "NEIL...
For clarification let's take a look at the previous post: The question was: Bob: "Did the DAR or anyone from the FAA advise you whether an entry into the log...
Oh Well, that would be me. Regards NB Scott Toland <scott@...> wrote: Okay, that was not what the poster mentioned. They talked about a wing that had...
Not at all Neal. I was looking for answers regarding a new wing as well as a previously flown wing. Your post reinforced Samantha's experience with her E-LSA'd...
Q & A: Question of the Week EAA Aviation Services I accidentally deleted my folder of previous e-Hotline newsletters. Is there a way you could re-send several...
Okay, I'm not exactly sure where the confusion stems from, could be me not understanding what the posters said. But just to clear things up (I hope). I ... ...
Thank you Scott. I think I caused the confusion by putting too many questions in the same pot. My understanding of Samantha's and Neil's experience is that it...
Putting the regular wing onto a trike is just part of the "setup". It is not "maintenance" and it's not "change". Everyone who wishes to operate a WSC needs to...
Thank you, Mike. When all else fails get back to basics. Part 61.87 (m) (1) and (16) pre-flight assembly/disassembly and rigging. That is the answer. Regards,...
I registered mine AB before ELSA grandfather was born in hopes that would be the way to go and I would be ahead of the game. That did not happen obviously and...
Okay, I "think" this is the question on members minds. ... I'll take a stab at making some sense here. Forgive me if it takes a few tries. LSA is simply ANY...
Here are my thoughts Scott, subject to change without notice: Reference: http://www.faa.gov/aircraft/air_cert/airworthiness_certification/sp_a wcert/ Standard...
Bob, Go here: http://www.faa.gov/aircraft/air_cert/airworthiness_certification/sp_awcert/ You will see that the answer to your question is that ELSA are a ...
If you look at the FAA sites and forms I think you'll see that E/LSA is a sub of EXP since there is no LSA certificate per se. And S-LSA is a sub of SPECIAL. ...
Thank you, Bill. That's the answer. I agree that an E-LSA Airworthiness Certificate falls under Experimental FAR Part 21.191 (i). But I'm still struggling with...
Scott, here is a site with the new form 8130-6, "Application for U.S. Airworthiness Certificate" dated 10-04, that shows LSA having its' own place on the form...
Hi Bob, A manufacturer CAN backdate ASTM compliance on machines built by them if they determine no changes were necessary for their design and processes to...
Hi Abid, From what I gather, the main advantage of LSA is the ability to fully use it commercially in any FBO type of operation. Otherwise, when I compare...
Yes unless you are running a commercial operation like renting or instructing ... S-LSA ... is overkill. E-LSA is more appropriate for a private guy. Regarding...
Hi Bob, Gleim in Gainesville Florida is completely 100% focused on fixed wing aircraft "only". So it would not be surprising that they do not know WSC...
