Guys, I sent an e mail to my FSDO saying that I would be flying to Porterville with the dates & reason. They said I was good to go, & then I received another e mail saying that they had no record of previous Program Letters & would I please send them one. Since I did not go anywhere in 2010, I sent them a copy of my 2009 letter. They wrote back & said the 2009 letter was invalid & they wanted one from 2010. Are we required to send a letter even if the airplane sits in a hanger for the year & no flights are planned? Also, is the letter only for flights outside the 300 mile limit, or all fly-in, exhibitions, etc? Any comments or experiences? Thanks.

Answer - Yes, you ARE required to submit an Program letter each year.
As ridiculous as this is since there is no longer a proficiency area,
AIR 200 in DC when they issued the letter removing the 300/600 mile
proficiency area in Sept. 2007, didn't bother to think about Program
letters. Anyway, the aircraft's Operating Limitations dictate what you
must do.

No you are not required to send the letter for a year you didn't fly the
plane. They are only good for one year at a time anyway

My understanding (and what the FSDO told me) is that you have to file a program letter every year. Mine basically says I'm going to fly my plane whenever I want to do training and airshows and FAST proficiency stuff and take it to places for maintenance and above. If you have the 300 mile limit (easy to remove in my experience helping a friend who had it) then those flights have to be on the letter.

I add airshow appearances that I'm planning on doing but it's one of those bits of paper the FSDO needs in your folder every year. Mine courteously sends me a reminder every year and I just update the dates and airshows and send it back to them.

It's paperwork, they always want the paperwork regardless of what you're doing from what I understand.

Kregg, the operating limitations state what must be done and I'm pretty
certain like most operating limitations, say a Program letter must be
submitted each year. Here is the wording from FAA Order 8130.2(x). Page
178. (37) The owner/operator of this aircraft must submit an annual
program letter update to the local FSDO that lists airshows, fly-ins,
etc., that will be attended during the next year, commencing at
the time this aircraft is released into phase II operation. This list of
events may be amended, as applicable, by letter or fax to the FSDO prior
to the intended operation amendments. A copy of the highlighted
aeronautical chart, when applicable, must be carried aboard this
aircraft and be available to the pilot.

Even if the airplane is not going to fly, a Program Letter must be
submitted and can state "No events scheduled for 20xx". This fulfills
the OL's requirements. Should the airplane fly and then need to attend
an event, it can be submitted as an amendment to the Program Letter by
FAX to the FSDO.

FSDO's/FSDO inspectors can not verbally override an aircraft's OL's.
The OL's always take precedent.

I sent out an amendment to my Program Letter today and the Safety Inspector asked me to re-submit it because it did not have dates for the events listed.

I also made the mistake of listing an air show that had been called off for this year. This was mentioned, although I don't understand why it needed to be.

Of interest is that no Program Letter submitted over the last 10 years had dates on them.

I decided to simply say in the (revised) letter that I could not make any firm commitments for Air Show events for this calendar year due to job obligations, which is the truth. I also mentioned I would advise them in advance if my schedule decided to allow me to attend any future event.

I then gave them a list of all scheduled Air Shows for 2011 for reference.

Hopefully that will meet their requirements.

The list of events that you intend to go to is not mandatory and you do not have to tell the FAA if you fail to attend. Further, you are not required to ask their permission to attend anything that is not on your original Program Letter.

What you DO have to do is to NOTIFY them in ADVANCE if you actually GO to an event.

So which would you prefer to do? Not turn in any program letter for the
year because you don't have any planned events/activities and get asked
by some inspector, "can you show me your Program Letter please", or
carry one with you that says "No EVENTS scheduled". Personally, I'll
carry one that says "no events scheduled".

I'm not trying to be adversarial here. Everyone reading this can make
their own decision as to whether they want to submit and carry a copy of
a Program Letter or not, regardless of whether there are planned
activities (events scheduled) or not. I believe in maintaining a low
profile when it comes to the FAA.

That does'nt make any sense Dennis. If you are not attending events, then why would you be concerned with a ranp check? On Apr 15, 2011 4:09am, "A.

They will not accept a program letter with nothing on it.

They will also not accept a program letter with EVERYTHING on it.

They will not accept NO program letter since your Operating Limitations
says you must turn one in.

In my mind, this is a kind of game.... and I have been through a lot of
games like this, since I work for the Govt. too.

Here is the bottom line:

The FAA has guidelines and requirements that they must follow.

Some of these impact us as Experimental Exhibition owners.

Logic and reason have nothing to do with this... so don't go there.

Figure out.. .and if necessary ASK THEM just what it is they require and
just do it. You lose NOTHING by going along with the game.

It is tempting to get into a verbal fight with these people. Believe
me... BELIEVE ME... I know that myself.

Here's the plus: I met one gentlemen locally at my FISDO that I
respect, and who I believe is being totally honest with me. If you can
find a person like I have, you are really in luck. I can TALK to this
guy. And I honestly believe he has my best interests in mind. So I
asked him. He told me. I did what he told me to do. All seems to be
well.

I suggest this course of action to all. "Low Profile" is exactly right.

So which would you prefer to do? Not turn in any program letter for the

year because you don't have any planned events/activities and get asked
by some inspector, "can you show me your Program Letter please", or
carry one with you that says "No EVENTS scheduled". Personally, I'll
carry one that says "no events scheduled".

I'm not trying to be adversarial here. Everyone reading this can make
their own decision as to whether they want to submit and carry a copy of

a Program Letter or not, regardless of whether there are planned
activities (events scheduled) or not. I believe in maintaining a low
profile when it comes to the FAA.

So you wouldn't get ramp checked at your own airport? I've personally gotten ramp checked at the damndest places. I once had a former fellow PAA pilot and good friend ramp check me! It may "not make any sense" EXCEPT to the FAA.

If you are flying an airplane, you always have to be concerned with a
ramp check.

If you believe that FAA ramp checks are totally random, you are
mistaken.

Assuming that what the FAA does always makes sense is an example of an
Oxymoron.

The game depends on the vintage of your program letter. In the 300NM
"Proficiency" days you did not need a program letter unless you were going
outside the 300 NM. I got "RAMPED" 280 NM from home one day and showed the
OPs limits and that was that. No Problem. (also no letter that year)
Also you guys should understand that every FSDO and even inspectors
within a FSDO have different interpretations of what is required. Best to
know your FSDO guy and discuss with him/her what you should do and have him
ready to back you up if needed when some other FSDO guy says differently.

Un officially I will tell you that my FSDO guys pretty much just discarded
my letters after they received them. As you are not REQUIRED to carry a copy
of the letter with you when traveling, then it leaves a lot of room for
"interpretation"

You could be flying locally off your home airport for proficiency (which doesn't have to be on your program letter), and be ramped there.

When I first got my CJ, one of the local CJ gurus told me to anticipate getting ramp checked at every event attended. Told me to have a plastic folder in the aft cockpit that contained:

Copy of license and current medical.
Copy from logbook: Last BFR, last annual, warbird FFA inspection logbook entry.
Phase 2 operating limitations.
Current insurance info.
Picture of expiratory date tag(s) of parachute(s).
Program letter for current year.
Registration & special airworthiness certificate.
Copy of FAST card, if you have one.

I've seen FAA inspectors on the ramp of an airport where there wasn't an
event and ask someone for their paperwork.

activities (events scheduled) or not. I believe in maintaining a low
profile when it comes to the FAA.
