Warbird pilots got some good news from the FAA during EAA AirVenture last
month. "The FAA has proposed removing the proficiency area requirements
currently in place for warbirds," said EAA Warbirds of America (WOA)
Executive Director Bill Fischer. "It will mean that a civilian pilot who
flies a military or surplus aircraft can fly it anywhere that a civil
aircraft can go." Current FAA regulations restrict most warbird flights to
600 miles or less from their home bases. WOA has been involved in a
"continuing dialog" with the FAA to try to ease those restrictions for
qualified pilots, Fischer said. "The FAA continues to stress that warbirds
in civilian operation are intended for exhibition and not for personal
transport, but they have conceded that lifting the area restrictions will
not affect the safety of the pilots or the public."
