 Posted: Sat Feb 24, 2007 5:12 am Post subject: E-LSA airworthiness certificate question |
 |
|
I have a few questions for your Kolbers who are flying with an E-LSA
airworthiness certificate, not Experimental Amateur Built.
1) Did you have any trouble getting liability insurance for ELSA
certificated aircraft?
2) Who did you get insurance with?
3) How much are you paying for liability only?
I'm asking because I keep hearing that insurance for ELSAs is
problematic but that may be just for hull insurance. I don't see how
the liability insurance would/should be any different from Exp A/B. I
am currently flying an SLSA Allegro but am thinking (dangerous, I know)
of building something and want to know whether liability insurance is
a factor if it has an ELSA certificate.

Thom, I can't answer your insurance question, but I have one for you. What are you thinking of building? The reason I ask is that E-LSA as we know it today does not exist after Jan. 31, 2008 (14 CFR 21.191(i)1). After that E-LSA exists but the aircraft will be kits of existing S-LSA aircraft only, and they MUST be built EXACTLY as the certificated S-LSA. There will be no requirement for percentage of build as there is with EAB (the 51% rule). The manufacturer can leave one set screw out of a knob for the "builder" to install and it will still be an E-LSA.
If you intend to build, you must have the airworthiness certificate and operating limitations by the Jan. 31, 2008 cutoff, not just the registratiion. Currently, the FAA is gauranteeing that those who submit their request for AC and op limits by Nov. 30, 2007 will get them. After that it's a crap shoot.
