FAA RELEASES ORDER 8130.2F CHANGE 2
During the second week in July, FAA released Change
2 to FAA Order 8130.2F,
|
Quote: | which specifies the requirements and procedures for
DARs and FAA inspectors
|
Quote: | to use when certificating aircraft, including
experimental light-sport
|
Quote: | (ELSA) and special light-sport (SLSA). This
revision made some very
|
Quote: | beneficial changes for ELSA operating limitations
and other significant
|
Quote: | changes for SLSA.
With the new revision, which is now effective, ELSAs
will have additional
|
Quote: | flight privileges previously available only to
experimental amateur-built
|
Quote: | (EAB) aircraft, including flight over densely
populated areas, in congested
|
Quote: | areas, and over open-air assemblies of persons.
Additionally, night and IFR
|
Quote: | flight will be allowed if the aircraft is properly
equipped.
|
Quote: |
If you own an ELSA certificated before last week,
you would be well advised
|
Quote: | to request a revision to your operating limitations
and airworthiness
|
Quote: | certificate. Just contact the FAA inspector or DAR
who certificated your
|
Quote: | aircraft; in all likelihood, he/she will be able to
issue the revisions
|
Quote: | without having to make another inspection visit.
The biggest change for SLSA is that DARs are now
allowed to issue the
|
Quote: | production flight test permit by telegraphic means
or FAX. Thus, the DAR
|
Quote: | will have to make only one visit to the
manufacturer's, agent's, or dealer's
|
Quote: | facility instead of two that were often required
with the previous revision.
|
Quote: |

new Order, please visit
