Data point:  We had a fatal UL accident just north of Tampa

Beauford

FF #076

Brandon, FL



Beauford:



Had just pulled up the newspaper account of the accident when I 

received your post.



Here is a url:

BTW:  Don't know if you have been informed or not.  Those of us who 

prefer to use the old email system for the Kolb List may attach small 

files to our email posts.  Is much quicker than waiting on Matte to 

upload.



Hope all is well in Brandon, including your hard drive.

PS:  Spent the weekend with some quality company at the Flyin in 

Lucedale, MS.  Believe we had 9 Kolb owners present, though we did not 

have 9 Kolb aircraft.  Some of us are still grounded.

More stuff on the UL crash in Florida.

Seems the pilot had minimum training, was flying an unregistered 

airplane, not an UL, and in the process killed himself and his son. 

Damn shame.



Take care,

I pulled up an article on the crash from the Tampa paper, and sent the 

reporter covering the story a heads up email on the difference between an 

"ultralight" and an unregistered airplane, and it looks like the Feds are 

the source of the misinformation.

Here is a copy of the reporter's reply:



Hi, Mr. Pike. Thanks for your information. I had read the regs on the 

ultralights on the site yesterday when I did the story, but I had to rely on 

the FAA folks, whose investigator went on the scene and determined it was an 

ultralight - and the FAA also told me that they could only have two people 

if they had the waiver. It seems highly unlikely that Mr. Tedesco had the 

required training licenses to have qualified for the waiver that would allow 

him to have a passenger with him to train, given what his instructor told 

me. But, I did not have enough facts to say that definitively in the 

article - particularly without access to his family who might know. That's 

what the FAA is checking on today.

Your information should be helpful in phrasing questions to the FAA, so I 

appreciate it very much. Thank you.

<end quotes>

Sounds like the usual "I'm here from the guv'ment and I'm here to help 

you..."

Forgiving is tough, being forgiven is wonderful, and God's grace really is amazing.
