Kolb Friends -
Charlie is correct: this is what used to be written in the FARs,
regarding Experimental Amateur-Built aircraft. However, this single
rule was vehemently contested by pilots, EAA, and others. So, about two
years ago, the FAA relaxed the wording (and intent) of the rule that
restricted our homebuilt aircraft from flying over populated areas.
Now, we enjoy the same latitude as the "store-bought" aircraft. Our
N-numbered Experimentals are allowed to fly over cites, provided we
follow the FAR regulations that state we must fly at least 1000 feet
above populated areas.

Hi Guys,
If your original operating limitations state that you can not fly over a densly populated area then you can not. The rule for LSA was changed in July 2006. You need to have another set of operating limitations issued for your "N" numbered aircraft. I just had mine done. My Kolb had a complete re-issue of my operating limitations to say it was ok to fly over densly populated areas. Your aircraft logbook also needs to be signed off.
