After reading and rereading the FAA Memorandum and relating it to the posting by WOA whereas WOA says in the announcement, "All former military experimental exhibition aircraft in Groups I, II, and III currently operating and with the flight proficiency 300/600 mile limitations on their operating limitations must continue to operate under the issued limitations until such time they get their operating limitations updated from their local FSDO.
However, within the Memorandum it states in the second paragraph, "......Group I, II, III former military aircraft with a special airworthiness certificate in the experimental category for the purpose of exhibition (that's us!) are no longer required to comply with the 300 and 600 nautical mile proficiency flight required by Order 8130.2F, Change 3, Paragraph 158."
According to the Memorandum, the proficiency area is eliminated, effective with the Memorandum. Period...end of sentence. The Memorandum does NOT say anything about aircraft with existing operating limitions must continue to operate under the existing limitations until their OL's are changes. The Memorandum DOES say, "Owners/Operators of former military aircraft that currently have a special airworthiness certificate in the experimental category for the purpose of exhibition (that's us) may apply to have the above limitation removed." That paragraph refers to removing the limitation as written in the OL's. It does not mean the proficiency area limitation as currently written in the existing OL's remains in effect until such time as the OL's are reissued with the elimination of the proficiency area. I believe it is intended to mean the proficiency area is eliminated effective with the Memorandum and one must apply to have the OL's revised to remove the proficiency area statement (thus a rewrite/reissue of the OL's) from the aircraft operating limitations.
If the FAA wanted the aircraft with existing experimental exhibition airworthiness certificates and operating limitations to have to continue to comply with the 300/600 NM proficiency area, they would have clearly stated that in the Memorandum. But the Memorandum clearly says "Group I, II, III former military aircraft with (that means exisiting) a special airworthiness certificate in the experimental category for the purpose of exhibition ARE NO LONGER REQUIRED TO COMPLY WITH THE 300 AND 600 NAUTICAL MILE PROFICIENCY FLIGHT REQUIRED BY ORDER 8130.2F, CHANGE 3."
I will be contacting WOA sometime today and will ask them why they interpreted the Memorandum to mean the 300/600 mile proficiency area elimination only applies AFTER the OL's have been reissued. Why would the FAA want to create an unbelieveable mound of paperwork for themselves by requiring existing OL's to be reissued before the elimination of the proficiency area went into effect? I believe the intent of the Memorandum was to first, announce the elimination of the restriction (300/600 mile proficiency area) and then, at the owner/operators request, update their OL's to reflect the change.
My recommendation is to carry a copy of the letter with you just in case you get ramped checked. If you do get into a discussion with an FAA inspector, focus on the words "are no longer required to comply". It does not say "will no longer be required to comply until after the existing operating limitions are reissued."

Not sure why my post came out like it did, but my question is, does anyone know if this would apply to Yak 55s? doesn't sound like it does,not being a former military a/c.

Our FSDO folks gave us a heads-up on this a few weeks ago. They said that
their preference would be for us to bring in our current OPS Lims and they'd
be happy to re-write them with the 300 or 600 mile ring removed.
This is certainly a step in the right direction... how that the FAA has
admitted that at least one of the limitations has done nothing for safety,
perhaps we're on our way to eliminating some of the other ones, too.

My recommendation is to simply submit the request and wait for them to
ask questions. More than likely the ASI receiving the request won't
know the difference or much care.
It can be argued that all Soviet Union aircraft were "military" aircraft
regardless of type.
At the root of this issue is the FAA's responsibility for "public safety".
It would hard for them to argue that an experimental homebuilt Pitts
with unrestricted range is inherently safer than a production built Yak-55.
Cheers,
Cliff

Yeah I concur Cliff...I was gonna give it a go anyway...I got away with murder on my original Ops limits, conveniently leaving out several things, and the OKC FSDO signed off on it, so you never know, like you said, they will most likely sign what you give them.
On another note....anyone been shopping Ebay for Yaks lately....my tornado ridden 55 that was rebuilt in Tx now got hurt again and is being auctioned off, think it's up to 13K now.

What does the Airworthiness Certificate say? Experimental, what? If the Exhibition category is checked, then yes it does apply.

Craig,
The reason is because the OL's and it's wording must be in accordance with the current Order, 8130.2F. Many OL's were written when previous versions were in place. Even though they are all fundamentally the same, the FSDO Inspector is required to use the present version of the Order when issuing new OL's. Remember, any change to the OL's requires issuance of a new airworthiness certificate as well because they are married together. That's why one must also submit the 8130-6, Application for Airworthiness Certificate.

they just hand down rules.

Dennis,
In talking this morning with the FAA, I will go the easy route first. I will submit a letter to my FSDO asking to add an addendum (of which I will write and submit at the same time) to my OL's, striking the reference to the 300 mile....... referencing and including the FAA memo dated Sept. 11. In the past my FSDO has allowed addendums, as it makes it much easier for him.

I just got off the telephone with AIR-230, Aircraft Certification Branch in Washington who were the preparers of the Memorandum. I must admit, I was incorrect in my interpretation and the WOA statements in the announcement are 100% accurate . As it was explained to me, if we presently have a certificated airplane in the Experimental Exhibition category, until we apply for and receive a new airworthiness certificate and updated operating limitations without the proficiency area restriction, we're bound by our present OL's.
So if you want to have your OL's updated to eliminate the proficiency area, you either submit your paperwork to your local FSDO or have a DAR do it for you. Using the FSDO is free. Using a DAR is not, BUT it can be done much quicker.
Best regards,
Dennis

I don't want to start an argument, I want to give you something to think
about. There are FARs that require you have an airworthiness certificate
and your ops limits are an attachment to it.
If my wife wrote a memo to her sister saying that I didn't need to comply
with ops limit #17, do you think the ramp inspector would view that as
trumping my airworthiness certificate's requirements?
The memo of interest is from one FAA office to another FAA office directing
them to remove the proficiency limit of xxx miles from order 8130.2F. I
don't believe that it trumps the ops limits requirments either. It does
provide a basis for getting new ops limits without the limitation.
As you know, when 8130.2f is changed to a more restrictive stance, such as
when they added the 300/600 mile limit, it didn't apply to the airplanes
that already had ops limits without the mileage limit (the grandfathered
airplanes). It seems to me the same applies now.
The use of the term "former military aircraft" in the memo is curious. FAA
order 8130 says "Many of the aircraft applying for
experimental-exhibition..." but the exp-exhibition certificate is certainly
not limited to former military aircraft.
If I had a IAR-823 or a Yak-50, I'd ask FSDO for new ops limits based on the
memo. If they brought up the former military issue, I'd say it was
certified under the same guidelines as former military and if walks like a
duck and quacks like a duck...
I hope you find this useful. I have no intention of responding to rebuttals
or speculating on what any given FSDO will do.

After reading and rereading the FAA Memorandum and relating it to the
posting by WOA whereas WOA says in the announcement, "All former military
experimental exhibition aircraft in Groups I, II, and III currently
operating and with the flight proficiency 300/600 mile limitations on their
operating limitations must continue to operate under the issued limitations
until such time they get their operating limitations updated from their
local FSDO.
However, within the Memorandum it states in the second paragraph,
"......Group I, II, III former military aircraft with a special
airworthiness certificate in the experimental category for the purpose of
exhibition (that's us!) are no longer required to comply with the 300 and
600 nautical mile proficiency flight required by Order 8130.2F, Change 3,
Paragraph 158."
According to the Memorandum, the proficiency area is eliminated, effective
with the Memorandum. Period...end of sentence. The Memorandum does NOT
say anything about aircraft with existing operating limitions must continue
to operate under the existing limitations until their OL's are changes.
The Memorandum DOES say, "Owners/Operators of former military aircraft that
currently have a special airworthiness certificate in the experimental
category for the purpose of exhibition (that's us) may apply to have the
above limitation removed." That paragraph refers to removing the
limitation as written in the OL's. It does not mean the proficiency area
limitation as currently written in the existing OL's remains in effect
until such time as the OL's are reissued with the elimination of the
proficiency area. I believe it is intended to mean the proficiency area is
eliminated effective with the Memorandum and one must apply to have the
OL's revised to remove the proficiency area statement (thus a
rewrite/reissue of the OL's) from the aircraft operating limitations.
If the FAA wanted the aircraft with existing experimental exhibition
airworthiness certificates and operating limitations to have to continue to
comply with the 300/600 NM proficiency area, they would have clearly stated
that in the Memorandum. But the Memorandum clearly says "Group I, II, III
former military aircraft with (that means exisiting) a special
airworthiness certificate in the experimental category for the purpose of
exhibition ARE NO LONGER REQUIRED TO COMPLY WITH THE 300 AND 600 NAUTICAL
MILE PROFICIENCY FLIGHT REQUIRED BY ORDER 8130.2F, CHANGE 3."
I will be contacting WOA sometime today and will ask them why they
interpreted the Memorandum to mean the 300/600 mile proficiency area
elimination only applies AFTER the OL's have been reissued. Why would the
FAA want to create an unbelieveable mound of paperwork for themselves by
requiring existing OL's to be reissued before the elimination of the
proficiency area went into effect? I believe the intent of the Memorandum
was to first, announce the elimination of the restriction (300/600 mile
proficiency area) and then, at the owner/operators request, update their
OL's to reflect the change.
My recommendation is to carry a copy of the letter with you just in case
you get ramped checked. If you do get into a discussion with an FAA
inspector, focus on the words "are no longer required to comply". It does
not say "will no longer be required to comply until after the existing
operating limitions are reissued."

You're correct. That's the only way to go. I was hoping they would have used the KISS method. But no! They had to make it difficult. It would have been so easy to say, "Carry a copy of the Memorandum in the aircraft". Surely that would have sufficed rather than creating this paperwork nightmare for the local FSDO's.

No argument Ron. You're analogy is accurate.

The reason is because the OL's and it's wording must be in
accordance with the current Order, 8130.2F. Many OL's were written
when previous versions were in place. Even though they are all
fundamentally the same, the FSDO Inspector is required to use the
present version of the Order when issuing new OL's. Remember, any
change to the OL's requires issuance of a new airworthiness
certificate as well because they are married together. That's why
one must also submit the 8130-6, Application for Airworthiness
Certificate.

And as to whether or not you need to get a new LOL, your point about
it being married to the AC is significant. Your existing LOL is
married to your AC. It currently has the 300nm limit on it therefore
even tho' the 300nm limit has been rescinded, it still appears on
your LOL and therefore is still a part of your OL. If you want it off
you need a new LOL issued by the FSDO along with a new AC.
It matters because it is still on the piece of paper. You can't
change that paper without changing the AC too. Remember, what is
written on the piece of paper is *always* more important and
significant than the rule book.
