Kolbers,
I need to fill out my compass correction card, as I do not have a compass rose
in my yard, I was wondering how all of you swung your compass to check for correction.
Also, anyone who has passed the airworthiness inspection and has all the checklists
available for easy posting, I would sure like to check them out to make sure
I haven't forgotten somthing. I guess I'll also check the archives for this
We had a visit from Will Uribe Saturday, he is even nicer in person, and what a
photographer! A true ambassador of light aviation.
Still raining in South Wet Pennsylvania.

05/07/03 - FAA To Open Light-Sport Aircraft Operations Program Office
The FAA announced this week that funding has been approved to establish a Light-Sport
Aircraft (LSA) Operations Program Office for implementing the pending sport
pilot/light-sport aircraft final rule. The office will be set up as a branch
within the Regulatory Support Division in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
When the final rule is announced (FAA's goal is to do so at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh
2003), it will initially require the FAA to certificate an existing fleet
of an estimated 10,000-plus uncertificated aircraft and airman using a standardized
methodology. The LSA office will provide the policy guidance and infrastructure
for both industry and FAA field offices; program oversight; and continued
standardization of this program, from the effective date of the light sport
aircraft rule and into the foreseeable future.
"We have gotten approval to start setting up this operation and we are looking
at the best ways of doing that," said Joseph Tintara, Manager of the Regulatory
Support Division, Aeronautical Center, Oklahoma City. "We intend to meet with
the industry people and their FAA counterparts to make sure it's successful.
Tintara described it as proactive preparation. "A lot of this right now is getting
ourselves prepared with the intent that the rule will be put out sometime
in July," he said. "We want to be prepared when the rule rolls out."
FAA estimates that 10,000 existing non-registered ultralight vehicles and an equivalent
number of noncertificated ultralight pilots will transition into the
light-sport category, be issued sport pilot certificates, and have their aircraft
issued airworthiness certificates. Included in this number is an estimated
1,300 ultralight instructors who will transition under this new set of regulations
and receive a flight instructor certificate with a sport pilot rating.
Over the next 10 years the FAA expects a large number (12,000) of new pilots to
seek sport pilot certificates and purchase new light-sport aircraft. This will
be in addition to the many private pilots that left flying for financial or
other reasons who will re-enter general aviation as a result of the new rule.
The new set of regulations is also expected to generate an additional 9,000 repairman
over the course of the next 10 years in addition to 9,000 people who will
apply for certification in the first three years.
Sport pilot/light sport aircraft rulemaking action was intended to establish programs
that will not place an additional workload on the inspector workforce at
the Flight Standards and Manufacturing District office level by delegating some
additional functions to the light-sport industry organizations and establishing
a program office. A program office will provide oversight, policy development,
and implementation support.
Here is a high-level overview of the Light-Sport Aircraft Operations Program Office
responsibilities:
Implementation and continued update of policy and advisory materials required for
sport pilot/light-sport aircraft rule
Provide overall support and oversight for the light-sport process
Provide support and continue partnerships with light sport industry organizations
Develop and provide for designee training (DPE/DAR)
Develop and maintain Pilot Practical Test Standards and knowledge test item banks
Accept/Approve and monitor industry training for sport pilots, sport pilot CFI's,
and light-sport repairman
Provide a data repository for light-sport information "We think we really have
a good chance to be successful," Tintara said. "There is a lot of energy on the
industry side as well as on the FAA side. Want to have some preliminary meetings
to lay out a reasonable plan of attack."

Denny,
If you are asking about being prepared for the DAR's inspection, you may
find the checklist for inspection near the end of AC90-89A of value as a
guide to what the DAR will look at on your aircraft. This checklist is for
an annual inspection and should cover many of the points you need to
consider. However, if you are asking about checklists for flying, I have a
Firestar and mine would not be what you need for a mk III. You can get a
copy of the circular at:
http://av-info.faa.gov/dst/amateur/ac90-89a.pdf
The inspection checklist starts on page 86 of the pdf document that
downloads.
There is another circular that has all the information on the paperwork
required. If you do not have that reference, I can look it up for you also.
There is a lot of information referenced on:
http://av-info.faa.gov/dst/amateur/
in case you have not found this site.
I have used the airport compass rsoe to make my compass correction card. In
two inspections of new aircraft, I have not had a DAR ask about the compass
correction.

Vince, Others,
The checklists I was refering to were the ones for flying, preflight,
pretake-off, pre- landing, shut down, whatever others people are using.
I do have 90-89c,and a good case of the pre inspection jitters.
This has been a long time coming and the coming week is shaping up to be a
sleepless one. Nerves + midnight shift + full plate = silly posts from
Denny. :-(
Bear with me folks.

I have a Kolb Mk III (Classic). What ideas has anyone come up with to hold
the clamshell doors open when it is on the ground.
Usually when I am taxiing or leave the doors open to cool off the aircraft,
a gust of wind invariably sends the doors crashing down.

Hello John.
Here's a link to Big Lar's gullwing doors webpage. The photos don't really
do the installation justice (Sorry Lar) but I can tell you first hand that
they are slick.
http://www.biglar.homestead.com/GULLWINGS.html
Lar is on the way to Monument Valley with the rest of the lucky group
getting together there for the next week or so. I'm sure he'll have a
suggestion or two for you when he returns.
Hugh

Hey guys, I'm about to cover that strangely shaped piece of geometry in the
framework between the wing attach points. Although I have the old kolb
builder's manuals I still don't know whether to do a double-sided job
here (top and bottom) or just one (which one?) Info, opinion and pics
would all be appreciated. -BB MKIII , dry enough for doping but had
to do some gardening. do not archive

I have a eis that I was attempting to reset the alarm parameters on. I did
such a great job that it no longer shows rpm's. I don't have much
documentation. Has anyone had any experience screwing these things up, that
could give a hapless gage watcher some advice about how to straighten this
up??????
