Riddle" Subject: Re: Kolb-List: Bahama bound If you mean true Part 103 ULs, I doubt you would be welcome since to the best of my knowledge, the USA is the only country in the western hemisphere that permits any kind of flying machine that is not registered. If you mean Exp Amateur Built, and you have required equipment which includes radio and transponder w/ altitude encoder, floatation equipment etc. then there is no reason I know of that you can't. If you mean E-LSA, not sure. If you are a Sport Pilot, maybe not, depends on whether Bahamas recognizes Sport Pilot. I know Canada does not. Call the Bahamas aviation agency (whatever it is called) and ask them to be sure.

[Shocked] Here's my new list of things to NEVER fly over in my Kolb. A new item has been added to the top of the list after seeing that picture: 1. Fields of cacti (if I ever make it out west) 2. Swamps/gators (hard to miss here in south Georgia) 3. Marshes, especially during duck hunting season (doesn't my nose cone look like a DUCK BILL?!

Schmidt" Just for Grins You be the Judge and the Answers Are Test Your Knowledge of FAA Violations! - Score 100% You got 6 out of 6 1. You can be held responsible if the appropriate logbook entries are not made after a repair, alteration, or inspection. True According to FAR 91.405 "each owner or operator...(b) shall ensure that maintenance personnel make appropriate entries in the aircraft maintenance records indicating the aircraft has been approved for return to service." 2. You can operate an aircraft outside the United States on the pink copy of an application for registration. False The pink copy is good temporary authorization for operation within the United States only. 3. An unreported drug or alcohol related driving infraction could cause the FAA to suspend or revoke a pilot's certificate. True FAR 61.15 requires that a pilot report to the FAA any drug or alcohol related "motor vehicle action" taken against them and the report must be made within 60 days of the motor vehicle action. 4. If you move and enter your new address on an FAA form (such as an aircraft registration application) you still need to notify the Airman Certification Branch of the change. True FAR 61.60 requires a certificate holder to notify the Airman Certification Branch in writing (or online) within 30 days of the change. 5. If you rent or borrow someone's aircraft, you are not responsible if you fly that aircraft after it has missed an annual inspection. False As PIC, you may be subject to enforcement if you fly an aircraft that has missed a required inspection. 6. A certified mechanic must replace the battery in your ELT in order for you to avoid suspension. False A certified mechanic or the person installing the battery must make the appropriate logbook entry. My sincere apologies for being a day late and thanks for all the positive contributions.
