| Subject: | Re-registration and E-LSA |
I also posted the information about the E-LSA re-registration problem to the
Rotax engine group here on Matronics. As is usual for discussion groups (it
seems that way, to me, anyway) there was a fellow on that list who "just
knew" that the information I got from the Light Sport Branch of the FAA
could not possibly be right. This morning one of the regular contributors on
that list, Roger Lee, called Edsel to get the info from the horse's mouth,
as it were. Here is his post as of a few minutes ago.
Hi Rick,
I want to be the first one in line here to say you were absolutely right!
Thank You for finding this fine point as it will affect most people here.
Hi All,
I called the FAA and talked to Edsel Ford of the FAA. He is their top LSA
person.
When you get your FAA re-registration letter make sure you take care of it
in a timely manner (you have almost 6 months), do not and I really mean do
not let it expire on its posted date. This will be painless and easy for
most.
Here is the issue. If it goes past the posted date on the letter you will
have your "N" number suspended. Having an "N" number is a requirement to be
airworthy. Right now as it stands the FAA will at some point terminate your
"N" number if you allow this to happen. They are getting a legal reading on
this as we talk. The expiration of the letter may be the same as termination
of your "N" number, this is a gray area and legal is looking at it.
Here is the big issue. It will not be simple to get it back. If you came
from the fat Ultralight group and became ELSA your are dead in the water
forever. You can never get a "N" number again. If you are SLSA like some of
us here you will loose your airworthy cert and "N" number and will have to
go through the entire process of getting a new registration through FD USA,
inspections, new number, ect.... all over again. This will apply to all US
aircraft GA and the like. DO NOT LET THIS GO PAST THE LETTER'S DEAD LINE!
It will be the owners responsibility to make sure the FAA has your current
info like your address so you will receive your letter. This is in the FAR's
now and always has been. Now if you know that you have to re-register within
a certain time as posted in all the write ups about this re-registration and
don't get a letter then it would be extremely prudent to call them.
I asked and there are no "get out of jail free cards" here. If you allow
your time to expire you're done.
This process won't be a big deal for the majority of the owners in aviation,
but their may be some that procrastinate or loose paperwork and forget. This
won't be a time in your life to do either.

I'm reposting Roger's post because there may be those who lurk here that
might think I mis-heard or misinterpreted the information. As you can read
in Roger's post, I didn't.
So, all of you flying E-LSA Kolbs out there, be sure and take care of your
re-registration in a timely manner and don't be afraid to follow up and make
sure the process is working for you.
If you want to check and make sure the FAA has all the correct information
for your aircraft you can do it here:
http://registry.faa.gov/aircraftinquiry/NNum_inquiry.aspx
For those of you out there considering buying a Kolb next spring, put this
on your list of things to verify before money changes hands. If you bet
money that some unscupulous character will try to sell an aircraft that has
lost its registration you most likely won't lose.
Fly safe,
Rick Girard

It is not bigotry to be certain we are right; but it is bigotry to be unable
to imagine how we might possibly have gone wrong.
