They then go down to our neighbors and tear up his fields. ( He is a bit , no that's too vague, make that a BUTT! ) This is my first run in with them. I didn't take my camera the second time that I flew so that I wouldn't be tempted to make a video of it as well. Its a bit too bad because the next chase was an arieal "dog fight". I had to be very careful not to close too quickly with them, and to keep above them. Its a bit more difficult than one might imagine. This first time I was splitting the flock, and they would go back to the ranch. My second time, I learned to herd them by always turning back to the ranch lands before they could. The third time I went over, as soon as they heard the plane they would take wing and head to the other Ranch for the day. In the evening they would go back over to the Ranch to spend the night. At least they were not eating both day and night. In case you were wondering, as my neighbor's "agent" I can harrass the Geese enough to keep them off the property. This video was done about a week ago. I made a two hour flight today down in the Owyhee, burning about 7 gallons of fuel, and having a good time while I was at it.

From: Richard Girard Nick, Here are the applicable FAR's on Light Sport Aircraft. For your Kolbra, Kolb would have to build a qualifying aircraft per the ASTM standard, document that it meets the standard, and get the FAA to certify their production and supply system. The manufacturer would then sell you a kit EXACTLY like their prototype. If you were to make ANY changes to the kit, the manufacturer would have to issue a letter of authorization (LOA) for EACH change. Part of the kit package would be a certificate of conformity that would be presented to the FAA or the DAR, along with any LOA's at the time your aircraft is presented for inspection for the experimental certificate, mistakenly called the airworthiness certificate by most people. So, the simple answer is that for you to get an ELSA designation, Kolb would have to have built an SLSA prototype of the Kolbra. Rick Girard 21.190 Issue of a special airworthiness certificate for a light-sport category aircraft. (a) Purpose. The FAA issues a special airworthiness certificate in the light-sport category to operate a light-sport aircraft, other than a gyroplane. (b) Eligibility. To be eligible for a special airworthiness certificate in the light-sport category: (1) An applicant must provide the FAA with=94 (i) The aircraft's operating instructions; (ii) The aircraft's maintenance and inspection procedures; (iii) The manufacturer's statement of compliance as described in paragraph (c) of this section; and (iv) The aircraft's flight training supplement. (2) The aircraft must not have been previously issued a standard, primary, restricted, limited, or provisional airworthiness certificate, or an equivalent airworthiness certificate issued by a foreign civil aviation authority. (3) The aircraft must be inspected by the FAA and found to be in a condition for safe operation. (c) Manufacturer's statement of compliance for light-sport category aircraft. The manufacturer's statement of compliance required in paragraph (b)(1)(iii) of this section must=94 (1) Identify the aircraft by make and model, serial number, class, date of manufacture, and consensus standard used; (2) State that the aircraft meets the provisions of the identified consensus standard; (3) State that the aircraft conforms to the manufacturer's design data, using the manufacturer's quality assurance system that meets the identified consensus standard; (4) State that the manufacturer will make available to any interested person the following documents that meet the identified consensus standard: (i) The aircraft's operating instructions. (ii) The aircraft's maintenance and inspection procedures. (iii) The aircraft's flight training supplement. (5) State that the manufacturer will monitor and correct safety-of-flight issues through the issuance of safety directives and a continued airworthiness system that meets the identified consensus standard; (6) State that at the request of the FAA, the manufacturer will provide unrestricted access to its facilities; and (7) State that the manufacturer, in accordance with a production acceptance test procedure that meets an applicable consensus standard has=94 (i) Ground and flight tested the aircraft; (ii) Found the aircraft performance acceptable; and (iii) Determined that the aircraft is in a condition for safe operation. (d) Light-sport aircraft manufactured outside the United States. For aircraft manufactured outside of the United States to be eligible for a special airworthiness certificate in the light-sport category, an applicant must meet the requirements of paragraph (b) of this section and provide to the FAA evidence that=94 (1) The aircraft was manufactured in a country with which the United States has a Bilateral Airworthiness Agreement concerning airplanes or Bilateral Aviation Safety Agreement with associated Implementation Procedures for Airworthiness concerning airplanes, or an equivalent airworthiness agreement; and (2) The aircraft is eligible for an airworthiness certificate, flight authorization, or other similar certification in its country of manufacture .. 21.191 Experimental certificates. (i) Operating light-sport aircraft. Operating a light-sport aircraft that =94 (1) Has not been issued a U.S. or foreign airworthiness certificate and does not meet the provisions of =C2=A7103.1 of this chapter. An experimenta l certificate will not be issued under this paragraph for these aircraft after January 31, 2008; (2) Has been assembled=94 (i) From an aircraft kit for which the applicant can provide the information required by =C2=A721.193(e); and (ii) In accordance with manufacturer's assembly instructions that meet an applicable consensus standard; or (3) Has been previously issued a special airworthiness certificate in the light-sport category under =C2=A721.190. 21.193 Experimental certificates: general. (e) In the case of a light-sport aircraft assembled from a kit to be certificated in accordance with =C2=A721.191(i)(2), an applicant must provi de the following: (1) Evidence that an aircraft of the same make and model was manufactured and assembled by the aircraft kit manufacturer and issued a special airworthiness certificate in the light-sport category. (2) The aircraft's operating instructions. (3) The aircraft's maintenance and inspection procedures. (4) The manufacturer's statement of compliance for the aircraft kit used in the aircraft assembly that meets =C2=A721.190(c), except that instead of me eting =C2=A721.190(c)(7), the statement must identify assembly instructions for t he aircraft that meet an applicable consensus standard. (5) The aircraft's flight training supplement. (6) In addition to paragraphs (e)(1) through (e)(5) of this section, for an aircraft kit manufactured outside of the United States, evidence that the aircraft kit was manufactured in a country with which the United States has a Bilateral Airworthiness Agreement concerning airplanes or a Bilateral Aviation Safety Agreement with associated Implementation Procedures for Airworthiness concerning airplanes, or an equivalent airworthiness agreement.
