This would include an both Special Light Sport Aircraft (SLSA) and Experimental Light Sport Aircraft (ELSA) such that existing amphibious trainers from the training exemptions may immediately be converted to begin training under the appropriate operating limitations. The FAA is working toward a correction to the rule that prevented certification of amphibious aircraft under Light-Sport Aircraft. The requested exemption is for the short term until the LSA rule amendment is in place. Waiting for the final rule would result in a significant delivery delays for customers and loss in market momentum. Delaying trainer certification will delay training in the community. ASC proposes to administer the community-wide exemption at no cost to complying applicants. This exemption would impose requirements as follows: 1) A required dash mounted interim placard stating, =E2=80=9CLogbook endorsement required to operate retractable gear system=E2=80=9D. 2) Documentation of specific training requirements in the addendum to the operators manual. 3) Mandatory training specific to light aircraft with retractable gear for each pilot allowed to operate the retractable gear. 4) Mandatory log-book endorsement documentation of completion of the training for each pilot allowed to operate the retractable gear. ASC will maintain a record of all applicants and provide clear documentation of the paperwork requirements to comply with the exemption for certification of an SLSA or ELSA aircraft. This paperwork will be provided to the DAR, or ASI at the time of aircraft inspection. ASC will not require membership or impose handling fees. The only ASC requirements will be identification of the person certifying the aircraft, identification of the individual aircraft being certified, and a signature=20assuring the person will comply with the exemption requirements. Once the anticipated changes to allow retractable gear on Light-Sport Aircraft are published, it is recognized that this interim exemption will necessarily expire, after the proper transition. This request is in the public interest in that it allows training while the community awaits the correction of the amphibious rule. This will include the appropriate inclusion of both ELSA operating fleet and Special LSA that currently are being impacted by the delays in the rule change. Without the proposed exemption, the FAA will have to handle each exemption request and publish it in the federal register. This takes a significant number of work hours and becomes very redundant. Jim Stephenson, President/CEO of ASC made it very clear , =E2=80=9CThis proposed exemption does have costs of application and administration. ASC is here to support the light aviation community and will absorb these costs. By allowing ASC to administer this exemption, the FAA will allow ASC to demonstrate its dedication to support of the Light Aviation Community. The result will be a benefit to the community, the FAA, ASC and aviation safety. =E2=80=9C =E2=80=9CNow we must wait and see if the FAA understands how this will help the community.=E2=80=9D commented Stephenson. =E2=80=9CIt makes sense.=E2=80=9D Please comment to the docket on a community wide exemption for retractable Amphibious aircraft. See docket 24241. Go to dms.dot.gov and search on FAA, petitions for docket number 24241. Then once you have read the request, go back a submit a comment to the docket. Please support this effort.
