EAA and the Warbirds of America (WOA) received terrific news this week from the FAA regarding experimental exhibition operating limitations for former military aircraft in Groups I, II, and III. The FAA has announced a process to allow for a letter of deviation[RR1] , permitting owners to conduct proficiency flights beyond the 300 nm (piston) and 600 nm (turbine) radius of operations stipulated in a section of FAA Order 8130.2F. The geographic limitations were adopted as a safety measure in the early 1990s when a large number of former military aircraft was imported into the United States. Since then, safety records have shown that the proficiency limitations did little, if anything, to improve safety. Industry groups, including WOA, felt that allowing pilots to train outside these limits would help raise the pilots experience and proficiency levels, thus improving safety. Discussions on the issue turned a huge corner during meetings hosted by EAA and WOA in March 2007 when industry representatives and senior FAA officials reviewed FAA Order 8130.2F and discussed recommendations on future revisions. At EAA AirVenture 2007 in July, the FAA agreed to issue the letter of deviation and discussed the proposed timetable for its release. Other organizations represented included the Commemorative Air Force (CAF); Classic Jet Aircraft Association (CJAA); and Courtesy Aircraft. Input was also received from the Army Aviation Heritage Foundation (AAHF); North American Trainer Association (NATA); Red Star Pilots Association (RPA); International Aerobatic Club (IAC); as well as pilots and owners of former military aircraft. We are extremely pleased with this outcome, said Rick Siegfried, EAA Warbirds of America president. EAA Warbirds of America and our industry partners have worked very hard on our members behalf. By meeting face-to-face in Oshkosh with FAA officials, we were able to work through this and other issues. We have submitted a list of recommended revisions to FAA Order 8130.2F and look forward to even more progress in the weeks and months to come. Owners of experimental exhibition aircraft are encouraged to review the FAA memorandum and decide for themselves if it is in their best interest to request the letter of deviation. For many owners and operators of warbirds aircraft, this is an attractive option, helping them expand their training and proficiency options. Siegfried applauded the EAA Government Relations Programs staff of Earl Lawrence, Doug Macnair, Randy Hansen, and Lynn Nelson for their support, along with the industry partners who participated in the process. Also playing key roles were WOA Executive Director Bill Fischer and the WOA Government Affairs Committee, including Connie Bowlin, Ray Dieckman, Jack Harrington, Bill Harrison, Michael Schloss, Siegfried, and Warren Wood. EAA, EAA Warbirds of America, and industry representatives will continue to work on our members behalf to maintain and improve our freedom of flight.

How to obtain the letter of deviation: Former military aircraft receiving initial experimental exhibition (FAR 21.191(d)) certification from today forward, need to present the September 11, 2007 FAA Memorandum to their FSDO in order to be exempt from the 300/600-mile proficiency flight area limitation. The next change to FAA Order 8130.2(F) will contain the elimination of this requirement, but in the meantime, this FAA Memorandum is the authority to remove the proficiency flight area limitation on their operating limitations. All former military experimental exhibition aircraft in Groups I, II, and III currently operating and with the flight proficiency 300/600 mile limitations on their operating limitations must continue to operate under the issued limitations until such time they get their operating limitations updated from their local FSDO. All former military experimental exhibition aircraft owners can immediately apply to their local FSDO to amend their operating limitations to eliminate the 300/600-mile flight proficiency area limitation. Once amended, they will no longer have a proficiency flight area limitation. When submitting the request to the FSDO to drop the proficiency area limitation, owners should: Submit a cover letter to their local FSDORequest the operating limitations issued to TYPE OF AIRCRAFT, N-NUMBER, be updated to eliminate the proficiency flight area limitation per FAA Memorandum, subject: Deviation to Order 8130.2, dated September 11, 2007, from Frank Paskiewicz, Manager AIR-200. FAA headquarters, AFS-800, and AIR-200 have approved that this operating limitation change request will be processed per FAA Order 8130.2F, paragraph 27b(6), and no aircraft certification inspection is required for this paperwork change. The owners need to attach the following to their letter: (1) A completed FAA Form 8130-6 http://forms.faa.gov/forms/faa8130-6d.pdf/; and (2) A copy of their current operating limitations (not the original); and (3) A copy of their aircraft registration (not the original); and (4) A copy of the FAA Memorandum from AIR-200. As a note, once the local FSDO office is ready to update the operating limitations, the owners can expect to go to that office and exchange their old operating limitations for a new set (face to face).

Dennis Savarese" Subject: Re: Yak-List: FAA 8130.2f and 300/600 Drew, Until such time as a new FAA Order is issued, the existing Order 8130.2F Change 3 remains in effect. That means OL's and Airworthiness Certificates must be reissued when the aircraft changes FSDO's or Home Base airports. The exception is how the OL's were written. Some were issued with an "Operational Program Letter" (not to be confused with Annual Program Letter) which basically eliminated the reissuance of the OL's and AC by a simply have the owner certify that he/she has read the OL's and will comply with them and then state the new home base airport is -----.

EAA and the Warbirds of America (WOA) received terrific news this week from the FAA regarding experimental exhibition operating limitations for former military aircraft in Groups I, II, and III. The FAA has announced a process to allow for a letter of deviation[RR1] <> [RR1] , permitting owners to conduct proficiency flights beyond the 300 nm (piston) and 600 nm (turbine) radius of operations stipulated in a section of FAA Order 8130.2F. The geographic limitations were adopted as a safety measure in the early 1990s when a large number of former military aircraft was imported into the United States. Since then, safety records have shown that the proficiency limitations did little, if anything, to improve safety. Industry groups, including WOA, felt that allowing pilots to train outside these limits would help raise the pilot's experience and proficiency levels, thus improving safety. Discussions on the issue turned a huge corner during meetings hosted by EAA and WOA in March 2007 when industry representatives and senior FAA officials reviewed FAA Order 8130.2F and discussed recommendations on future revisions. At EAA AirVenture 2007 in July, the FAA agreed to issue the letter of deviation and discussed the proposed timetable for its release. Other organizations represented included the Commemorative Air Force (CAF); Classic Jet Aircraft Association (CJAA); and Courtesy Aircraft. Input was also received from the Army Aviation Heritage Foundation (AAHF); North American Trainer Association (NATA); Red Star Pilots Association (RPA); International Aerobatic Club (IAC); as well as pilots and owners of former military aircraft. "We are extremely pleased with this outcome," said Rick Siegfried, EAA Warbirds of America president. "EAA Warbirds of America and our industry partners have worked very hard on our members' behalf. By meeting face-to-face in Oshkosh with FAA officials, we were able to work through this and other issues. We have submitted a list of recommended revisions to FAA Order 8130.2F and look forward to even more progress in the weeks and months to come." Owners of experimental exhibition aircraft are encouraged to review the FAA memorandum and decide for themselves if it is in their best interest to request the letter of deviation. For many owners and operators of warbirds aircraft, this is an attractive option, helping them expand their training and proficiency options. Siegfried applauded the EAA Government Relations Programs staff of Earl Lawrence, Doug Macnair, Randy Hansen, and Lynn Nelson for their support, along with the industry partners who participated in the process. Also playing key roles were WOA Executive Director Bill Fischer and the WOA Government Affairs Committee, including Connie Bowlin, Ray Dieckman, Jack Harrington, Bill Harrison, Michael Schloss, Siegfried, and Warren Wood. EAA, EAA Warbirds of America, and industry representatives will continue to work on our member's behalf to maintain and improve our freedom of flight. For more information regarding EAA Warbirds of America programs and activities, or to join or renew your EAA Warbirds of America membership, visit www.warbirds-eaa.org . How to obtain the letter of deviation: 1. Former military aircraft receiving initial experimental exhibition (FAR 21.191(d)) certification from today forward, need to present the September 11, 2007 FAA Memorandum to their FSDO in order to be exempt from the 300/600-mile proficiency flight area limitation. The next change to FAA Order 8130.2(F) will contain the elimination of this requirement, but in the meantime, this FAA Memorandum is the authority to remove the proficiency flight area limitation on their operating limitations. 2. All former military experimental exhibition aircraft in Groups I, II, and III currently operating and with the flight proficiency 300/600 mile limitations on their operating limitations must continue to operate under the issued limitations until such time they get their operating limitations updated from their local FSDO. 3. All former military experimental exhibition aircraft owners can immediately apply to their local FSDO to amend their operating limitations to eliminate the 300/600-mile flight proficiency area limitation. Once amended, they will no longer have a proficiency flight area limitation. When submitting the request to the FSDO to drop the proficiency area limitation, owners should: A.

I read in an aerobatics newsletter that he was inverted after the accident and couldn't get out until the canopy melted. NTSB Identification: NYC07LA201 14 CFR Part 91: General Aviation Accident occurred Thursday, August 23, 2007 in Markham, VA Aircraft: Sukhoi SU-31, registration: N131BW Injuries: 1 Serious. This is preliminary information, subject to change, and may contain errors. Any errors in this report will be corrected when the final report has been completed. On August 23, 2007, about 1330 eastern daylight time, a Sukhoi SU-31 experimental airplane, N131BW, was destroyed during impact with terrain and a post-crash fire, while maneuvering near Markham, Virginia. The certificated commercial pilot was seriously injured. Marginal visual meteorological conditions prevailed for the flight that departed Warrenton-Fauquier Airport (W66), Warrenton, Virginia, about 1300; destined for New Garden Airport (N57), Toughkenamon, Pennsylvania. A visual flight rules flight plan was filed for the personal flight conducted under 14 CFR Part 91. According to the pilot's written statement, the airplane developed a fuel leak during cruise flight, and there was a strong fuel odor in the cockpit. The pilot became disoriented as to his location and altitude, while looking for the source of the fuel leak and searching for a suitable landing area. The pilot did not recall the actual impact. The pilot held a commercial pilot certificate, with a rating for airplane single engine land. He did not have an instrument rating. The pilot reported a total flight experience of 5,400 hours; of which, 2,700 hours were in the same make and model as the accident airplane. The pilot did not report any simulated or actual instrument experience. The pilot also reported that he obtained a weather briefing via computer, and that the weather at the time of the accident, at Winchester Regional Airport (OKV), Winchester, Virginia, included an overcast ceiling at 2,400 feet and 7 miles visibility. According to a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) inspector, a nearby witness reported that visibility was low due to clouds. She heard the airplane approach from the south, and then heard it impacting trees before hitting the ground. The FAA inspector further stated that the state police and medivac helicopters could not respond due to the low ceilings, and all-terrain-vehicles were getting lost in the fog near the accident site. The airplane was consumed by fire, and the FAA inspector was unable to perform a wreckage examination or identify a fuel leak. Winchester Regional Airport was located about 15 miles northwest of the accident site, at an elevation of 727 feet msl. The reported weather at OKV, at 1320, was: wind calm; visibility 7 miles; overcast ceiling at 1,200 feet; temperature 72 degrees Fahrenheit; dew point 68 degrees Fahrenheit; altimeter 30.15 inches Hg. The elevation near the accident site was approximately 700 feet msl.

As we learn more, I will keep the community updated. --- John Graham wrote: > Date: Wed, 5 Sep 2007 09:15:41 -0700 (PDT) > From: John Graham > Subject: Illinois Yak-5 crash > To: Yak list > > Many of you have read of the Yak-52 crash in > Illinois > at the Lake in the Hills airport (3CK) on Labor Day. > > My best friend, who was also my flight instructo and > flying buddy, was killed in the accident. > > Dave Burdine was a former Navy fighter pilot with > combat experience over the skies of Iraq.

Doc ________________________________ Message 14 ____________________________________ Time: 08:35:04 PM PST US From: Sam Sax Subject: RE: Yak-List: Re: Engine Monitoring Yes, in my CJ and M-14P and a 3 blade Whirlwind prop. This instrument saved me some big $$ a couple years ago when I noticed an unusual EGT rise on Cyl. #8, with light vibrations starting immediately (while in cruise). Seeing the problem saved a lot of time in searching for the problem cylinder. Upon landing (away from home base) I proceeded directly to examine Cyl. # 8 and shortly thereafter found the culprit -- The front Spark plug was dead and left no living will...:). I could only imagine how much time and $$ I would have to spend trying to find the problem going over the entire engine 200 miles from base. I also use the CHT levles regularly in controlling CHT temps in climb and cruise etc - with louvers wide open, my M-14 runs too cold so I typically close as needed to maintain at least 160 Degrees.
