    I would think that 3 things stopped it from working, but I'm not a lawyer or expert on the faa.... 1) the 300nm limit on the operating limitations...(the FSDO had to know where you were based). That "might" change now that requirement is removed 2) the fact that my OL says operations of the aircraft outside the US is not allowed without prior approval of the country flown into (many do not recognize our experimental Exhibition cert) 3) getting a US A&P to sign off on the annual each year. Those are the quick things that come to mind at 5:30 in the morning... dabear ----- Original Message ----- From: Jan Mevis To: yak-list@matronics.com Sent: Saturday, August 16, 2008 2:54 AM Subject: Yak-List: N registered Yak aircraft Does anyone know if American registered Yak, Sukhoi or Nanchang aircraft can keep their American registration outside the USA ?

    Subject: N registered Yak aircraft
    Jan, The trust thing only works for N-registered aircraft which fall in the normal registration category. Planes like the Yaks, CJ's and T28's (i.e. all ex military) fall in the experimental category and are there for not allowed to fly outside the USA. That is what I have been told by the FAA and our own officials. I would like to bring a T28 to Holland but have given up on that because of the registration thing. Finding a T28 in the normal category is merely impossible. What bothers me though is that the Red Bull guys are all flying their planes in the US experimental category and still have flown in Rotterdam a few weeks ago. How they have done that beats me but I am surely interested to find out.

    I bet the same rule was in effect in 1972 and most likely somewhere in the ICAO accords. in 1972 all the World Acro teams that where in England that year were flying their national reregistered aircraft. After the competiti on, Mary Gaffeny and the female Russian team member wanted to trade rides, Mary to fly the Yak 18R and the Russian gal to fly Mary's Pitts. The Brits nicks i t because neither aircraft were register in the UK and neither pilot had UK licenses. Some years before that while I worked for Bahamas Airways I was not allowed to fly Bahamian registered DC-3s because I didn't have UK rating. Shortly after that while I was based in Germany, I had to get a German priv ate pilots license in order to fly the local flying club's SuperCub. It makes sense to me.

    Gang: As for my experience with Blue Mountain Avionics, it has been nothing but superior. They have worked very hard with Barry and I on multiple issues with regard to doing 9-cylinder engine monitoring, installation, etc. Your mileage may vary, but they have been fantastic to work with. I called Dynon and GRT during my decision making process and asked about 9 cylinder monitoring and got a flat out no, not in the cards. With the Sport, I get a display I can actually read due to its size, synthetic vision, XM weather, full integration to the Garmin SL-30. If you do the Garmin GTX 330 transponder, you can even have traffic. In addition, I get full 9-cylinder engine monitoring, fuel flow, etc, etc. There is also an aerobatic mode that minimizes info on the display to attitude, airspeed, altitude and g's. If I were doing it all over, I may even have considered their EFIS-2 as it gives you the 6-pack, HSI and moving map all in one display. Very nice. More expensive that Dynon, yes.

    I spoke with the representatives at Dynon and Aspen yesterday after reviewing their products on line. Both claim to have a "bigger, better all-encompassing" system coming out for us in 2009. Neither could give pricing right now, but at this time I'm inclined to go with Dynon products for all of the reasons Doc and others here have listed. The pricing and the sales rep at Aspen were barely accommodating and I noted that the battery back up for Aspen systems was only :30 minutes versus the Dynon systems' 1:30. (Maybe they have a better back-up option for another thousand $ or so). I did like the Aspen add-on buildable options and the fact that the presentation and information on their units was very similar to what I was looking at in the 767/757. Unfortunately, the pricing wasn't much below it either. I got all excited when DaBear mentioned he was considering their FLIR, Cat III, and radar jamming capabilities. I really need that too and I'm sure that, for a price, Aspen will supply it. Thanks Doc. I'm having my financial advisor.... er, - my "avionics man" take a look at the options listed here. This information really helps. Val

As far as the Red Bull (and other aerobatic airplanes, e.g., US-registered planes at WAC or other competitions in Europe), these airplanes aren't BASED in Europe, they are only flown there. The issue is the address at which the airplane is registered. An Experimental airplane which is US registered can FLY in a country outside the US IF it has written permission from the aviation authority in that country, but it is registered to an address in the US. The simplest case of this is the following: Lets say I have a Yak 55 which I want to take to an aerobatic contest in Canada. I write to Transport Canada (the aviation authority for Canada) and obtain permission for the airplane to fly in Canada, then I fly to Canada, hopefully win the contest and then come back to my base in the US. We do the same thing every two years with the US Aerobatic Team airplanes, which go over to the WAC--e.g., in 2007 it was in Spain. In fact several of the planes were air-lifted to Luxembourg, and then flown to Spain through France and then back to Luxembourg after the WAC. So permission was obtained from Luxembourg, Belgium, France, and Spain. I am certain that the Red Bull airplanes are handled the same way, and are registered to a US citizen (or US Company) in the US with a US address. There is no reason that a US citizen (or US-held company) with a US address could not register an Experimental-Exhibition airplane, obtain permission for it to fly in a European country and fly it there for as long as the European country would allow. To answer Jan's original question, if a US citizen owns a US registered Sukhoi or Yak, and takes it to Europe, and obtains permission for it to fly there, it can (in fact it MUST) remain on the US registry and can legally fly (since a US citizen wouldn't be allowed to register an airplane in say Germany, nor could they fly it without a JAR pilot certificate...). I know several high-level US aerobatic pilots who keep airplanes in Europe for the purpose of flying in European contests without having to ship the airplane over the pond. On the other hand, a non-US citizen who isn't at least also a US resident and holder of a US pilot certificate essentially can't register an airplane on the US registry EVEN IF IT IS IN THE US. This stuff is quite complex, but basically boils down to the citizenship of the owner of the airplane determines where it is registered. Hope this helps.

    How are they doing the engine probes now? Do you have electric start? In the past they had to put the probes in the position of the air start nozzles.

    Subject: The great 2008 Yak Glass cockpit competition
    Believe it or not Dynon has a reasonably priced unit that interfaces with their other avionics. It was debuted at OSH. I know I sound like a Dynon rep. Not so. I've just been very happy with their stuff especially for the money. Blue Mountain feel from my graces earlier when they absolutely refused to back their products that some of my friends in the squadron had in their RVs. It was not pretty. The claim by Blue Mountain was that they had done something to the unit to cause the software failure. Not 4 units, one maybe. I just have great service from Dynon and absolutely appreciate the fact that when I call their office I get to talk to a human being the not only has knowledge of their product but can give a concise answer to help fix the problem.
