| Subject: | Re: Yak 52 Operating Limitations |
You can be in for a Bag of Worms. The FAR says you need to notify the Local
FISDO within 30 days that the aircraft has a new home base. As far as your
operating limitations, here is the rub. Depending on how your Operating
Limitations read, you may want to change them or you may want to leave them
alone. Based on what you wrote, I would change them. Remember, every FISDO
is different and none of them are consistent!! Three examples. I changed my
"N" number. It required new Operating Limitations and Airworthiness
Certificate and an inspection of my aircraft and logbooks by the FISDO .
When my Limitations were redone, I was able to remove my 300 mile
limitation and the Limitations were brought in line with the current regs.
It was not a bad experience but you need to have a good FISDO and be
involved! Second example. A friend of mine brought a CJ in from Washington
state to Indiana. He notified the FISDO within 30 days of the aircraft's
new home and although the FISDO wanted to reissue the limitations, my
friend elected not to and I believe has the old 300 mile limitation. Third
example. Another friend of mine brought an aircraft in Florida and brought
it back to Tennessee. We notified the local FISDO within 30 days and they
wanted to see the limitations. Although we were OK with what was written,
when they were approved years prior, the FISDO for some reason put the
owners name on the Limitations. Our Local FISDO said we needed a new
Operating Limitations issued to remove the previous owners name (We could
accept that reasoning). Well, they brought them up to date with the current
rules and my buddy jumped through more hoops than a dog and clown act at a
circus! The FISDO came out, inspected the aircraft, logbooks, made some
suggestions, asked a lot of questions and the list goes on but in the end
we "got er done". Remember, every FISDO is different. Some are reasonable
and use common sense and some think they have been working for the FAA of
Europe! Get together with someone in your area that might have a CJ or YAK
and go over the limitations. Read what the new 8130H has to say and gets
your ducks lined up. Be prepared to "Stand your ground" if necessary. My
local FISDO wanted me to comply with European AD's because there were none
in the Good Old U.S.A. I had to say that there was no requirement to comply
with Europe's AD's and he backed down but he initially had included them
when he rewrote my limitations!! Good luck. Be prepared and be educated
before you start the process. Congratulations on your new purchase. Your
going to enjoy the aircraft the the YAK / CJ Redstar community.
