I ran the pitot & static lines for the Zenith system in the wing but have since decided to use the Dynon EFIS and need the two lines in the wing for the Pitot and AOA system. Gig Giacona www.peoamerica.net/N601WR P.S. I'm moving construction this weekend from my house to my newly built hanger at the airport so I can get back to work on the plane. ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 03:41:00 PM PST US From: Larry McFarland Subject: Zenith-List: New Regulation or licence to fly experimental --> Zenith-List message posted by: Larry McFarland Hi Guys, On the Aeroelectric list the new regulation accessed below will require a new form, examination and compliance sheet to be able to fly with passengers for sport pilot licences and higher.

I wonder if there are any hurdles to doing this?

I feel a bit responsible since I originally came up with this modification (or at least I think I did...). Some of you have been recommending using all kinds of actuators with many different specifications. I know we are building experimental aircraft but we must try to make our installations as safe as possible. This is a critical part and should be engineered properly to work well. I realize our flap kit is priced higher than just the standard actuator from MSC or some other industrial supply house. Our system was engineered by Czech Aircraft Works engineers to be a safe system with reliability and safety factors built in. For those of you on a budget that would like to purchase just the actuator alone we will have these in stock soon and will post pricing on our web site. Keep the aircraft safe. Happy flying.

The regs now say you must have a license for the type aircraft flown. You are flying a single engine land with the appropriate license. It was formulated so that you must have the right ratings to fly such things as rotorcraft, helicopters, and kites. Many have been flying them without the ratings and here is a chance to up-date via a log book entry their past experience in for example a gyrocopter without going thru the entire learning sequence, check rides, and examinations.

If you have ASEL and fly experimental ASES then you need the endorsements.

Does that mean I've got to get my HDS a new airworthiness certificate and operating limitations? And what will it say? I was told experimental was experimental and could not be converted to an E-LSA. I was told by EAA that as long as an experimental aircraft met the rules for an LSA everything was OK. I got insurance based on the fact my plane met the rules as written. BTW I've got my private ticket but choose to fly Sport Pilot. I'm VERY confused!

"Note that this restricted category/class rating will apply only to the make and model of aircraft in which the pilot has logged the experience, an that experience must be logged by the pilot between 1 September 2004 and 31 August 2005. This situation has no effect at all on pilots who already hold the appropriate category/class rating for the aircraft they are flying (i.e., airplane single engine land)." Hope this helps!

After reading the notice, I don't think you will need to get a new airworthiness certificate, but you may need to update the operational limitations to state that the PIC must have a single engine land certification or endorsement to fly it. Since you have a private pilot certificate, you are qualified to fly any aircraft class and category listed on that certificate without a medical certificate as long as that aircraft also meets the definition of LSA. You don't need the category and class endorsements that a Sport pilot would need, your private certificate already gives you those privileges. The way I understand the sport pilot rule, the only things the holder of a private pilot certificate can't do while flying a LSA without a medical certificate is to fly at night, in instrument conditions or VFR on top. on 5/12/05 9:30 PM, Jeffrey Glasserow at jeffglass@starband.net wrote: > --> Zenith-List message posted by: "Jeffrey Glasserow" > > > Cy, What about the paragraph that says the airworthiness certificate for an > E-LSA will, in all cases, specify the category of aircraft.
