Hello Group. Please read this letter that I sent to my local EAA
chapter.

Subject: Exemption to FAR 65.107
Hello. I own an Experimental plane, a Zodiac 601 HDS, that I did not
build, so I am not allowed to do the annual condition inspection. It is
difficult to find A+Ps who will do the annual condition inspection on
Experimental planes, so I have requested an exemption from the FAA to
FAR 65.107 to allow me, as the owner of an Experimental Amateur-built
aircraft, to attend a light-sport aircraft repairman inspection rating
training course, and upon sucessful completion of that course be allowed
to apply and receive a LSA Repairman Inspection Rating Certificate for
the purpose of conducting annual condition inspoections on my Zodiac 601
HDS.
A while back there was a glitch that allowed Experimental Planes to be
registered as ELSA, which then allowed the owners, even if they did not
build the planes, to take a course which would allow them to do the
annual condition inspection. My request to the FAA would allow present
owners who did not build their planes to get the same benefit.
I do not think that changing this regulation would offend AP/IAs because
they do not want to work on Experimental planes anyway. It might
increase their business because if the owner could sign off his own
condition inspection then I suspect that AP/IAs would not mind helping
with the annual inspections.
Also, I suspect that allowing owners who did not build their planes to
sign off the annual inspections would increase the value of Experimental
planes.
There is a chance that this Exemption could be obtained. By submitting a
petition it will show the FAA that there is public demand for changing
the regulations.
My petition for exemption has been assigned a DOT docket number of
FAA-2010-0165-0001. Anybody can make a comment to this by going to the
docket web site: http//www.regulations.gov/search/Regs/home.html#home -
typing those numbers in the "Enter Keyword of ID search block. Then on
the right side of your docket will be a "submit comment" icon - by
clicking on that anyone can request to be added to my petition or can
make general comments about the petition.
Regards,
Damien
