REVISED LISTING OF AMATEUR-BUILT AIRCRAFT KITS April 03, 2001 The following is a revised listing of aircraft kits that have been evaluated and found eligible in meeting the "major portion" requirement of Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR part 21), specifically section 21.191 (g). This listing is only representative of those kits where the kit manufacturer or distributor requested an evaluation by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for eligibility and SHOULD NOT be construed as meaning the kit(s) are FAA "certified", "certificated", or "approved". There are other aircraft kits that meet the "major portion" requirement of section 21.191 (g), but those manufacturers or distributors have not requested an FAA evaluation. The placement of an aircraft kit on this list is NOT a prerequisite for airworthiness certification. The primary purpose of this listing is to assist FAA Inspectors/Designees and other interested individuals by eliminating the duplication of evaluations for "major portion" determination when the aircraft is presented for airworthiness certification as an "Amateur-Built Experimental." Kit manufacturers or distributors whose status is unknown are identified (?) and their address deleted. Additional information and guidance can be found in Advisory Circular (AC) 20-27D, Certification and Operation of Amateur-Built Aircraft, and in AC 20-139, Commercial Assistance During Construction of Amateur-Built Aircraft, or by contacting your local FAA Flight Standards District Office (FSDO) or Manufacturing Inspection District Office (MIDO). Those publications and other information pertaining to amateur-built experimental aircraft are available online @ http://av-info.faa.gov/dst/amateur/. Questions concerning this information may be directed to the FAA Airworthiness Programs Branch (AFS-610), P.O.
