  • FROM the LEFT SEAT Len Alt, President
    Volume 07 - 05 May 2007 FROM THE LEFT SEAT Len Alt, President Spring greetings. With the good weather finally arrived I hope you are all getting in some great flights. Below see Dave Riedel enjoying the evening air above Warrenton Air Park in his new PPG Quad, the latest addition to the long list at WAP of strange contraptions that will fly. With the great weather comes a welcome increase in flying activity at the Air Park. As we begin the new flying season let’s take a minute to focus on safety in all we do, on the ground as well as in the air. We’ll have more aircraft moving in the skies and over the ground. At the Air Park we have a wide range of aircraft types, with very different operating characteristics, speeds, and takeoff and landing procedures. Please be extra careful of the other guy, especially since in many cases the other guy at Warrenton Air Park is a relatively new pilot with limited experience. If you see someone doing something unsafe, take a minute to discuss it with them and point out a better procedure. If you would prefer not to do that, contact me and I will speak with the other guy and keep your name out of it. You may find out the other pilot was not aware of the hazard created and appreciates the heads up. Thanks to Mel Bearns and Jim Birnbaum for arranging a tour of the FAA Air Traffic Control Center at Vint Hill on May 6th at 11:00 A.M.

As the aircraft was crossing the Firth of Forth, the pilot (who was also the owner) noticed a smell of burning. He immediately carried out a 180° turn to head back to land, reducing power from 5,400 to 4,000 RPM and aimed for Sorbie airfield. Descending through 3,700 feet the engine stopped abruptly so the pilot selected a suitable field into which he was able to perform a safe landing into wind, with no further incident. Examination after the landing showed that the crankshaft had failed and had then penetrated the engine casing. The engine was removed from the aircraft and, after the engine was dismantled, the failed crankshaft items were sent to the AAIB for further investigation (Figure 1 shows the failed item, next to an intact crankshaft from a later Rotax 582 engine).

  • Revised Listing of Amateur Built Aircraft Kits
    REVISED LISTING OF AMATEUR-BUILT AIRCRAFT KITS Updated on: June 22, 2021 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, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) Part 21, Certification Procedures for Products and Parts, specifically, § 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 may allow a builder to meet the “major portion” requirement of § 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 with a question (?) mark and their address has been deleted. Additional Information and Guidance • Advisory Circular (AC) 20-27G, Certification and Operation of Amateur-Built Aircraft. • FAA Order 8130.35B, Amateur-Built Aircraft National Kit Evaluation Team • Contact your local FAA Flight Standards District Office (FSDO) or Manufacturing Inspection District Office (MIDO).

USUA’s by several people. We have a Quicksilver owned reasoning for the extension of these deadlines was by three club members, a Challenger owned by based upon the relatively low number of available three flyers, and a Flightstar owned by a group of pilot and instructor examiners, as well as the few six. This is an excellent way to reduce the cost of available airworthiness representatives needed to flying by sharing ownership among several flyers. certify the aircraft. The Quicksilver is an example of a “previously owned”, relatively low cost aircraft that is providing USUA has received a reply from FAA a lot of flying fun for not a lot of cost. If you know denying the petition. To remedy the problems of some club members, or prospective club addressed in the petition, FAA promises to get members who are looking to get into, or back into “aggressive” with their scheduling of courses flying with a limited investment please share this designed to produce the number of examiners option with them. needed to effectively transition ultralight pilots, instructors and aircraft.
