  • 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).

  • OKANAGAN VALLEY ELECTRIC RAIL by Elham Boozar
    SUSTAINABLE ROAD SAFETY IMPROVEMENT THROUGH THE PROMOTION OF AN ALTERNATIVE MODE: OKANAGAN VALLEY ELECTRIC RAIL by Elham Boozarjomehri B.Sc. in Aerospace Engineering, Sharif University of Technology, 2007 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF APPLIED SCIENCE in The College of Graduate Studies (Civil Engineering) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Okanagan) March 2009 © Elham Boozarjomehri, 2009 ABSTRACT Across North America there is an increasing demand for safer, faster, less energy intensive and less costly modes of transportation. There are enormous social and economic costs associated with road collisions, which have been recognized world-wide as a serious problem. One local alternative to reduce auto use and resultant road collisions is the placement of a railway line through the Okanagan Valley in British Columbia, Canada, connecting Osoyoos and US railways in the south with Vernon and cross-Canada railways in the north. This line would not only be able to service Okanagan Valley commuters and tourists, currently served by Highway 97, but also provide an additional freight link between the United States and Canada. The objectives of this research were threefold: (1) To develop a set of macro-level collision prediction models for Highway 97, for use in calculating the Safety benefits of the proposed railway, (2) To conduct a comprehensive literature review of the design issues and costs of railway freight and passenger systems, and, (3) To conduct a social cost-benefit analysis of electric railways in Canada for a case study of the Okanagan Valley. To this end, a conceptual design, including route alignment, traffic forecast as well as a social benefit/cost analysis, was conducted.
