In work.
FAR 21.191(g) requires that you built 51% of the aircraft.
The airplane must be complete in every detail ready to fly. This
may include being located at an acceptable airport where the first flight
can take place. When the inspector arrives, the aircraft should have the covers and panels open
that would be off for a condition inspection. A condition inspection
must be recorded in the logbook. The aircraft also must be
registered.
Links to FAA forms do change. A
search for forms can be done on their site and the changed link reported
to me.
A good
FAA Link to info on Amateur Built aircraft.
AC90-89A, Amateur-Built Aircraft & Ultralight Flight Testing Handbook,
This AC sets forth suggestions and safety related recommendations to
assist amateur and ultralight builders in developing individualized
aircraft flight test plans.
There is also a lot of good information on licensing your homebuilt in
the EAA Members Only section under
Homebuilders.
They have a section on
registering and
Testing your
homebuilt aircraft.
My goal is to add
something twice a week to this site. I am not going to
announce this site until after I have things close to what is
needed. Need to add links and material for info
on: Builders logs (proof you built the
airplane) FAA Kit built airplane list
Plan built airplanes This site will NOT have info
on what to do with questionable items. I do not have the
time to debate the issues. I will point you to the FAA
"bottom line". I am tailoring this site to those that do
everything according to the plans the designer put out.
