There is more than one category of Experimental... and a certified
airplane that is "demoted" to experimental is most certainly NOT
"amatuer built".

could not carry pax in an experimental? happens all the time...
many home builts and gliders are certified experimental..

the aircraft must be marked "experimental" in letters of a stated size and
in an area visible to the pax

must have been an insurance thing..

Just wondering. Is it possible (read practical) to take a certified
aircraft (C172 for example) and have it "demoted" to an Experimental?

A few weeks ago, I saw a 2003 C182 that had been "demoted" to an
Experimental due to the installed Garmin G1000 avionics. I was told that
this aircraft could not carry passengers because of this status, so we

were

unable to see the avionics in action.

FWIW...
