For USA Gliders.
The SSA has it covered. Just some of the good behind the scenes work
they accomplish for us.
The Identification Plate Exemption # 4988 and the Extension Letter
(now valid to OCT 30, 2011), are on the SSA website at
http://www.ssa.org/files/member/Data...ion%202008.pdf
Yes, you must carry both documents in the glider if you do not want to
secure an external identification plate to your glider.
The exemption letter is reissued by the FAA every 3 years, at the
discretion of the FAA, after the SSA submits a petition.
I believe Judy Ruprecht is submitting this recurring petition for us.
