If you glider is "based" where it is according to the Operating
Limitations, and you just happen to have it at home for the weather.
Then fine.
Some people may have a glider with an operating limitation "based" at
airport X in State Y. But the now live in state N and operate (based) out of
airport Z.
People who have bought and moved gliders across the country will have to
redo their Operating Limitations and get a new Airworthiness Certificate.

Parachute pack date and current charts have nothing to do with "checking all
experimental aircraft in the area".
Neither does the plastic pilot certificate.
But they can cover all of that in the "ramp check".
I'm not flying today, I did not bring my parachute and charts.
The parachute is not part of the "glider".. you said you wanted to see the
glider.

You could be in violation of the operating limitation if operating in UT
as
the glider is not longer "based" at it's original airport.
And in violation of not sending the Program letter.

Be prepared to have the FSDO complete a new Operating Limitation, inspect
the aircraft and require the annual program letter.
Many times they will want a recent "condition inspection" completed by an
A&P before they inspect it. Recent may mean less that 6 months ago, or
even
less than 3 months ago.

My plane is registered experimental and I have not been sending the
annual program letter to the local FSDO. I plan on starting but have
a couple of questions:

1 - The original airworthy certificate was issued by the Reno NV FSDO
and the first two owners sent the letter there. I am in the SLC UT
area and am wondering if I can/should send the letter to the Reno FSDO
or do I need to send it to the SLC FSDO?

2 - If I send it to the local SLC FSDO should I include a copy of the
original paperwork?

I will be contacting the SLC FSDO next week but wanted to solicit
opinions here first

Thanks in advance

Just sent in my program letter to Reno. They replied to me asking
where my glider was based, they also wanted me to call them. My call
to them went very well, they wanted a ramp check done when I moved the
glider to the airport, this will be done in a few months as the
airport is snowed in. In answering my questions they informed me they
have 3 years to do all the ramp checks for experimental aircraft and
they have hundreds in their area to do. They will be checking if the
program letter is in the glider along with registration,
airworthiness, operating manual, weight and balance, current charts
for the area, parachute pack current and new plastic license. Probably
missing some items but Reno was very accommodating, they just have
many aircraft to inspect. Tom VN
