What part of "operations that are in violation" don't you understand Larry?


Are you able to provide the specific language of any of "those
operations that are in violation" and publicly advertise such? The
implication in your comment is, that regardless of the aircrafts'
airworthiness, the FAA should reject them to make a point.

The phrase in the regulations is "for recreation and education." The
spirit of the law is that aircraft certified under the EXP-HB
classification are to be built in a not for profit setting and not as a
way to get around the certification requirements in place for aircraft
manufacturers.

And it is not regardless of the aircrafts airworthiness. It is
specifically because of the aircrafts airworthiness. The power that the
FAA has to issue the certificate comes from the law that also sets the
rules under which an EXP-HB certificate can be issued. If the aircraft
isn't build under those rules it is not airworthy at least as far as
those rules are concerned.



And to pick out companies or individuals for enforcement action who
are advertising a violation of the law is hardly arbitrary or capricious.

It's hardly likely that any companies or individuals are doing that
also.

You really are a moron. For somebody that seems to have no skill other
than cutting and pasting to USENET it amazes me that you don't realize
that it is specifically this practice that is causing the FAA to look at
changing the regulations.

I know of at least two places where I could of have my kit delivered to
and shown up for a few days and watched while it was being built doing
as much or as little work (including none at all) as I desired. I would
have been able to pose for some photos with the plane under construction
and been able to show that to the DAR along with some bogus paperwork
and I not only would have been able to get the EXP-HB AW certificate I
would be able to get the repairman's certificate as well.
