Experimental LSA gliders?
Hi Gang
Having a LSA power plane and in reviewing the proposed new experimental certifications (FAA Order 8130.2F) which includes gliders left me very puzzled. Why would anyone register a glider or motor glider as an experimental or standard light sport aircraft (LSA) although 8130.2F specifically includes them? The reason for registering a power plane as a LSA is that no medical is required, only a valid driving license, with the caveat that one is never denied a medical. A glider or motor glider, whether registered as standard or experimental, does not require the pilot to have a medical PERIOD. So what am I missing? I am confused! Can anyone educate me please or is this bureaucratic BS. Dave |
