Acrobatic Homebuilt?
If I read the limitations correctly for my homebuilt, it looks like aerobatics
are out. The verbiage looks like the kind of boilerplate that is used in all cases. So, are there special airworthyness versions for aerobatic capable homebuilts? How is this handled with the inspector? thanks, tom pettit |

So, are there special airworthyness versions for aerobatic capable homebuilts? How is this handled with the inspector? thanks, tom pettit Which scenario applies to you? 1) Did you build this airplane? If you did, you can perform whatever aerobatics you want in the test phase and put that in the logbook entry when you finish your test phase. 2) If you built the airplane and it is out of its phase 1 test period, you can return the airplane to phase 1 testing (logbook entry) and validate those maneuvers for your airplane through another logbook entry. 3) If someone else built the airplane and didn't write specific aerobatic maneuvers into the aircraft's phase 1 sign-off, those maneuvers are not approved for your airplane. Unless, of course, you find the builder and get him/her to return the airplane to the phase 1 test phase, and sign-off on those maneuvers. |
