Is this 51% Rule compliant?
http://www.usjabiru.com/Four%20Seats%20Four%20Weeks.htm
I know that the Glasair "Two Weeks to Taxi" program claims that their local FSDO has examined their program and given it their blessing. But after sitting in a Sportsman 2+2 I'm not convinced it's wide enough for me and my usual flying partners. This plane looks like it has more room, and the "Builder Education" program looks like they do even more work for you than "Two Weeks To Taxi" - you end up with a plane that is even painted. But I've also heard that the FAA is cracking down on Builder Assist programs where the builder does less than 51%. So if I bought this, would the FAA be knocking on my door next? (Which brings up the other question: what happens when the FAA says you didn't do 51%? Uncertify the plane?) I've also heard that they crack the whip pretty hard on these programs, making you work well into the night every night. What would they do if you were, say, suffering from chronic knee pain and needing to sit down a lot while you worked (I used a bar stool a lot when I was building my canoe)? Could they work around that? -- Paul Tomblin http://xcski.com/blogs/pt/ If Microsoft made your letter box, all some one would have to do is write "Burn the house down" on a piece of paper and post it through the door, and your house would go up in flames. - David Ruck |
