Eric, Thanks for passing on notice of this AC http://www.faa.gov/documentLibrary/media/Advisory_Circular/AC_90-116.pdf
I read only part of it and stopped where it says; " 8. DETERMINING AIRCRAFT ELIGIBILITY. Eligible aircraft must meet all of the following requirements detailed below: a. Experimental Certificate. Experimental certificate issued under ? 21.191(g), Operating amateur-built aircraft, or ? 21.191(i)(2), Operating light-sport aircraft. b. Kit-Built Aircraft. Currently the FAA is limiting aircraft eligibility to those aircraft built from a kit. These aircraft have the highest population and consistency from aircraft to aircraft. Plans-built aircraft will not be considered at this time." The FAA kit list is here; http://www.faa.gov/aircraft/gen_av/ultralights/amateur_built/kits/media/amateur_built_kit_listing.pdf So our "plans-built" KR's don't qualify. Bummer. My first flight ended in an incident the inspector termed "hard contact with runway" Talking with Zipper, another pilot aboard might have prevented this incident. Maybe the FAA & EAA will extend the program to include plans-built aircraft in the future. I hope so.
