Hi Rick,,
I just went through this very question with fdso . Yes a special airworthiness cert is first issued with all the limitations , ie only within 25 miles of home airport ect . Once the pic or owner completes the test phase , The special limitations are lifted .You do not get another cert. once this is done . This is confusing because my kr just has an airworthiness cert and not a special and i purchased another experimental that had a special cert only , so after many calls ect , I recieved the answer that a FDSO used to come out and sign the plane off a second time after the test phase and reissue an air worthiness cert and they no longer do this . The certificate stays a special all that is needed to lift any special limitations is the loggbook endorsement with special wording of the completed test phase . Look for that without it you are limited . So in short you will see experimentals operating under two different air worthiness certificates . Both being the same thing once the test phase is done.Kevincert is issuedAt 09:15 AM 1/17/04 -0600, you wrote: >My airworthiness certificate says" Special >>Airworthiness Certificate" on it.
