I see 2 topics here- 1. The AOPA web page talks about getting a "Fringe Airport Policy" waiver and that seems it would apply to KLXT. If you are operating out of one of the listed "capacity-constrained airports" you are unlikely to be approved. I doubt any KRs are based in one of these facilities. Randy, I guess it comes down to where you are based. And as is noted previously, the different FSDOs have differing interpretations of the rules so YRMV... The AOPA info as quoted; "You'll need to use the FAA's ADS-B ADAPT https://www.faa.gov/nextgen/equipadsb/adapt/ program to make a request to do your flight. ADAPT stands for "ADS-B Deviation Authorization Preflight Tool". You can make your request no more than 24 hours out and no less than 1 hour before. AOPA has put together a ADAPT fact sheet https://www.aopa.org/advocacy/ads-b-adapt that may be helpful as well." This page also talks about; " For long-term authorizations for fringe operations in aircraft not equipped with ADS-B Out, such as for based aircraft, the ATC facility responsible for that airspace can be contacted to enter into a Letter of Agreement (LOA). An LOA will replace the need to conduct per-flight requests in ADAPT. This is one of the few cases where the local ATC facility is contacted directly. AOPA can assist with contact information, see ADAPT contacts."
2. As for initial airworthiness certification, aircraft without engine-driven electrical aircraft should be exempted from ADS-B equipage: 14 CFR 91.215(b)(3) and 91.215(b)(5) specify exemptions for “any aircraft which was not originally certificated with an engine-driven electrical system or which has not subsequently been certified with such a system installed, balloon, or glider.” See https://www.aopa.org/news-and-media/all-news/2017/january/19/ads-b-requirement-clarified-for-nonelectrical-aircraft John Bouyea http://bouyea.net/cur_proj M-19 Flying Squirrel build starting… KR2S – Boat in Progress & For Sale N133RM KR-2S – restoration completed and flying OR81/ Hillsboro, OR -----Original Message----- Subject: Re: KR> KR GATHERING 2020 We applied for a waiver at the Fort Worth Office and one of the questions they asked was do you have an electrical system. We said yes and that disqualified us from going out and coming back. They would allow us to move the airplane out for repairs but we had to have an ADSB before we came back _______________________________________________ Search the KRnet Archives at https://www.mail-archive.com/krnet@list.krnet.org/.
