I’m more
concerned with other limitations that may be placed on our type of
aircraft. Wouldn’t having the
sport pilot classification result in our having to report our entering class D
and above airspace before our flights?
What about traveling cross country. I understand that there are some limitations on ultralights
that currently don’t affect us. Also,
what about night flying? I’ve
heard there are limitations on that.
Would the Sport Pilot category be something some aircraft could be part
of and not others? Or is it
something all of us would have to conform to. I could see the FAA having a lot of fun trying to determine
who is or isn’t a sport pilot if two planes that look identical are classified
differently. I’m not jabbing at
what’s been said, I’m just really curious about these issues.

It is correct that the gross weight is what is on the type
certificate. And that is above the proposed 1232 in the
Sport Pilot classification. So the 1232 in the Sport Pilot
classification would have to be changed to make the 415C
compliant.
But I hate to see the negative taken and say
our chance is nill on the possibility of the change before
we have even gotten to the comment phase. If we don't
get behind it during the comment period you will have been
correct in your statement.
The above is not intended to start a war of words but to
hopefully get the group behind trying to get the change
made.
I know there are different views as to why it should
or should not be part of the Sport Pilot classification.
If the change is made it still does not mean you have to
move your airplane into that group.
My reason for trying for the change is #1 the annuals and
medical 2nd. If it was approved I probably would cancel my
present pilot's license and go to the Sport Pilot.
Now to further explain my #1 reason. It is not to put
unapproved parts on my Coupe but to get a good annual
for the dollars that I am presently spending too just receive
an IA signature.

You're right, Andy, the
certified gross weight is what it is, no matter how
a person changes the actual weight. As I understand it, the 1232 pounds
is
the equivalent to a metric weight that is already agreed upon in Europe, so
our chance of changing things is next to nil. Syd Cohen

Am I missing something?
