[COUPERS] Sport plane category

[Ed Burkhead]

----[Please read http://ercoupers.com/disclaimer.htm before following any advice in this forum.]----   The certified gross weight comes from the type certificate.  Can a __Supplemental__ Type Certificate change the __certified__ gross weight to conform with the Sport Plane category?   Could the STC specify that the plane, only when flown within 1232 lb. can be flown in the Sport Plane category by a “Sport Pilot” and if flown over that weight can be flown in the Normal category?   Ed Burkhead N3802H, Ercoupe 415-D Peoria, IL   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, June 15, 2001 10:44 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [COUPERS] Two Questions:   ----[Please read http://ercoupers.com/disclaimer.htm before following any advice in this forum.]---- Wouldn't altering the wing tanks change the actual weight  and useful weight but not  change the certified maximuim gross weight? I've always believed that the certified gross weight was what it was... and couldn't be changed. Am I missing something?                   Andy Pomeroy ==^================================================================EASY UNSUBSCRIBE click here: http://topica.com/u/?aVxiLm.aVHFyqOr send an email To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]This email was sent to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] T O P I C A -- Register now to manage your mail!http://www.topica.com/partner/tag02/register==^================================================================ ==^================================================================ EASY UNSUBSCRIBE click here: http://topica.com/u/?aVxiLm.aVzvvT Or send an email To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] This email was sent to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] T O P I C A -- Register now to manage your mail! http://www.topica.com/partner/tag02/register ==^================================================================
