Gross weight and LSA rule
RLYTECH
Hi Kevin,
Point of Order :<)
ERCO was gone wayyyy before our "LSA rule".
If we consider your statement entirely without regard to LSA, you seem to say
owners of a CD later converted to a D have no option to reverse the process
(should they so desire via their properly certificated repairman) using the
ERCO precedent and applicable type certificate information as "approved
data". If that was your intent, what would be the supporting authority
(exclusive of the inconsistent interpretations of various FAA regions and personnel)?
Regards,
WRB

RE: [COUPERS-TECH] Gross weight and LSA rule
"The
CAA assigned a new Approved Type Certificate number (A-787) to the 415D. The
ATC was granted on June 13, 1947. Erco soon decided that the up-elevator
limitation seriously affected the landing qualities of the aircraft.... The
415CD restored the up-elevator to the previous 13 degree limit and reduced the
gross weight back to 1260 pounds."
Now
it seems to me that those with the (converted) D model wanting to revert back
to the CD model with a lower gross weight are doing no more than ERCO
themselves did.
