>>Can a CD with a 0-200 be Sport Pilot qualified? Jim, et al:
I'm gonna write up a canned answer for this question. I just this minute got of the phone with another fellow asking the very same thing. The short answer is "Yes". The longer answer is another question: "What justifies the installation of the O200 in the C or CD?" There is, currently, as far as I know, *no* STC for installing an O200 in any Ercoupe or derivative other than the model "D". Installation of an O200 in any Ercoupe or derivative other than a model "D" *requires* a field approval. (This may change in the future, but for now it is fact.) If you have a C or CD and it has an O200 installed and your paperwork does not sport a field approval, then that plane is unairworthy in the eyes of the FAA, regardless of the category. If it has a field approval, then it is just as LSA qualified as any other C or CD.
