OK.
I see your point. Hartmut From: [email protected] To: [email protected]; [email protected] Subject: RE: [ercoupe-tech] legal LSA Date: Thu, 23 Jul 2009 15:16:33 -0500 Hartmut, In the Sport pilot rule, and in the same paragraph as the 1320 weight limitation ( and the "since its certification has continued to meet the following":) "(1) (ii) the 1320 weight restriction" "(7)A fixed or ground adjustable propeller if a powered aircraft other than a powered glider" An aeromatic is neither a fixed or ground adjustable. So adhering strictly to this rule, if a Coupe EVER had an aeromatic prop it can never be a LSA. One limitation carries the same weight as any other. I don't agree and doubt it would come up but strickly speaking that is the letter of the rule.

The aeromatic prop was certified for all 415 Models, including the C and the C/D, does NOT disqualify an Ercoupe for the Sport Pilot class.

Bill To: [email protected] From: [email protected] Date: Thu, 23 Jul 2009 06:21:13 -0700 Subject: [ercoupe-tech] legal LSA The rules are very clear today; the plane must have met ALL LSA standards since its certification. If at any point it has been altered so it does not meet LSA standards, it can NEVER go back and be "made into an LSA". I do look forward to the progress made on FAA changes/clarification of the language though. Personally, I think a D model could be a C so very easy, without changing the plane. Same plane, just a different gross wt. Makes perfect sense to me, maybe that is why the FAA doesnt see it that way*L Gary NEW mobile Hotmail. Optimized for YOUR phone. Click here.
