So here is an interesting question that comes out of that -- is the FAA
willing to write waivers for running a non-hybrid vehicle that can
operate outside the amateur exemption inside the amateur exemption? I.e.
if ERPS built a big follow-on to POGO, capable of more than 200k
lbf-sec, could it do envelope expansion testing under the limit? Also,
did Jay talk about how willing the FAA is to write burn-time waivers?
-p
There is no problem with just partially filling the tanks of a vehicle capable of more than 200k lbf-sec, and flying it as exempt. All of our early big vehicle flights are going to be like that.
We have just asked for a burn time waiver, so we'll let you know if there are any problems...
