Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group Is Your ELSA Airworthiness About to Expire?

During your original ELSA airworthiness certification, if you chose to have the privilege of doing flight training for compensation or hire, your airworthiness certificate will show an expiration date of January 31, 2010.

WHETHER OR NOT YOU WANT TO DO ELSA FLIGHT TRAINING FOR HIRE AFTER THE DEADLINE, YOU MUST OBTAIN A NEW AIRWORTHINESS CERTIFICATE AND OPERATING LIMITATIONS. IF YOU WAIT UNTIL AFTER THE DEADLINE, YOUR AIRCRAFT WILL BE ILLEGAL TO FLY AND WILL NOT BE ABLE TO BE RE-CERTIFICATED!

If you do NOT want to continue flight training for hire, all you will need is a new airworthiness certificate and a new set of operating limitations that removes the flight-training-for-hire privilege. In that case, we can issue the new paperwork without a physical inspection of your aircraft.

If you want to continue flight training for hire after the deadline, in addition to a new airworthiness certificate and operating limitations, you are required to apply for a Letter Of Deviation Authority (LODA) with your local FSDO. Note that DARs are not allowed to issue LODAs, so it is probably best to work through the FSDO in those cases.

For more information, phone or email us. Thanks!
