Re: Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group Sport Pilot Questions

Hi Rod, my comments inline:

Can a experimental amateur built fly over densely populated areas ?

Depends on how the ops limits are written but generally, yes.  I have owned both exp am built and ELSAs.  Both can be flown over densely populated areas, but with someplace to go in the event of an engine failure that I don't endanger people on the ground. 

Can a Sport Pilot Fly over same in like a J3 ?

Yes.

Is there a list of "regular maintenance" A SP/Owner of the craft is allowed to preform on his plane ?

Basically routine sort of stuff that doesn't affect the airframe or engine in a major way.  Oil changes, tires, brakes, etc.  Common sense sort of stuff.  And other stuff you can do, too, but with the supervision of a trained mechanic.  Different people will interpret it slightly differently depending on what they are comfortable doing.  Some people can't change a tire on a car.

Does the AP who preforms the annual check your ELT and is one required for personal not for hire flights with passengers ?

Yes.

I know these answers are in my FAR but asking here is easier than looking all that up. :)

Thanks,

Rod
