Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group Spam or what

Greetings all,

The board seems to be rather quiet as of late.  I am still looking for an airplane.  I have about settled on a KOLB. I like the folding wings and I hear good reviews on the KOLB. Hangering locally is expensive. And I like the idea of doing my cross country with the bird in tow.  Any comments here on the KOLB.   Are there other brands that have such an easily folded wings?

Thanks,
David d.

Re: Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group 10,000 hours

Yeah, we've been really swamped. The economy has really turned around
here in the DC area and we have new students showing up every day.
We've picked up 4 in the past 3 days with 3 more likely in the next 2 days.

RE: Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group 10,000 hours

Helen, that is fantastic!  :) I'd be flying at your school if I lived there.

I was out at the airport yesterday for KRHV's airport day. Pretty fun. :)

Also I forgot to post helping my dad build his vans rv 12...

Http://chuckbuildsaplane.blogspot.com

He showed me how to rivet and over the course of a couple days installed a bunch of rivets. It was quite a bit of work and at the same time soooooo much fun. :)

Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group Announcing new LSA s

On Friday June 24, two Pipistrel Virus SW LSA aircraft and one selflaunch Taurus sailplane received their LSA Airworthiness Certificates. There are the first Pipistrel aircraft to receive LSA certification.

 

One Virus SW was certificated as a glider and one as an airplane. The Taurus selflaunch sailplane is of course a glider. It is the Rotax 503 version not the battery powered one. The glider Virus SW goes to San Antonio Light Sport near San Antonio, TX. and the airplane version to ouy dealer in the twin cities area on Minnesota.

 

Other versions of these remarkable aircraft have been flying in the USA for more than 6 years as Experimental, Racing/Exhibition aircraft.

 

For more information visit the Pipistrel USA web site.

 

See you at Oshkosh.

At the EAA "ask the expert" site the expert wrote:
"Neither the sport pilot certificate nor the ELSA airworthiness certificate are internationally recognized. In order to fly to Canada as you suggest, you would have to have specific written permission from Transport Canada for both yourself as the pilot and your aircraft in order to operate in Canadian airspace."

Logically (although government departments are not always logical) it would seem that would be fine with the Canadians as our LSA standards meet what they call their Ultralight standards (and of course they have been allowing the older LSA classificable aircraft such as Taylorcraft, etc) in their skys for decades) and out Sport Pilot licensing standards, IIRR, meet or exceed their standards for an Ultraligh pilot's permit.

So here are the questions:

# Has anyone here or anyone you know ever flown into Canada with a US LSA and a Sport Pilot license, either with or without that "written permission?"

# Has anyone here or anyone you know or now of ever tried to get written permission (from Transport Canada) to do that?

# If so did they get permission, or were flatly turned down, or given conditional permission, or just gave up after getting a runaround?

Re: Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group brs recovery

Also, check with the Department of Transportation or look at the rules.  Shipment of rocket motors are generally classified 1.3 as a hazardous reactive material and not explosive.  The regulations spell out what you can ship over the road and in the air.  explosives are rated 1.1 and need to be made less reactive before shipping but 1.3, 1.4, and 1.5 reactive materials are a different story.

Re: Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group brs recovery

Legally.  Unless you're licensed.  I'm sure people ship stuff and lie about the contents.  For an example of the potential results, google "Valuejet 592" or go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ValuJet_Flight_592 or you can read the entire NTSB 271 page pdf file if you're seriously motivated.  (I was not.  I get enough material on the subject at work.)

 

I have an expired BRS 1050 for sale.  Use it, repack it, whatever.  But, you need to pick it up at my place.  I won't ship it.  I don't have the license to ship hazmat.

Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group Re: New video - How to see your home town

Here is a video of taking the wing off our trike (Revo) using our patent pending folding/hinged front strut. In an emergency you can separate the wing and put it down on the floor in minutes or fold it on the trike (second link) and safe tons of hanger space. Also, you can own multiple wings for the same trike. One for flying 45 mph and one for flying 100 mph.

Very soon I will be flying a Revo that we built to deliver it to Alabama along Florida's west coast and then in mid July flying a Revo to Oshkosh in Wisconsin over Tennessee mountains and through the flat farms of the midwest in the US. I am thinking to blogging about it with pictures from this whole 2400 mile trip through the eastern side of US. This will be my third time going across east side of US. This time I will try and share it with others through facebook and blogs.

The feeling of majesty of nature that you get flying in an open cockpit aircraft through these scenes is not something that comes across in pictures or words. I hope I can do it some justice. I hope you can enjoy this experience through me.

Best,
Abid Farooqui

Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group Slightly OT: When thinking of Military Aircraft what type of music do you think of?

I am the education officer for the Pueblo Weisbrod Aircraft Museum (www.pwam.org) located in Pueblo Colorado on the grounds of the Pueblo Memorial Airport (PUB). I am attempting to make a video show casing the aircraft, missiles and vehicles on display. The "Concept of the Operation" is to show a picture of the aircraft or missile "in action" and then a photo of it in the museum. I am hoping to put this video on youtube and other social media sites to educate the public on the museum and its displays. My question to you the aviation enthusiast community is, "What type of music do you think of when looking at or thinking about military aircraft?" This music will be added to the video that I produce. I know this isn't your "typical" aviation related issue and might require a little introspection and "artistic" thought. I distributed this message to a wide variety of aviation "type" groups to get the widest possible input from aviation enthusiasts.

I look forward to your responses. Please think "family friendly" G Rated music please. :-)

Re: Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group FAA and Trikes

Actually I don't think so. I think HI trike operations need something. They are simply way far above average for incidents, accidents and fatal events. FAA does need to do something there. It will be good for triking in the long run. Enough is enough. Obviously the operations there have not been able to get it right.

The article was inflammatory, misleading, and full of 'opinion' statements and

Re: Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group 10,000 hours

Helen,

Congratulations on your operation.

Just today I was at the airport in Boise ID.
Their flight school boasts about 12 students at the current time.
Right now, only one student is there for sport pilot.
They do have a plane for sport pilot training "Atec Faeta", which also gets used
for private pilot training.
I guess a person could conclude that SP/LSA is not big in this area.

Re: Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group 10,000 hours

First Light Sport Flight School To Exceed
10,000 Flight Hours

Stevensville, Maryland – Chesapeake Sport Pilot has become the first
light sport flight
school in the nation to exceed 10,000 flight hours on its fleet of light
sport aircraft.
Started in early 2007 as a one plane operation, Chesapeake Sport Pilot
has grown to
become the largest and most successful light sport flight school in the
country with seven
airplanes, more than a dozen highly qualified instructors, and
approximately 60 students
in training at any given time.

Light sport aviation is a new form of recreational aviation that allows
a person to earn a
pilot certificate with as little as 20 hours of high quality flight
instruction reducing the
time and cost required to earn a pilot certificate. It also allows a
pilot to use a driver's
license in lieu of a traditional FAA medical certificate.

"When we started CSP, we didn't know what to expect. Thinking back to
January 2007,
we didn't expect to become this big," explained CSP owner Tim Adelman.
"We are
excited that our passion for aviation is shared so enthusiastically by
all those involved,
including our staff, instructors, students and renters."

Indeed, passion for aviation is really what CSP is all about. A large
part of the reason for
CSP's success has been their hiring practice of selecting only the most
experienced and
passionate flight instructors for the staff. Many are retired airline or
military pilots and
all share a love to teach in light aircraft. "Reaching 10,000 hours is
really about the
professionalism of our staff," explained Adelman. "When you have Naval
and Air Force
aviators, captains of Boeing 777s and a staff averaging nearly 10,000
hours each, the
level of aviation expertise at CSP is truly remarkable."

The broad depth of experience and passion for aviation that all members
of the CSP staff
share has translated into a wide and diverse customer base. These
customers range from
teens exploring aviation for the first time to senior citizens working
on a rating or getting
back into flying after a long layoff. Jim Depfer, one of CSP's graduates
explained, "It
was an unbelievable enjoyable experience being a small part of such a
fantastic
accomplishment of CSP reaching 10,000 hours. Being an older person that
finally
satisfied my dream of learning to fly makes me feel proud of
accomplishing that dream
with CSP and being a small part of those 10,000 hours."

During the past four years CSP has not only racked up the flight hours
training pilots but
also made a positive mark on our aviation community through a variety of
community
service activities. CSP is an official squadron of the Youth Aviation
Adventure boy and
girl scout program and frequently hosts Young Eagle rallies and wings
seminars. These
events are organized by staff and customer volunteers. "It is our
mission as a school not
only to produce well trained pilots, but to produce active and involved
aviation citizens,"
explained CSP Chief Flight Instructor Helen Woods. "Involving our
students, graduates,
and other customers in community service projects is a vital part of
that goal."

CSP graduate Tim Cochran explained, "CSP not only allowed me to fulfill
my life long
dream of becoming a pilot, but supports and encourages me to introduce
other's to the
dream of flight through volunteer and community service opportunities."

Graduate Tim Gilbert echoed a similar thought, "I'm excited to be a part
of Chesapeake
Sport Pilot's 10,000 plus hours - included in which I have seen
thorough, quality flight
instruction, friendly and first name basis customer service, and
significant volunteer
service to the regional aviation community."

While excited to exceed the 10,000 hour mark, CSP is even more excited
about the
future. In 2008 CSP, under the guidance of Rotax certified 22 year IA
mechanic, Jamie
Shimer, opened a full service light sport, experimental, and traditional
aircraft
maintenance facility housed in its new 6000 square foot hangar at Bay
Bridge Airport. In
2009 CSP became the Mid Atlantic and North East dealer for SeaRey, the
best selling
light sport amphibian in the US and this year became the US distributor
for the Auto
Gyro gyroplane.

"CSP's mission is to make flying accessible, affordable, and fun,"
explained Woods.
"While I believe we've done a good job at this over the past four years,
I'm even more
excited about what the future holds."
