Michael Huffman, Sport Aviation Specialties
Michael Huffman is getting ready for a trip to Maine where he will be teaching the 16 Hour Light Sport Aircraft Repairman Course a couple of times.

Edsel Ford, FAA Light Sport Aviation Branch
Van Stumpner, FAA Light Sport Aviation Branch
Edsel Ford and Van Stumpner talk with us about the long-awaited change to Order 8130.2F. Big changes have to do with the operating limitations that apply to Experimental Light Sport Aircraft. Until now, if you got an airworthiness certificate under the previous version of the order, you would not be able to fly your E-LSA aircraft over congested areas or at night. This change allows those operations. Edsel and Van tell us how the change works and how to take advantage of the new operating limitations even if you have an N-number aircraft with the old version of the limitations. Light Sport Aviation Branch (Part 2) (7/18/06)

Ronnie talks with us about trouble-shooting the trouble-shooting tools. How to determine if the unusual readings coming from your engine gauges have to do with a problem with the engine or with the gauge itself. Ronnie also fields a listener question about quality of fuel needed for high altitude flight. Ronnie can also answer your four stroke and two stroke ultralight aircraft engine questions. Do you have questions? When the show is live, call your questions in at (888) 514-2100 or you can IM them in on AOL or Yahoo Instant Messenger to UFRadio. South Mississippi Light Aircraft (7/18/06)

Jim Sweeney, USUA and NAPPF Board Member
Now that we are realistically able to look at the opportunities to fly Light Sport Aircraft over congested areas, we talk with Jim Sweeney about the rules regarding flying over town. Federal Aviation Rule (FAR) 91.119 is the pertinent rule and Jim talks about how it applies to sport pilots flying light sport aircraft. SweeneyCorp, USUA, NAPPF (7/18/06)
