Interviews with Brian & Carol Carpenter

Brian & Carol Carpenter, Rainbow Aviation Services
We missed out on the Carpenters' report on some good news last week so we try again this week. They just submitted the weight shift module for the Light Sport Aircraft Repairman Course to the FAA for acceptance. On top of that, they're in the process of putting the finishing touches on the module for powered parachutes. Both modules are scheduled to be offered at the end of October. Brian and Carol talk about these very unique courses and what's included in them. Rainbow Aviation (8/22/06)

Brian & Carol Carpenter, Rainbow Aviation Services
The Carpenters talk about their 120 Hour Repairman Course for Light Sport Aircraft (Airplanes and Trikes). While the course hasn't been accepted yet, the plans to hold the first course are on for March. We talk with them to learn what this course entails, who is attending the course, and what this course authorizes the graduates to do. We also talk to them about their first powered parachute 16 hour course that they are taking on the road to Lincoln, Nebraska. Rainbow Aviation (2/7/06)

Brian & Carol Carpenter, Rainbow Aviation
Brian and Carol Carpenter are getting ready accomplish yet another aviation first. They are offering the very first 16 hour owner inspection course for trikes. They join us to talk about the course, how it was developed, and who should be interested in taking it. Rainbow Aviation (10/25/05)

Brian & Carol Carpenter, Rainbow Aviation
Since we last visited with the Carpenters, they have accomplished even more for the sport. They have a new book out, their Sport Pilot Airplane book. They've conducted their 16 hour condition inspection course for E-LSA airplane owners. They are also getting ready to do a 16 hour course for trike owners. Brian and Carol fill us in on what has been a busy schedule. Rainbow Aviation (9/13/05)

Brian & Carol Carpenter, Rainbow Aviation
The Carpenters have done something that no other sport aviation school has done. They have created an FAA approved program for the 16 hour condition inspection course for E-LSA owners. Their achievement becomes most apparent when you realize that only they and the EAA have gotten programs approved so far. Brian and Carol join us to tell us how they did it. Rainbow Aviation (6/14/05)

Brian & Carol Carpenter, Rainbow Aviation
Brian & Carol collaborated on the writing of a new book for ultralight pilots. A Professional Approach to Ultralights offers 256 pages of plain-spoken, real world, ultralight-specific information based on over 25 years of experience. You'll discover invaluable strategies, tips, and an overall guiding philosophy in the purchase, maintenance, and operation of your ultralight that will stretch your spending power and create a safer flight environment. Brian & Carol both join us to talk about their flying operation and the book. www.rainbowaviation.com (5/18/04)
