Sue Gardner, Federal Aviation Administration
Part 2 of Sue Gardner's interview regarding the implementation schedule for Sport Pilot. She talks about the infrastructure being put in place for people that want to conduct operations and seek certification under the new regulations. To follow along as we go over the schedule for implementation, visit the link: Sport Pilot Milestones. We also take a couple of questions from the audience. (Part 2) (9/28/04)
1. What are the Milestones for implementation of the final rule?
The FAA will post an implementation plan for the rule on the FAA Sport Pilot and Light-Sport Aircraft Website, http://www.faa.gov/avr/afs/sportpilot or http://AFS600.faa.gov. The plan will contain milestones for completion of the specific guidance, policy, and infrastructure necessary for the public to conduct operations and seek certification under the new regulations.
Below are some of the major milestones.
September 1, 2004 -- Effective Date of Rule
An FAA certificated pilot can exercise sport pilot privileges while operating an FAA certificated aircraft that meets the definition of a light-sport aircraft. That pilot can use either a valid third class medical or a current and valid U.S Drivers license to meet the medical eligibility requirements.
October 2004
- Unregistered/un-certificated transitioning ultralight-like aircraft can apply for an “N” Number (Aircraft Registration).
- Practical Test Standards and Knowledge Tests Available to the Public
- Guidelines for Repairman Training Available to the Public
- DPE and DAR Applications will be accepted by FAA
November 2004
- First FAA DAR Training Course
January 2005
- FAA Ready to Issue:
- First Sport Pilot Certificate
- First Sport Pilot CFI Certificate
- First Private Pilot WSC and PPC ratings
- Accept applications for additional category and class privileges
- First ELSA Certificate
- First SLSA Certificate
- First Light-sport Repairman Certificate
- First FAA DPE Training Course
February 2005
- DAR and DPE courses as needed
- Education focusing on Sport Pilot Flight Instructor privileges and responsibilities; registering and maintaining light sport aircraft.
2. When will the FAA be ready to begin accepting applications and issuing new airman certificates or new airworthiness certificates under this rule?
Airman:
Beginning January 15, 2005
- The FAA will accept applications, FAA Form 8710-11, for a student pilot seeking a sport pilot certificate, sport pilot certificate, flight instructor certificate with a sport pilot rating, and FAA Form 8610-1, for a repairman (light-sport aircraft) certificate. Additionally, the FAA will begin processing applications, FAA Form 8710-11, for additional sport pilot or sport pilot CFI category or class privileges. Applications, FAA Form 8710-11, for the new Private Pilot certificates with a weight-shift control or powered parachute ratings will also be accepted after this date.
- The new FAA Form 8710-11, Airman Application and/or Rating – Sport Pilot, will not be made public until January 15, 2005.
- FAA Form 8610-1 is currently available, but the policy for the repairman (light-sport aircraft) to complete the application is not. The FAA will not accept any applications for this new repairman certificate that are submitted prior to this date.
Aircraft:
Beginning October 15, 2004
- The FAA will accept AC Form 8050-1, Aircraft Registration Form and FAA Form 8050-88A, Affidavit Of Ownership, to register the transitioning ultralight-like aircraft and two-place training vehicles that have never been certificated, [ELSA under the provisions of 21.191(i)(1)], the new kit-built LSA [ELSA under the provisions of 21.191(i)(2)], or the newly manufactured LSA that will meet the consensus standards [SLSA under the provisions of 21.190]
