I haven't researched it since the actual changes in the FARs so you

s.

Since the transitioned two-seat ultralights get the same ELSA certific

the kit-built machines, I can't see how they could allow one type of E
LSA to be
rented and not the other. But I think that's the reason for the 2010
expiration
date; to allow the two-seat UL trainers to continue in their present o
perations
for a reasonable amount of time.


It's hidden in the operation limitations that the DAR puts on the
plane. The factory ELSA have different limitations which do not allow
training. Transition ultralights have training included in their
operational limitations but their registration expires in 2010. At
that time they must register all over agian. The new operational
limitations will not include training.
