Default Experimental Catagory: Pros and Cons?

Andy,

That's what I thought - my LS6's Operating Limitations does not have
any requirement for a program letter, and very liberal limits. So it
seems to be up to the local FAA dude to impose program requirements on
new gliders.

I was curious if any of the new requirements were codified in the
"FARs", or were imposed via internal FAA "guidelines".

Tom Knauff says he has picked up a contract to train FAA examiners -
let's hope he can explain to them that the program letters are pretty
much useless.

Good thing my Ops limit letter doesn't have an expiration date!
