Actually Darryl, Pat is partially correct. I know JJ can attest to
this.
The operating limitations are assembled and printed during the final
inspection by a FSDO representative. Although there is a boilerplate
example of the operating limitations document in the computer they use
in the field, the actual construction of the document you will be
branded with is subject to modification by that very same FSDO
representative. In every case we had a bit of a negotiation on what
paragraphs would be included in my aircraft's document.

At this moment I own two gliders with Experimental Certificates. Both
were originally registered within a year of each other. Both
documents are significantly different in specifying the conditions
underwhich I may fly outside of the 300nm circle and both are
different in specifying when a FAX needs to be sent when intending to
fly outside of that 300nm circle. My first glider got its
experimental certificate before 1998 and it had no requirement to
notify the receiving FSDO. So every aircraft experimental certificate
operating limitations can be slightly different than others even if
they were certificated at about the same time from the same FSDO
office.

Still, the ability to make modifications without all the paperwork and
hassel involved with the Standard Certificate makes sending FAXes a
breeze.

Bye the way, I had the new manditory ramp inspections done on both my
planes on the same day by the same inspector just a couple months
ago. The operating limitations for both planes are different and the
inspector had a difficult time explaining to me the exact limitations
I had to flying outside of the 300nm circle for each plane. He read
the documents over and over and came to a slightly different
conclusion each time he read through them. THere are just so many
ways to interpret the meaning of those boilerplate sentences and
phrases that are in those documents that even the very experienced
FSDO rep kept contradicting himself.
