An excerpt from the Operating Limitations for the Exhibition and Air Racing
Airworthiness Certificate for my Experimental glider has the following wording: 31. All proficiency/practice flights must be conducted within the geographical area described in the applicant's program letter and any amendments to that letter, but no portion of that area will be more than 300 nautical miles from the aircraft's home base airport. An exception is permitted for proficiency flying outside of the area stated above for organized formation flying, training, or pilot checkout in conjunction with a specific event listed in the applicant's program letter (or amendments). The program letter should indicate the location and dates for this proficiency flying. 35. Proficiency flights are authorized without geographical restrictions when conducted in preparation for participation in sanctioned meets and pursuant to qualify for Federal Aeronautique International (FAI) or Soaring Society of America (SSA) awards. These flights may only take place as defined in the applicant's program letter, and prior to the specific FAI or SSA event. The pilot in command must submit a description of the intended route and/or geographical area intended to be flown to the local FSDO. If my home base airport was in Texas and I wanted to fly in, say, the Denver area or at Minden, would it be "legal" to send in an amendment to my program letter saying I was going to make a badge attempt and needed to practice beforehand (referencing the SSA award exclusion in paragraph 35)? If I already had a Silver or Gold badge, would I be allowed to practice for a second one? Has anyone in a similar situation figured out some good language or a loophole that would allow me to fly outside my 300 mile limit? Please limit your answers to "You're Screwed" or something constructive. |
