Sabrina 0-200A engine from Sabrina Aircraft Manufacturing

Shure glad she is from Chicago area. It will knock out a little wind
out of Mayor Daily's mad campaign against GA. Now he is against
budding youth accomplishments.

My guess is that Sabrina Spacecraft Manufacturing will have interplanetary
spaceships available in a decade or two.



Met her at OSH last year at the Young Eagles awards ceremony. Sharp kid for sure with many supporters...

I was wondering that same thing!

I don't get this statement:

Can someone explain?

Gig mentions how she seems to have done this in a post elsewhere on this
thread. As best I can tell, she used the E-LSA rules that ended on Jan 31
of this year that allowed illegal "fat ultralights" to be registered under
that status. Note that her plane is still considered experimental, but it
seems there is no "amateur built" in the FAA's designation (EAB vs ELSA). I
suspect it has pretty much the same operating limitations. Bottom line is
it doesn't seem to mean much.

IMHO building an aircraft is an impressive accomplishment for any
human being -- but at 14 and a girl to boot it's really over the top.
I have never heard of something like that. It didn't seem like her
parents were pushing her on it, either. She's just really motivated.

The youtube video is cool -- can one be a certified pilot in Canada at
14 or is that a reporting error?

I hope her story will inspire other young girls (and boys) to do cool
stuff in aviation.

According to Canadian regs, she'd have to be at least 14 to get a
student pilot permit:

This page has links to the minimum qualifications in Canada for the various
permits and certificates:

I did and it is under the (special that ended 1/31/08) E-LSA rules and
I can't find anything to counter that in the rules. As far as I'm
concerned it's a real bad idea from a liability standpoint. I told her
that in an e-mail right after I told her that I thought she was an
amazing young lady.

Yep. Driven, and full of life!

I have a feeling that she is highly supported by her dad, and that they are
not hurting for money, much. ;-)

She must do most of her flying in Canada, so it reads.

There are times like these, that make me want to see some flexibility in the
age rules for getting your ticket. It sure would seem like she is ready for
an FAA one.

She got her AW certificate under the E-LSA rules not the E-HB rules. In
what was probably an oversight on the FAAs part there is no requirement
for the standard disclaimer to appear.

These rule apply long term to aircraft that are produced from kits that
EXACTLY match an aircraft built under the less stringent (than certified
aircraft) LSA standards. Her particular plane, since it is from a kit
that doesn't exactly match a LSA would not normally qualify. But there
was an exemption to get the fat ultralight into the system that expired
1/31/08 and she got her AW cert under that.

What I don't understand is what she means by being allowed to remove the
warning. The only thing I can think is that she put it on there and they
told her or she found out that it wasn't required.

What a refreshing story. Wish I was like that at her age. You go

Anybody have her email addy or more information on the spacecraft
claim? Someone added a wikipedia piece at
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?...ldid=191567543
. I'm not sure how confident I am in the claim that she will make her
own spacecraft by 2018, especially after reading some of the comments
here regarding her not actually designing the aircraft. I don't want
to cast any doubt on her abilities, but intelligent or not, it's hard
to believe she'll fly to mars in a craft of her own design by age 24.
