Experimental Instrument Rated?

Yah... as I understand it, experimental certified aircraft can do
everything a normal/utility certified aircraft can do except:

carry people for hire.

Check out the EAA site for more details...

That didn't make much sense to me, but then again I am
the student and he is the instructor.


Your instructor is F. O. S.

That's not quite right. It's mostly right for "Experimental--Amateur Built."
There are some vague additional restrictions like flights in congested airways
(nobody has ever explained to me what a congested airway is, other than perhaps
the segment between Ripon and OSH during Airventure, which wouldn't be so
congested if they got rid of the homebuilts).

Other types of experimental certification typically have more restrictive limitations.
(Like no unnecessary passengers at all).
