I have my new Sparrow Hawk

Block A reads: "CATEGORY/PURPOSE Experimental"
"PURPOSE Operating Amateur-Built Aircraft (Glider)

A typewriter was used to enter the data on the certificate. Maybe the
entries are not as standardized as we would assume.

Yeah, maybe not very standardized - but the word glider is there. The Order
also says if it's a balloon, it should have the word Balloon in
parentheses - apparently this annotation of type on the Special
Airworthiness Certificate is to help the FAA to know that no medical is
needed (!!??) - at least that's what it says in the Order. There will
certainly be differences between Special Airworthiness Certificates typed up
before 1993 and after 1993 - quite a change in the guidance that year.

On another note, I saw a notice in the Federal Register last Friday -
actually a Final Rule - that says if one does not print or type one's name
on the temporary registration certificate as required by the rule,
instructions, order, guidance, etc. - then the registration certificate will
not be processed and then one would be in a heap o' trouble. It appears one
must sign the form with your signature AND print or type your name on the
form.

Hard to believe they had to go to the Federal Register on this one!! If you
get bored with RAS, you can always read the FR for fun, or maybe load up Dr.
Jacks and pray for a change in the forecast. If you really want to have some
fun, go find the FAR Preambles on the web and read the true meaning of
towing an ultralight, it's kinda fun - but very difficult to find.

Back to sanding wing tips now...

Jeez... I didn't think anyone was really interested in reading this stuff!

Just google GPO for the Federal Register, and you can get the 8130.2E at
faa.gov.

Just re-finishing the 22.9m tips - something to do in the evenings
before I put myself to sleep reading rules. Not that I would use them
for anything. (the rules or the tips ;-)
