US:Restricted Towplanes
As many soaring operators have learned in recent months,
current FAA policy allows existing Restricted Category tow planes to remain in service, but any newly-acquired tow plane must be certificated in Normal category. THIS APPLIES TO MANY/MOST PAWNEES!! In the Federal Register of November 2, 2004, FAA now proposes to grant SSA’s petition seeking the recognition of glider towing as an approved use for Restricted Category aircraft. This proposal would amend FAA policy, enabling glider towing to be considered a “special use” under 14 CFR 21.25(b)(7), as an “operation specified by the Administrator.” The FAA proposal is open for public comment through November 30 and is available online at the Federal Register: http://www.gpoaccess.gov/fr/advanced.html Search ON the date 11/2/2004 and use the keyword 'restricted' By tomorrow, the SSA website will have links to this document as well as the petition SSA filed to secure this important provision to keep appropriate tow planes available to US soaring sites.

Judy,
Thank you for your tireless and never-ending fights on regulatory issues. I don't know if you have a 'tip jar,' but I'm dropping a small donation in the mail addressed to the SSA tomorrow. My contribution to their (our) funding is the only way I can really say 'THANK YOU' for your work. Just one question: How do you have time for governmental issues and badges??? :-) Ray Lovinggood Carrboro, North Carolina, USA At 23:42 03 November 2004, Judy Ruprecht wrote: As many soaring operators have learned in recent months, current FAA policy allows existing Restricted Category tow planes to remain in service, but any newly-acquired tow plane must be certificated in Normal category.
