PA-32 on Experimental Certificate
I just ran an FAA database check on a Cherokee Six that I'm interested
in, and it came back showing that the plane is on a Experimental Certificate. The purpose is shown as 'Compliance with CFR / Research and Development'. How, if at all, should this impact any purchasing decision with respect to the plane? Will it make it harder or more costly to insure? Will it result in operating restrictions? Will it effect the value? Could the plane be converted back to a standard certificate? Sorry for so many questions, but I don't have any experience of production aircraft on experimental certificates, so any comments or advice would be most welcome...

As long as it is converted back to the certificated state prior to the sale, it is just another Cherokee Six. It could be something as simple as an engine mod, prototype prop, instruments, anything that takes it out of the certified rhelm. If it stayes in Experimental, you could have problems.

My company will NOT support (that means approve my use and reimburse my
costs) my flying anything except a Standard AW Cert. aircraft. I'd love to latch on to a Long-EZ or just about any of Rutan's other designs, but without them being in the Standard category, I'm sunk. -- Jim Carter "Mike Granby" wrote in message om...
