Pitts Certification
I have a recently bought Pitts S1-C and I am trying to get its new
airworthiness certificate since the one it had became void at the change of ownership. The FAA, however, wants a letter stating that the S1-C is an aerobatic airplane which seems like complete bull to me. I'm wondering where I could get such a thing and who they would accept as an authority on the subject. any help would be appreciated. |

Yours is not the first S-1C on the registry - click on: http://162.58.35.241/acdatabase/acmain.htm and enter Pitts for Manufacturer, and S-1C for model. I found 55 Pitts S-1C's (amateur built) already on the registry, like N30125, N11BP, etc. They have an FAA Manufacturer/Model code of 72202XX where XX are two letters which appear to designate which engine is installed. You didn't say what engine you have installed, so I couldn't figure out the value of XX for you. Just refer the FAA to it's own paperwork - presumably, it will find it to be acceptable :-) -- ATP http://www.pittspecials.com/images/oz_inv.jpg |

The C of A is not affected by a change of ownership. It goes with the
aircraft and does not expire. Are you trying to register the a/c in our name or something else ? "moby" wrote in message ...
