It's not to "experimental" status, but to "Owner-Maintenance" status.
The U.S. has nothing like it. Their homebuilts are registered as
"experimental," and in Canada homebuilts are in the "Amateur-built"

the world to *competently* regulate for private ownership of aircraft.

were australia to adopt their legislative style they would be the
third (I think) country to get this neglected area of legislation
right.

(the south africans have something similar I think though I've never
seen the actual legislation. merely anecdotal first hand commentary on
the benefits it has achieved )

the canadian texts are all available on line.
