Tracking thread for Op Lim updates and new Light sport certs

WOW!

It's totally up to the inspector as to whether he/she wants to do an inspection. It IS unusual in this case.

I agree completely with Scott on the Ops Lims and AWC.

Of interest, however, I got a noe from a fellow whose Kitfox I inspected and certificated a month or two ago He is applying for his Repairman Certificate, adn the FSDO aid that they needed to come out and inspect the airplane again as part of the Repairman’s Certificat eprocess. I am not familiar with the guidance related to that, but had not heard of it before - maybe something has changed in their guidance… but this is from the same FSDO (Vegas) that keeps passing out my name as Nevada’s only DAR - but they are telling folks that I can issue all sorts of things that I don’t have the function codes for. Methinks there is some learning that needs to be done at the FSDO.

That’s really weird.
Seems to me that someone could get a Repairman’s Certificate without even owning an airplane (just couldn’t work on one until they did (for a LSR-I)).
Sounds like the FSDO is a bit confused.

The Repairman’s Certificate is good for any AB EXP you own or will own. Will they come out every time you purchase another EAB aircraft?

This reads like people whispering a secret down a line and the story changes each time.

My above statement is not true.... I was thinking of LSR-I.

I need to make a correction here.... Starting with this post... https://vansairforce.net/threads/tr...-light-sport-certs.239749/page-3#post-1935190
I thought the the Kitfox owner was asking for his LSR-I cert...... He was asking for his repairmen's cert after building his RV. Paul did the inspection and the paperwork.... FSDO missed this fact, is my guess.
