Greetings,
Sorry for the off topic
question, but I'm trying to figure out if my DAR is screwing up the operating
limitations that he's been issuing.
If you received an
airworthiness certificate in the last year or so, would you look and see if you
have one, or both of these items:
(17) The pilot in command
of this aircraft must hold an appropriate category/class rating. If required,
the pilot in command also must hold a type rating in accordance with part 61, or
a letter of authorization issued by an FAA Flight Standards Operations
Inspector.
(18) The pilot in command
of this aircraft must hold a pilot certificate or an authorized instructor’s
logbook endorsement. The pilot in command also must meet the requirements of §
61.31(e), (f), (g), (h), (i), and (j), as appropriate.
My DAR has been including
both, but from what another DAR said, the first applies to turbojet and turbofan
aircraft over 12,500 lbs, and item 18 applies to most exp
aircraft. If that's true, you should only have one or the
other. Item 17 is what's causing me to get a SP category/class rating
for my gyroplane, but now I find out that it isn't supposed to be
there.
Please just reply to
me directly, rather than cluttering up the list
with replies.
Thanks,
Rusty (getting back to
the single rotor soon)
