<<FAA memorandum.pdf>> <<EAA p10 Sep 05.pdf>>

I was handed the attached memorandum by the Seattle MIDO last week.

Also is page 10 from Sept 2005 Sport Aviation.

My reading of this is that Lancair Kit company, RV and probably all the current fast build kit companies will not be in compliance. (Maybe this has already gone into effect—man I hope not!!

Sounds like this memo was written directly addressing the Epic situation. Those folks have really pushed the envelope of amature-built and the envelope pushed back. The FAA are reviewing the world of "complex" kits and stated specifically pressurized, turbine-powered, and 5 or more seats. Even with 2 jump seats my ES-P would not be covered and a PT would not either. Come to think of it - SpaceShip One would not fall into the FAA's definition of complex!
