It is widely believed that there is systematic abuse of the rule by some builders who employ businesses and individuals to complete much more than 49% of their aircraft, then falsify FAA Form 8130-12, Eligibility Statement for Amateur-Built Aircraft. FAA has formed an Aviation Rulemaking Committee (ARC) to study the situation and make recommendations regarding the rule. You can read the ARC charter here: http://www.airweb.faa.gov/Regulatory_and_Guidance_Library/rgOrders.nsf/0/efe 4866385f304a0862571b800535d7a/$FILE/Order1110.143.pdf As a builder's assistant and a member of the committee, I am interested in your opinions. I am posting this message to a number of experimental aircraft forums in the hope of developing some kind of consensus to bring to the next meeting. I would ask that you make whatever comments you feel are relevant to the forums, but in an attempt to develop a consensus, I'm also asking for a show of hands: please email me at Dave@AirCraftersLLC.com with your comments, and if possible summarize your thinking in the subject line as either "Keep 51% As Is" or "Allow More Builder Assistance". I understand there is currently a HUGE gray area in between. Also, if you care to post this note to other forums please feel free-I'll do my best to keep up with the traffic. I look forward to your responses. Dave Saylor AirCrafters LLC ------=_NextPart_000_0001_01C6D847.15D9A2E0 Content-Type: text/html; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
