The FAA said that amateur-built aircraft that received an airworthiness certificate before May 28, 1998, and have authorization to take off and land over densely populated areas continue to have authorization to fly over those areas for "en route operations." Amateur-built aircraft receiving airworthiness certificates after May 28, 1998, may fly over populated areas if the aircraft has no hazardous operating characteristics or design features, and the aircraft is controllable throughout its normal range of speeds. <<< >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> LML homepage: http://www.olsusa.com/Users/Mkaye/maillist.html
