Ran across a great Clipped Wing Cub, but found its Classification/Category is Experimental/Exhibition. Are the operating limitations different for each plane categorized as Exhibition or are all the limitations identical for all planes in this Category?
A few of the limitations I have read for this particular Cub state the following:
1) No person may operate this aircraft for other than the purpose of which the special purpose airworthiness certificate was issued and the aircraft shall be operated in accordance with the applicable FAA Air Traffic and General Operation Rules.
Question: What does this mean?
2) No operations shall be conducted over densely populated areas or in congested airways for takeoffs and landings.
Question: Does this limit the Cub from flying into airports with controlled towers with normal traffic? Does it limit the Cub from flying into non-controlled airport near a small city?
3) Operator shall notify the control tower of the experimental nature of this aircraft when operating into or out of airports with operating control towers.
Question: What do you say to the tower?
4) Placards - No problem with this one.
5) Compensation for hire - No problem with this one.
6) This one not worth listing.
7) Something about major change....
8. This aircraft does not comply with the Airworthiness Standards of ICAO Annex, Part II; therefore, flights are not authorized over foregn countries. Special permission must be obtained from foreign countries to conduct flights over their territories.
Question: Does this create a problem with flying into Canada? How difficult is it to get permission with Experimental/Exhibition classification?
9) This one is crossed out about requiring a 5 mile limit from airport.
Question: So this is good. The exhibition limitation is lifted?
10) No person shall operate this aircraft unless within the preceding 12 calendar months it has had a condition inspection performed in accordance with Apendix D of Part 43 and found to be safe operation.
Question: This is just an annual correct?
Mr. citabrickr thanks for all the information on this classification...
