Subject: Pietenpol-List: My cousin's LSAI need some advice. My cousin bought an avid sport ELSA. Nice little plane. Heintends on learning to fly in it.The guy who he has selected to teach him is requireing that he have the plane annualled.(it was annualed about a month ago by the buildier.) and that he havefull coverage on insureance. My cousin has not found anyone ready to insurehim. He has 10 hours 20 years ago. My cousin has been told that he has to getan FCC liscence. is this a for the radio or him?I told him to ask the instructor why he needed a new annual. The plane is legal.Why and what kind of insurance is the instructor requiring? I told him to approachthe EAA about insurance. Also I don't think he requires a FCC ticket. Maybethey are talking about the radio itself, but he has sent it back to the MFGRfor an update and they should provide that.

Hello,If the aircraft is over 100 hours since last inspection he will need a100 hour inspection, if it is out of annual he will need that too. He should look at his Operation limitations and make sure that the specsread the aircraft can be used for instruction. Also if he has"unlimited" on his airworthiness certificate. If not he needs to go tohis local FSDO and get a new one issued (SEE EAA.ORG on Sport PilotIssues) if he doesn't get it changed by Jan. 31, 2010 (this month) hewill have a lawn ornament that can't be legally flown.He does not need to get an FCC license if he gets a Sport Pilot studentpilot license or a standard category student pilot license from hislocal FSDO. The insurance is always an issue depending on where you live, type ofaircraft, and where your practice area is as well as if, on/off airportlandings are allowed.Sounds to me like the CFI is requiring these things to make sure he andthe aircraft are certain to continue.RSRob Stapleton, Advanced Ground InstructorAnchorage, AK(907) 230-9425KL2ANSkype:rob.stapleton.jr-----Original Message-----

Subject: Re: RE: Pietenpol-List: My cousin's LSAThanks for the info guys. OK more on My cousin's LSA (Avid Flyer) The instructor has an IA lined up to inspectit for $100, just to insure that it is airworthy. This instructor says,"our mechanic needs to look it over, the seller may have just filled out the log."Sounds reasonable to me.The instructor simply suggests insurance. He is not insisting. My wants to insureit. He is currently towing it around and is worried about damage "in tow."I am having him check with AOPA and EAA. Any suggestions are appreciated. The radio itself is what needs the FCC ticket. and that comes from the manufacturer.I am going to push him about the airworthyness certificate. He is 400 miles northof here so I am doing it by email.
