|
|
I am considering the purchase of a Cubcrafters Super Light Sport Cub and plan to exchange the SLSA certificate for an ELSA certificate at the factory on delivery of the aircraft.
I am a private, instrument, multi rated pilot with 5500 hours and no medical.
Will the ELSA certificate make insurance more expensive or can I even obtain insurance? :?: |

| Why do you want to register the Cub as an ELSA? |

The maintenance rules are much more forgiving. Anyone can work on an ELSA (not that you want anyone working on one), and with a 16hour course you can be certified to perform the annual condition inspection on your ELSA.
Those are the only reasons I can think of, maybe he has others.... |

how about anyone can work on an esla as long as they are the builder? |

Anyone can work on an Experimental Amateur Built (E-AB) or ELSA.
The difference between the two is who can sign off the annual. In the case of E-AB only the original builder or A&P can, with ELSA you (the owner) can take a 16hr course and be allowed to sign off on the annual.
Also E-AB requires the builder to build 51% or more of the aircraft while ELSA does not have this requirement. |

| With the 16 hour course I thought you can only do your own plane? |

Yes, really.
E-LSA is no different than any of the other experimentals.
There never was a requirement to "build" an experimental, to be allowed to perform maintenance on it. All experimentals are the same. Anyone can maintain/repair them. No rating required, and you never had to be "the builder".
(Yes, a rating of some sort, is required to perform the required annual/100 hour inspections) |

Insurance should be available ELSA or SLSA. The qualifying factors will be your experience in tailwheel airplanes. If you'd like ot get a quote with no obligations you could contact the EAA Aircraft Insurance Plan at www.eaaainsurance.org and submit an online quote request.
