Mark your calendars now!

 

EAA Chapter 42 has agreed to make the April 2008 meeting about Sport Pilot information. See their webpage at: www.eaa42.org  

 This meeting will be an informational workshop to get anyone who wants to register and get their UL air vehicles an airworthiness inspection and transition to the (Experimental) Light Sport Aircraft category.

 The deadline is less than a year away to do this and the paperwork will slow down as you get closer to Jan. 2008.

 EAA Transition to ELSA kits will be sold at the meeting. These are very helpful and contain all the required forms from the FAA, as well as stickers, and instructions on how to fill out all the forms correctly.

 Weight and balance information for an Antares MA-33 R582, as well as the operation limitations and transition paperwork will be on hand for you to take with you.

 FAA officials will be on hand to answer questions. Please attend as the deadline for accomplishing this is Jan. 31, 2008.

 Don't wait until the last minute, or month to do this as the DAR, John Davis does not do inspections on a regular basis, he also works for JAL. John wants all paperwork complete before he will inspect your aircraft.

 Refreshments will be served, and membership information about the Chapter and EAA will be on hand for you to join if you are not already a member. The folks at these meetings are both friendly and helpful and have been a fun group to get to know!

 They want to help all of us to get back in the air…legally!

 See you there. Keep flying!
