I guess in a " I can't believe this weight creep sort of way." It originally started with the 495 pound exemption (FAR
103) that was issued for the two seat ultralight trainers. Now it's up to 1680.
Where does it stop?
It isn't funny to me. This weight creep has decimated the lighter classes that previously operated with few restrictions. As the weight creeps up, the rules get tougher. I wanted to participate with new entries in the light end. That seems impossible now.
What exemption language are you referring to?
p.s might not see your reply for a while, leaving for Oshkosh in a few hours.
