Looking for fellow E-LSA aircraft owners who are interested in taking the Repairman Inspection Course.  FAA regulation §65.107 allows the owner of an Experimental Light-Sport Aircraft to earn a Repairman (LSA) Inspection rating by attending an FAA accepted course. Successful completion of the course allows you to perform the annual condition inspection on any Experimental Light Sport Airplane you own. The course is 16 hours in length starting on Friday evening and ending on Sunday afternoon. Students must be in attendance for the entire length of the class. See Course Outline & Other Details.

Aircrafters has offered their space and the instructors will come to WVI, but we have to sign up 12 students. The first step is to get a list of interested parties so we can work on a date, hopefully in the next few months.  If you would like to take this course locally,  send an e-mail to Blade Doyle (EAA UL110) who is compiling the list.
