ALERT: 51% Rule

 

 

UPDATE 9 October 2009:  The FAA this week released the long-awaited final order that revises the amateur-built aircraft certification policy known as the 51 percent rule as well as Advisory Circular 20-27G, the guide for amateur builders on how to properly certify every step of the building process. Our aircraft kits exceed both the old and new FAA 51% rule requirements by a wide margin. The final FAA references can be found here:  http://www.faa.gov/documentLibrary/media/Order/8130.2F%20Ch%204.pdf and http://www.faa.gov/documentLibrary/media/Advisory_Circular/AC%2020-27G.pdf
