Posted: Wed May 17, 2006 4:19 pm Post subject: Question for the CFI's in the group

My wife has expressed some interest in learning to fly in our RV-9, once

it is finished.

 

Recently I had a CFI tell me that she can not get all of her instruction

in an airplane certified in the Experimental category.

 

This goes against everything I have ever heard before.

 

Is this true or was the CFI who told me this mistaken?

 

Thanks for the info.

All I know is it would be hard to solo her for insurance purposes.  You =

might ask Randy Utsy, he is a CFI.

Maybe she should see it fly and then decide

According to FarAim 61.45 a-2,  it looks like its up to the examiner as to 

weather the experimental aircraft can be used for the checkride.  I think 

all of the training can be accomplished in the experimental but I will call 

the FSDO people to ask about the checkride.

Randy,



I am a CFI and it is my understanding that you or your wife can receive all 

of your training in your own experimental aircraft. The way the regs read, 

you can use the aircraft for any "non-commercial" purpose. So, as long as 

the activity generates no profit, you should be good to go. In my opinion 

the check-ride would also be okay, as the examiner is charging for his time 

and not the aircraft.
