Posted: Mon Jan 05, 2009 12:37 pm Post subject: Importing a Europa to the USA

I am looking to import my UK based Europa to the USA. I know there will be a “right way” to do this, and wonder if anyone can provide any advice?  

   

Any advice and information anyone may have on shipping to the USA; any suggested port to ship to; what has to be done to the aircraft from an FAA perspective to make the aircraft legal in the USA; and anything anyone can think of to help me in this process would be extremely useful.  

   

I have not yet contacted the local FAA office yet, I thought I would try and find out as much as possible that I could first.

Robert,



I'd suggest you contact the Experimental Aircraft Association ( http://eaa.org/ ).  I'm sure someone there could provide you the information you need.



If you have any difficulty contacting anyone there let me know and I'll see if I can find the right answers.



Is there a time schedule for this transfer?



Best regards,

Bob Borger

Robert,  

   

Recommend you contact Alan Burrows, he took his Europa to the USA a year or two ago.  I think he still watches this list.

Robert,



Your fellow Brit, Alan Burrows, made the big move a couple years ago; 

I'm sure he would be a good resource...not sure of his email and he 

hasn't been posting lately, but I 'spect others could put you in touch 

with him.

Hey Robert C I just called the local FAA DAR in the north Denver area C Terry Edwards and he says no problem.  Just

 get it here any way you can and he will just run it as a new US registered experimental with a US N#.  He will do 

 the inspection and you will get a new US airworthiness statement with a temporary flight limitation just like all new

 US built experimentals receive C fly off the 40 hours and your'e good to go.  You will not be able to carry passengers during this 40 hrs.  Cost $450.00 US.  There will be no further inspections except the annual condition inspection C usually around $150. You can call Terry yourself 303-817-3745.  Very nice fellow.
