Extensions operating
and on-site conversions available at AirVenture 2004
The Experimental Aircraft Association has obtained an agreement
with the Federal Aviation Administration that allows pilots of U.S.
and non-U.S. surplus military aircraft and certain turbine-powered
experimental amateur-built/experimental exhibition aircraft to
operate beyond the July 31 deadline for Letters of Authorization
(LOA) and Letters of Operational Authority (LOOA) under certain
specific circumstances. As EAA announced in April, in order to
continue exercising the privileges of their LOA/LOOA, pilots must
exchange them for new airman certificates by July 31, 2004.
However, some pilots who sent their materials to the FAA have not
yet received their certificates due to internal administrative
issues.
EAA's agreement with the FAA states pilots who have proof they
submitted their materials (registered mail, FedEx, UPS receipt,
etc.) prior to the July 31 application deadline may continue to
operate for up to 90 days beyond the July 31 deadline, as their
application packages are processed and new airman certificates are
mailed. Pilots must have proof of their old LOA/LOOA to
continue to operate beyond the July 31, 2004 deadline.
Materials may be sent to:
Federal Aviation Administration
Flight Standards Technical Programs Branch, AGL-230
Attn: Ed Tobin
2300 East Devon Avenue
Des Plaines, IL 60018
Pilots whose temporary certificates are due to expire in the
near future may reapply for replacement certificates to extend
their validity. Proof of reapplication should also be retained.
Affected pilots who plan to attend EAA AirVenture Oshkosh, July
27-August 2, will be able to complete their LOA-LOOA conversion on
the convention grounds on Wednesday, July 28, and Thursday, July
29, at the Warbirds Aircraft Registration Building from 9 a.m.-noon
and 1-4 p.m. on both days. Those wanting to convert their
certificates at AirVenture must bring their full application
package with them to the event.
