speedcanard_at Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 Hi Folks, does anybody know, how I could get a Speed Canard on US register, if it is not within the necessary Serial-Number range, which is necessary iaw its US -TCDS. The US-TCDS requires Speed Canards to be above S/N 60 to be eligible for US register, due to several design changes. SC01 below S/N 60 has several different design issues such as different Canard attachment, lightning protection etc. Is there anyone operating a SC01 in US below S/N 60? Please reply! Best regards, fly safe!! Gerhard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WRyan Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 Hello Gerhard, I acquired a Speed Canard SC01 with a number under 60 about four years ago. It is a terrific aircraft and, as you probably know,the entire manufacturing run is certificated in Germany, Switzerland, Australia,Taiwan, etc, but the lower numbers are not certificated in the U.S. The solution is simply to register it here as an EXPERIMENTAL/EXHIBITION craft. The limitations of this class are only apparent and do not really restrict one's ability to fly wherever, whenever one wishes. My craft had, since its construction, been registered in Switzerland and flown mostly in Germany. Registration here was not difficult. Let me know what further information you require.

Richard Riley Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 Just an idle thought. Why does it need to be registered in the US? As long as it's registered in a ICAO signatory country, it can be flown here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
