Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 32 / Friday, February 15, 2008 / Notices kit listing, which is available via the internet to prospective buyers. These kit evaluations inform prospective applicants that they could be eligible for an experimental amateur-built airworthiness certificate if they completed their aircraft in compliance with the FAA-evaluated assembly and instruction manuals and fabricated and constructed the aircraft in compliance with 14 CFR part 21, § 21.191(g). The method of determining what constitutes the major portion of construction has undergone several changes since the rule was first codified. When FAA staff developed the commonly used form 8000–38, ‘‘Fabrication and Assembly Operation Checklist’’, to calculate major portion, the intent was that a single check mark in a column on the form would identify who did the task. Some manufacturers and FAA representatives calculate major portion by using a ‘‘task-based’’ accounting mechanism that incorporates a ‘‘dual-check’’ system whereby an amateur-builder may be given shared credit even if that person does not complete 50% of the task. When this is used in practice, the kit manufacturer and amateur-builder share credit on the Form 8000–38. It was not envisioned that credit for a task would be offered to an amateur-builder simply assisting in the fabrication and assembly, as is happening today in some cases. The FAA will resume amateur-built kit evaluations after issuing final policy changes. Prior to publishing the final policy, FAA will solicit comments on draft policy, internal orders and advisory circulars through a notice in the Federal Register. Dated: February 11, 2008.
