A stated level of builder fabrication is
necessary for the FAA to issue the
amateur builder a repairman certificate
after showing compliance with § 65.104.
Among other requirements, that section
requires the experimental aircraft
builder to be the primary builder of the
aircraft, and to show to the satisfaction
of the Administrator that the individual
has the requisite skill to determine
whether the aircraft is in a condition for
safe operations.
The FAA is seeking comments on the
proposed minimum percentage of
fabrication and assembly that would be
required in order for an amateur-built
aircraft to qualify for a special
airworthiness certificate in the
experimental category. In addition, the
FAA seeks comments to Chapter 4,
Special Airworthiness Certification,
Section 9, of FAA Order 8130.2F,
Airworthiness Certification of Aircraft
and Related Products, and AC 20–27G,
Certification and Operation of AmateurBuilt Aircraft. Both of these documents
are available at https://www.faa.gov.
Paper copies of these documents may be
obtained by writing to Frank
