<P>The ATC guys don't care that you are an experimental, and they don't car=
e to know the difference between an ES and a Columbia 400, since they are i=
n effect the same airplane as far as they are concerned.&nbsp;&nbsp; My poi=
nt was that it's an FAR that you communicate "experimental" to a tower, and=
 putting this in remarks will most likely satisfy that requirement.&nbsp; T=
his FAR goes way back before there were home built kit airplanes, and someo=
ne else on this list explained pretty closely why that was a requirement, s=
ince "experimental" used to mean danger, handle with care.&nbsp;&nbsp; Now =
with the hombuilts it's not necessary, controllers would rather know what t=
ype you are.&nbsp;&nbsp; If you just say experimental, you could be a 100 k=
not single, or a twin engine jet these days.&nbsp;&nbsp; If you insist on s=
aying that you are an experimental, then at least say you are an experiment=
al Lancair.&nbsp; </P>
<P>Ron Galbraith</P>
<P>LNCE-N5ES<BR><BR><BR>&gt; just put experimental in remarks.&nbsp; That w=
ay the information is <BR>&gt; automated to the guys who need that informat=
ion (the ones at the<BR>tower). <BR>&gt;<BR>Jim,<BR><BR>&gt;So the tower wo=
uld handle a Lancair with a standard certificate <BR>&gt;(Columbia 400) dif=
ferent than an ES with an experimental certificate?&nbsp; <BR>&gt;Is not th=
e type sufficient to know the capabilities of the aircraft? <BR></P><BR>
