in their experimental aircraft and EAA says current pilots have until Aug. =
31, 2005, to prove they have the necessary category and class ratings for =
the aircraft they fly. Those who always fly solo will not need to fly =
through the bureaucratic hoops. Under the new notice, which was issued =
April 21, affected pilots will have fill out a form and make sure their =
recreational or higher certificate is in order. Flying passengers requires =
that the pilot have at least five hours as PIC in the category, class, =
make and model of the experimental aircraft in question between Sept. 1, =
2004, and Aug. 31, 2005. An authorized flight instructor must make a =
logbook entry attesting to the pilot's proficiency with the aircraft and =
then the pilot must show the log to a designated pilot examiner or FAA =
Operations Inspector. A new pilot certificate will then be issued =
restricting the pilot to flying that particular experimental aircraft (or =
any others for which he or she has done the paperwork).=20
