What changes are ahead in FAA’s administration of the 51% Rule?
The FAA wants to achieve administration and enforcement of the 51% Rule that will be consistent with the letter and the spirit of the Experimental Amateur-Built Category. That could mean stricter enforcement in some areas, as the FAA has suggested. It may also mean some changes in the ways in which manufacturers, builders, and inspectors of amateur-built aircraft are required to measure and document the amateur builder’s share of the construction tasks.
