Hi Scott
That is a good letter about the FAA inspection. I know you know all of this
but I would like to share this with he folks on the Reflector.
All experimental builders and owners should read FAR 91.319. Note all the
restriction to flight.
That is why the DAR or FAA inspector issues the letter of operation
limitation, This letter is part of the special airworthiness certificate and is
available to the pilot during flight. This important letter will eliminate most of
the restrictions after phase one time fly off with the flight test sigh off.
and second conditional inspection as per FAR 43 appendix. That is the
inspection check list.
Amateur experimental only sign off as safe condition for flight.
The FAA or DAR that issues the operation limits must be aware of FAA order
8700.1appendix 3.
The operation limitations should read 'After completion of phase 1
testing etc.etc this aircraft may be operated over densely populated areas on
congested airways and this aircraft may be operated under IFR Night.'
Note it is the builder or A&P that makes the first conditional inspection
in the airframe log and the second sign off after phase one

The FAA make no inspection statements in your log book

. I.A. not required for amateur built experimental air craft.

My MTVprop MTV-9-B/LD178-102 originally had an experimental placard but
now is type certified and the new sticker applied. The Engine I0540 also type
certified with all AD C.W. Our phase one time was only 25hours
