How to Convert to "New" Operating Limitations FAA Order 8130.2G, paragraph 215b(1)(d), (4), & (6) states that to amend your current operating limitations you need to submit only one thing to your local FAA office (the FSDO) - and that's a completed FAA Form 8130-6, "Application for Airworthiness Certificate." Get the form from the local FSDO office along with a copy of AC 21-12, "Application for U.S. Airworthiness Certificate, FAA Form 8130-6." Only FSDO FAA Inspectors can process the change request. Search for your nearest FSDO by clicking here. The paperwork required to update your operating limitations takes less than 30 minutes and the FSDO FAA Safety Inspector can do it without leaving his desk. FAA Order 8130.2G paragraph 215b(6) specifically tells the FAA Inspectors that a new aircraft inspection is NOT a requirement when updating your operating limitations. You'll need to attach COPIES (not the originals) of your current airworthiness certificate, the aircraft registration and operating limitations to the cover letter along with the completed FAA Form 8130-6. Note: The FSDO FAA Safety Inspector, however will not release the revised/updated operating limitations until you can bring in the original documents for a one-to-one exchange. Don't forget the other part of this issue - keep your insurance company informed as you progress through the change project. Usually anything you do to your aircraft will cause a change in your insurance coverage and rates. For reference, this link will download FAA Order 8130.2G. EAA strongly suggests that when you send in the form, you attach the following cover letter that says (cut and paste this to a word document - then fill in the blanks): Date Name and address of your local FSDO Dear Sirs, Attached is a completed FAA Form 8130-6, Application for Airworthiness Certificate. In accordance with FAA Order 8130.2G paragraph 215b(1)(d) and 215b(4) & (6), this application is being submitted to amend my current experimental operating limitations to match those published in FAA Order 8130.2G, paragraph 4104 (dated 8/21/2010). My aircraft, N______, currently has ___ hours on it, completed all test flight (Phase I) requirements on DATE, and is currently operating in Phase II. I've enclosed a copy of the current airworthiness certificate, aircraft registration and operating limitations for my aircraft, N______, for your reference use. Sincerely, (Signed) |
