New Wording for Passenger Warning

It should not cause an issue as long as the placard you have "includes" the required wording. The addition of "Amateur-Built" or "Light-Sport" wording should not be a problem. To be sure, you should talk with your inspector before the inspection.

... and I wouldn't change it, because if I did, the second placard beneath it wouldn't make sense.

"The Titanic was built by professionals; the Ark was built by amateurs."

A valid question. I just paid for a couple of the old style labels; must I throw them away & buy again, to eliminate the extra words? Or should I just line through them with a sharpie?

I thought this was a retroactive change.

Sorry, I misunderstood.

Except for single place aircraft, the following placard must be displayed in the aircraft in full view of all occupants: ?PASSENGER WARNING?THIS AIRCRAFT DOES NOT COMPLY WITH FEDERAL SAFETY REGULATIONS FOR STANDARD AIRCRAFT.?

Note that Experimental, Light-Sport, or Amateur-Built is no longer required wording. This makes for a more "standardized" placard.

What's the source for this?

Note: don't copy bad links when you quote posts; it just repeats it un-necessarily.

....Just add another sticker that says!
"This superior flying machine is

I've seen similar wording a few times. While somewhat witty, and in many cases the build quality is better than factory, I'd really, really hate to have a plaintiff's attorney asking me or my surviving family members to explain the justification behind such a statement.

Seen a number of post placard quips. I like this one.
