I think I need to figure this one out once and for all. The registration for my RV-9A states that the airplane is an Experimental, Amateur Built aircraft. My Airworthiness Certificate states that it's an Experimental, Exhibition aircraft. I questioned the FSDO guy about it last year and he said something about that being the way they do it. Obtaining the AC from this guy was a bit frustrating so I didn't push it at that point.
The limitations letter doesn't say anything about me operating the plane for "air shows, motion pictures, television, and similar productions, and for the maintenance of exhibition flight proficiency." It looks like your standard amateur built operating limitations letter. When I look up my tail number on the FAA site, it states in the airworthiness block that it's Experimental Amateur Built. The only place that it states that is Exhibition is on the pink slip itself. Perhaps this is an error. This wouldn't be the first error I've had to deal with during the registration process.
Is this something I should fix or just leave it be?
