From the EAA Hotline this morning:
End of an Era: Exemption 7162 Expires
November 1, 2007 ?Midnight on October 31, 2007, signaled the end of an era as EAA?s exemption No. 7162 officially expired. That exemption allowed owners of experimental aircraft to be compensated for renting their aircraft to others who sought experimental aircraft-specific flight training and flight reviews. Its goal was to reduce the number of fatal experimental aircraft accidents, especially during the initial test flight period of an amateur-built aircraft and during the initial 10 flight hours after buying an experimental aircraft. By that measure, Exemption 7162 was an unqualified success as it contributed to a dramatic reduction in fatal experimental aircraft accidents - from 340 in fiscal year 2000 to 49 in fiscal year 2006.
On a personal note, I'm contacting my FSDO this morning to be able to continue this training. The numbers above speak for themselves but you see now how a bunch of demo$$$$$ think.
Regards,
