The FAA has published a new version of the Amateur-Built Aircraft and Ultralight Flight Testing Handbook. AC 90-89C is now current. https://www.faa.gov/regulations_pol...fm/go/document.information/documentID/1041650

I am glad they left the 1940's and 50's style cartoons to make point in technical manual with humor. My Dad had military airplane manuals for WWII vintage planes. I recall going through them, T6 and a Liaison plane, either a Piper L-4 or Stinson L-5 Sentinel. Don't recall which one. They had silly cartoons with a silly pilot, cautioning not to do as this guy does. Even as a kid I got it... Don't do nut-in stupid.
All I have to say AC 90-89C Charlie is a big dummy. Ha ha. Thanks for update.
Timely release from the FAA for me. I am working on my Program Letter for an AW Inspection with Mel as my DAR. Hopefully he is amenable to this change! Mel???
I hope he responds to this so we get his take. There is some current discussion about this on other forums -
until Order 8130.2 and the AWC have been updated you will get the limitations in 8130.2. Keep in mind that this AC was written and issued by AFS-300 which is part of Flight Standards. Order 8130.2 is written by AIR-100, which is part of Aircraft Certification Services. These are two different sections of the FAA and they don't always talk to one another.
I'd like to hear other DAR thoughts on this.
