---From the EAA Hot Line newsletter: MATT LIKNAITZKY JOINS THE LIMITED RANKS
OF
FAA PRIVATE TRIKE PILOTS
On Tuesday (May 6), Matt Liknaitzky, Santa Monica , California , passed his
FAA
oral and flight practical private pilot powered glider evaluations in an
experimental amateur-built trike or "motorglider," as the airworthiness
certificate reads.
Because a trike or weight-shift aircraft category and class rating does not
currently exist, Matt endured a 10-hour oral exam that included questions on
glider, trike, and airplane procedures -plus a one-hour flight evaluation.
In the end Matt earned a brand new FAA Private Pilot -Glider certificate,
with
a restriction to only fly trikes (weight-shift-control) aircraft.
