Where may operating limitations be found if the aircraft has an Experimental or special light sport airworthiness certificate?

• A. Attached to the Airworthiness Certificate
• B. In the aircraft's engine maintenance log
• C. In the pilot's license
• D. In the manufacturer's warranty document

Answer: (A)

Operating limitations for experimental or special light-sport aircraft are issued with the airworthiness certificate and are physically attached to it. This placement ensures you have a ready reference to the exact conditions under which that specific aircraft may be flown, including any activity or operational restrictions. They are not placed in the engine maintenance log, the pilot’s license, or the manufacturer's warranty document, which serve different purposes (maintenance records, pilot qualifications, and product warranty, respectively). If the certificate is updated, the attached operating limitations are updated along with it, maintaining a clear link between the aircraft and its required operating conditions.
