Dutchboy 0 #1 October 3, 2001 FAA is requiring part 91 operators (General Aviation) of aircraft over 12,500 lbs to implement new security procedures. I think the gross of a standard Otter is 11,600, but what are the Super Otter's limited too? I'm sure that some of the larger jump ships out there could be affected by this.The Dutchboyhttp://www.geocities.com/ppolstra Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
diverdriver 5 #2 October 3, 2001 A Super Otter has a GTOW (Gross Takeoff Weight) of 12,500 exactly. That way you don't need a type rating.Chris SchindlerATP/CFIID-19012 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freeflir29 0 #3 October 3, 2001 Yep all Otters are 12,500 or less no matter what a scale might say...LOL. However, this may have some affect on Casas and Skyvans. Aren't Skyvans over 12.5?"The sky resembles a back lit canopy...with holes punched through it"- IncubusClay Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Craig 0 #4 October 3, 2001 Max takeoff weight of a CASA 212 is 17,857 Lbs. according to my info. What exactly are these new "security procerdures"? In any event I would think that a jump operation could get a waiver, for lack of a better word, to allow them to fly un-regulated but it's only a guess.

Dutchboy 0 #5 October 4, 2001 As always nowadays, check the AOPA website for details. They are concerned that somebody will hijack a large GA aircraft and want passengers and luggage to be searched, etc.The Dutchboyhttp://www.geocities.com/ppolstra Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Our skyvan flys with one, so I'm guessing it's under 12,500. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Join the conversation You can post now and register later.
