2 strokes and class d

[Tomo]

I was going to research this tonight, but ran out of time so may as well just put it out there... though don't shoot me down if it's a bit of an obvious question!

 

Was just wondering if you can fly a 2 stroke aircraft into a Class D aerodrome, i.e controlled airspace. I can even install an encoded transponder for such a thing, but is it possible in the regs? I recall somewhere you need a certified engine for controlled airspace, I'm assuming 2 stroke rotax engines aren't a certified aircraft engine!?

 

I know of people that have flown Drifters into Class C airspace, and landed at aerodromes as such, but never heard how they got about doing it.

 

Thanks!

24 rego your in, 582 non certified your out.

582 is an approved engine and good to go in control need 24 rego and ppl

Certified is NOT the requirement ... Approved is the requirement and a two stroke of the right type is approved. You can even VH experimental register a 2stroke Drifter if you want and as long as it is transponder equipped you can fly CTA.

 

But 95-10 is out Tomo sorry buddy.

I think Trike-wise, 32 rego (Aka T2 in HGFA jargon) is also in, but 10 (Aka T1 in HGFA jargon) are out.

 

Just in case you were thinking of trikes. (Probably not)
