Regulations
PH-CMO will be a Dutch registered amateur build aircraft.
About the 51% rule
Enforcement of the 51% rule has following implications:
– The builder must prove being the original builder of the airplane by invoices and a build log.
– In some cases, a builder buys an unfinished project from another builder. It is imperative that the builder is able to show that at least 51% of the aircraft is built by an amateur
– Aircrafts with a previous registration (already completed aircrafts) in another country cannot be registered in the Netherlands.
– Your project needs to be registered with NVAV at the start of the project. In order to ensure quality, the builder will invite an NVAV inspector during the build at critical stages, such as final closure of the wings, elevator, etc. Usually, two visits suffice but more are encouraged. NVAV technical advisors and inspectors are volunteers.

Yearly renewal of the Certificate of Airworthiness
For the yearly renewal of the Certificate of Airworthiness (CoA, sBVL in Dutch) an inspector with Ducth certification needs to check the maintenance records and is free to inspect some samples. In particular application of SB’s and ADs are investigated. The mandatory instrument calibrations (new and every two years) as well as weighing and weight and balance calculations may be carried out by a local EASA certified party.
