If i were to purchase a SLSA that was manufactured by a company that is no longer (DOA) how would i go about upgrading it to adsb if getting a LOA is not possible? Would i have to go the experimental route?
Thank in advance.

Re: LOA from DOA SLSA
If the company is truly DOA and you there is nobody in authority from the company to issue an LOA/MRA, ELSA conversion is your only route to 2020 compliance.Atrosa wrote:If i were to purchase a SLSA that was manufactured by a company that is no longer (DOA) how would i go about upgrading it to adsb if getting a LOA is not possible?

Re: LOA from DOA SLSA
From reading posts here and on other forums, those who have done the recertification from SLSA to experimental are happy they did it; I know I am.
The downsides are that it can no longer be used for commercial purposes, insurance premiums may be a little higher, and resale value might take a hit.

Re: LOA from DOA SLSA
Has anyone actually posed this question to the FAA in OK or their local FSDO? I would bet they might have a solution before one has to got EAB.
Re: LOA from DOA SLSA
For a SLSA with a manufacture who is no longer in business, and no one else has taken over the support of the airplane the only option is to go ELSA. I don't remember who I was talking with, but I think it was the FAA. They mentioned that there was an early model SLSA that this happened to, and the FAA forced the already registered aircraft to convert to ELSA.
