Stopped by the Sacramento FAA FSDO and picked up my Light Sport Inspection Rating today. The rating is issued limited to the ELSA that you own. They give you a "Temporary Airman Certificate" with the rating pending a permanent certificate which is mailed.

The rating expires when you sell your ELSA but can be added back if you get another ELSA.

One step at a time I am getting the FAA out of my life with the ELSA Carbon Cub. No medical, can do my own maintenance and now I can do the annual conditional inspection on my Carbon Cub.
