Jeff Gilkey, Weight Shift Control (Trike) Pilot
Jeff Gilkey is a weight shift control pilot that has taken the lead in his area
to get other pilots squared away as sport pilots and their aircraft certified as
light sport aircraft. By bringing in outside instructors to provide the
training, testing, and airworthiness inspections he has helped many disciplines
of sport pilots in the Albuquerque, New Mexico area while he has helped his own
situation. His methods are easy to duplicate for those wanting to get things
done in their own regions and Jeff tells how to do it.

Brian & Carol Carpenter, Rainbow Aviation Services
The
Carpenters talk about their 120 Hour Repairman Course for Light Sport Aircraft
(Airplanes and Trikes). While the course hasn't been accepted yet, the plans to
hold the first course are on for March. We talk with them to learn what this
course entails, who is attending the course, and what this course authorizes the
graduates to do. We also talk to them about their first powered parachute 16
hour course that they are taking on the road to Lincoln, Nebraska.

Brian & Carol Carpenter, Rainbow Aviation
Since we
last visited with the Carpenters, they have accomplished even more for the
sport. They have a new book out, their Sport Pilot Airplane book. They've
conducted their 16 hour condition inspection course for E-LSA airplane owners.
They are also getting ready to do a 16 hour course for trike owners. Brian and
Carol fill us in on what has been a busy schedule.
Rainbow Aviation (9/13/05)
Brian & Carol Carpenter, Rainbow Aviation
The
Carpenters have done something that no other sport aviation school has done.
They have created an FAA approved program for the 16 hour condition inspection
course for E-LSA owners. Their achievement becomes most apparent when you
realize that only they and the EAA have gotten programs approved so far. Brian
and Carol join us to tell us how they did it.
