The International Council of Air Shows, in
cooperation with the Federal Aviation Administration and Transport Canada,
has recently changed the guidance on the expiration dates of aerobatic
cards. Starting in 2007, the official wording accepted and activated in both
the United States and Canada is as follows:
Section 12: Subsection C - Completion and Processing of Applicants (1) now
reads: “All Statement of Aerobatic Competency cards due to expire in 2007, will expire December 31, 2007.
Renewals accomplished in 2007 will expire December 31, 2008, subsequent
renewals accomplished while the card is still valid and newly issued cards
will expire on December 31 of the following year (e.g. a renewal done with a
valid card in 2008 will expire December 31, 2009). If the card has expired
it must be reinstated and will expire December 31 in the year it was
reinstated. For example, if a card was valid until December 31, 2007 and
the reevaluation wasn’t accomplished until January of 2008, that card will
expire December 31, 2008. The card holder must accomplish another
evaluation in 2008 which will have an expiration date of December 31, 2009.
If the card holder waits to get an evaluation in January 2009, that card
will expire on December 31, 2009.”This
wording is the only change to this revision and will appear in the next
revision of the ACE Manual which will be published in 2007. The ACE Manual is
the document that directs ICAS administration of the Aerobatic Competency
Evaluation program. Click here to view the full text of
