When
you have reached this stage where you have completed your plane,
test flown it and qualified yourself to fly it you will experience
an emotional high, difficult to describe here. You will experience
self satisfaction and a confidence that will show every time you
fly your own dream machine. Now that you have an airplane, you're
going to ask, "What can I do with it?"
You
could do a lot with it depending on its particular capabilities.
If it is an ultralight you will be allowed to operate it within
the confines of an Ultralight Air Park, typically 5 km radius from
the authorised operating ground.
If
it is a regular airplane with communications capability you may
be allowed to operate in the National Airspace System. You may fly
from one point to another point ie. cross-country travel.
Most
importantly, you will bring your very own dream machine to EAA Fly-Ins
around the country where you will be the 'star' around your flying
machine. You will answer questions on how you built it, where you
built it, and give rides to interested people, all the time aware
that you did it all by yourself. At this point, EAA Malaysia will
take a back seat position, satisfied in having reached out to one
more Sport Flying enthusiast in its mission to promote Sport Flying
in Malaysia.
