Two Viper Pilots Receive Jet Certification

Part Of An FAA Program To Standardize Pilot Qualifications

Move over, Starbuck ... oops ... wrong Viper. Viper Aircraft Corporation is pleased to announce that company pilot Alain Garcia and professional test pilot Len Fox of L.A. Fox Unlimited have both received their Authorized Experimental Aircraft certificate in the Viperjet aircraft.

“This is really an asset to our company and clients,” stated Scott Hanchette, president. “After completing the recommended training syllabus and fulfilling the certificate requirements, our clients will be able to add this designation to their license.” He further states, “To my knowledge, Viper Aircraft is the first experimental aviation company in its class to receive an  authorized Experimental Aircraft certificate. It is in essence an Experimental Aircraft version of a Type Rating. The holder of this endorsement on their Airman’s Certificate will no longer need to receive a Letter of Authorization (LOA) from the FAA.”

The Authorized Experimental Aircraft certificate is part of the FAA Vintage and Experimental Program established to standardize pilot qualifications, training and certification in experimental U.S. and foreign aircraft. Pilots must pass a comprehensive review and flight evaluation by an FAA Designated Experimental Aircraft examiner.

Of course, flying that Battlestar, Galactica Viper would be fun too. They don't even look THAT dissimilar.
