EAA Ultralight Council Meets; Carla Larsh Named Ultralight Council Chair

Carla Larsh, EAA Ultralight Council Chairperson

All eight members of the EAA Ultralight Council gathered at EAA Headquarters in Oshkosh (WI) last week, to review EAA's current ultralight programs and services, plan for EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2003, and discuss issues related to the new sport pilot and light-sport aircraft rules and their effect on the ultralight and light-plane community.

Just before the meeting, Carla Larsh was appointed chairperson of EAA's Ultralight Council, succeeding former chairman Jamie Kee.

Larsh, who operated Larsh Air Park near Colfax (IA), with her late husband, Phil Larsh, has been active member of the Ultralight Council since Phil's passing in 2000. She has been an EAA member since the early 1980s and a member of EAA Chapter 256 and EAA Ultralight Chapter 81. Phil had been a member of the Ultralight Council since its inception in 1991.

Carla was a co-founder of the Airpark Owners and Operators Association and served on that board for eight years. She also serves as the Volunteer Coordinator and chairs the pilot registration program in the Ultralight/Light Plane area at AirVenture each year, and she is co-chairperson of the Ultralight Headquarters in Paradise City at the Sun 'n Fun EAA Fly-in.

As chairperson, Carla says, "My main focus will be on ultralight and sport pilot issues-assuring a smooth transition process for ultralight pilots who wish to become sport pilots-while also continuing to represent the interests of those who enjoy true ultralight flying."
