Hi
I have just completed my inspection (RV-10) with MD-RA and am the first person to receive a Special Certificate of Airworthiness under CAR 549 issued by MD-RA in a great many years.
It was something of a struggle as MD-RA was determined that I meet the "intent" of CARS 523.997 by complying with it even though it does not apply to amateur built aircraft. Ultimately I had to appeal to Transport Canada for relief.
In the end I prevailed and I DID NOT install a gascolator. I have a query into MD-RA asking if this has cleared the path for others.
Cheers
Les
