Experimental Exhibition Category - FAA
Okay, first off I'm being a little lazy here but bear with me please.
It's been a couple of years since I last flew in the US and my FAR/AIM is outdated and at the back of a storage unit. I'm trying to find out a little about Special Airworthness Certificates specifically in the Experimental Exhibition Category. What does this type of Certification mean for an aircraft and its operator?
I started by looking here;
Experimental Category
but it became like one of those spaghetti trails when trying to follow it to conclusion. Perhaps someone familiar with these could help me out with a couple of pointers for more reading or better still some personal comments/advice/experience in this field.
Is this a restrictive category and if so in what ways?
Many thanks

You won't find it in the FAR/AIM. Its in part 21 and says "Exhibiting the aircraft's flight capabilities, performance, or unusual characteristics at air shows, motion picture, television, and similar productions, and the maintenance of exhibition flight proficiency, including (for persons exhibiting aircraft) flying to and from such air shows and productions."
I have operated Hueys for several TV and one movie using this Experimental certification.

If you don't want to wade through Part 21, airworthiness information in an easy to read and understand format is contained in an FAA document with the title "Plane Sense". The 2008 version of that document can be downloaded from the FAA website.
