10. SCOPE AND CONTENTS. This section discusses the elements contained in 103 .l which make up the definition of an “ultralight vehicle” and the proper way to assure that Part 103 applies.

22. DOCUMENTATION OF A TECHNICAL STANDARDS COMMITTEE’S. If an ultralight is found by a recognized technical standards committee to meet the requirements of 103.1 with respect to the items specified in paragraphs 18 through 21, the committee should issue a document confirming its findings. (See Appendix 4 for an example of this documentation.)
a. Failure to Provide Satisfactory Evidence. If you cannot provide this evidence, or if the evidence provided is not satisfactory, your ultralight will be considered an aircraft subject to all applicable aircraft regulations and you will be subject to all requirements applicable to the operator. It is your responsibility to prove that your ultralight and any operations you may ‘nave conducted meet the applicability for operation-under Part 103. Until you do, the FAA will proceed with any enforcement investigation resulting from your inability to provide that proof.
34. PART 91 (GENERAL OPERATING AND FLIGHT’ RULES), Part 91 contains the general operating rules (Subpart A), flight rules (Subpart B), and maintenance rules (Subpart C) which are applicable to all certificated aircraft operations, Pilots of certificated ultralight aircraft must comply with Part 91, No certificated aircraft can be operated under Part 103, The flight rules of Subpart B are the minimum standards for flight operations except where the operating limitations of the particular aircraft establish more stringent standards. The majority of the rules contained in Subpart A and Subpart C will not apply to operations of certificated ultralight aircraft; however, a thorough review of these regulations should be conducted to determine those applicable to a particular type of ultralight aircraft.
