Onex Receives FAA NKET Approval
Sonex Aircraft, LLC is excited to announce that the FAA National Kit Evaluation Team (NKET) has approved and published amateur building checklists for the new Onex Single-Place, Folding-Wing Sport Pilot Aircraft. Availability of these approved checklists allows current and future Onex builders to show compliance with the “major portion” requirement of 14 CFR section 21.191(g) for experimental/amateur-built aircraft, commonly referred to as the “51 Percent Rule.” This not only effects builders in the United States, but it also allows builders in many other countries, whose aviation authorities base their homebuilt aircraft regulations upon NKET approval, to build the Onex design. NKET checklist participation also opens the opportunity for Onex builders to legally obtain commercial assistance for their projects. Download the Onex NKET checklists from our Aircraft Certification Page.
