I really have no idea how much time I am spending on getting the paperwork duck in row. Today I applied for an AW certificate. If you don't know this is done on-line and you need to have various items scanned in on your computer. You then go to the FAA's AWC portal and open an account.
I relied on help from a Kitplanes article published in March 2021 edition and from my DAR, Mark Barker from Anchorage.
So far so good on getting the process moving. Tentatively scheduled for November 12, 2021.
