Brief Description: DAR Inspection
|
|
On this date, I and my aircraft had our DAR inspection. There was a lot of preparation involved, but the actual inspection was fairly benign. There were no discrepancies that I had to correct. The only two questions I was asked were (1) if I made the fuel and oil lines, and if so, did I use a mandrel (yes), and (2) how is the engine grounded. The DAR did have a suggestion, though. He recommends backing up the cable attachments to the mixture and carb heat with small Dura-Collars, available from Du-Bro:

We also reweighed my Bearhawk. I'd screwed up by not pumping out the aux tanks in the level flight condition prior to weighing it last time, and the DAR wanted the weights clean with no adjustments to them. I also calculated the arms again, just to be safe. Not to pat myself on the back, but I officially have the heaviest Bearhawk ever! Yay. All that kitchen sink stuff adds up. The final weight is 1692 lbs with CG at 9.01 inches (wing leading edge datum) with 12 quarts of oil. The main gear arm is -1.63 inches and the tailwheel arm is 198.3 inches. Basically, with empty fuel and myself as the pilot, I need 30 lbs in the baggage compartment.
I then entered the weight and balance into the AFS EFIS, which will suffice for the ARROW requirements..
