Brief Description: Airworthiness inspection
|
|
Well, today I had my DAR come out to perform the airworthiness inspection. I had everything ready, the plane prepped, all the paperwork laid out with all the necessary boxes filled in, notary stamps in place, signatures scribed etc.
The DAR arrived right on time. We talked for a while, discussing the construction process and various assemblies. The DAR has been at this for a long time, and I think this was his way of verifying that I was actually the builder. He had also perused by on-line construction log, and had talked with an A&P/IA who had done some in-progress inspections for me during the build.
After our chat, the DAR went around the airplane checking things. I would speculate that he has some very specific things that he looks for in this process. He found one small issue to be corrected, made a couple of recommendations for installing some anti-chafe material in the engine compartment, and pronounced himself satisfied with the construction.
Next the paperwork. He was very thorough in explaining the paperwork and going over the operating limitations and future documentation requirements that I will need to comply with to be fully legal. He described my test area and gave me a detail map outlining the extent of the area. Here in the San Diego region we are fortunate as the area DARs have negotiated a significant test area with the local FSDO. It is quite large, much larger than I had anticipated.
He presented me with the airworthiness certificate for the plane as the final step.
