REFLECTOR: Also a new Velocity Owner

[Velocity]

Ok that is what I also thought I call our FSDO last year to get on their schedule and they said that 
they could be out the next week. They even called me few time to see if I was still wanting to get the
plane inspected. I am finally ready I hope for this inspection. Wish me luck

  Yes, it's my understanding that some FSDO's (I think the one that covers Sebastian, in fact) essentially refuse to do the inspections, and just refer you to a DAR.  Here in Cincinnati we're blessed with a very cooperative FSDO that will schedule within two weeks of getting the paperwork.

        I think mainly because they are rumored to take months and months to get to your airplane, though in practice I've heard of guys getting their inspection just as fast with the FAA folks.  I think a lot depends on your FSDO and local conditions ...

          I just spoke to the FAA examiner who is coming out to check my plane in two weeks . The faa Shut down  does not effect his job I was told.
          Why are builders using a Dar instead of a FAA examiner. FAA is already paid for through your taxes.

            The DAR I'm working with is referred by the Salt Lake City EAA Chapter 23. His fee is $400. I also pay the SLC chapter an extra $50 for a pre-inspection. They have a team of two guys who come down to Provo and make sure I'm ready for the DAR. I didn't try the FAA - last time I asked the FAA guy he told me I'd have to get in line for 2-3 months.

              How much are DARs asking these days for airworthiness inspection? I wonder if the FAA furlough is stopping their inspections?

                I've scheduled my DAR inspection for end of August, so dreams do come true. I look forward to your web site and progress reports, Patrick. The reflector is a great resource, so don't hesitate to use it freely. Where are you located?

                  Hello Reflector readers,



                  My name is Patrick and I have taken the task to finish a XL5-FG project, started by Tom Tolton. The plane arrived to my house a few weeks ago and now I am studying his work, reading and matching pictures he sent me and planning for the future. Since the airplane is mostly a shell by now, I get to do all the interior, instruments, engine etc. I am sure my skills as an airplane mechanic will come in handy, although it's been a while since I turned wrenches   I am sure it will come back to me quick.



                  I am in the process of making my website, it's running and some pictures are available, but more is to come once I have time. Talking about time, I am planning to really this project in about two years, when I have saved more money again for the big stuff, and it coincides with my youngest to start Kindergarten. That will give me 3 days a week (I mostly work/fly the weekend) to be down in the garage and tinker around. I will be joining your conversations online already and listen and observe.
