REFLECTOR: Also a new Velocity Owner

[Brett Ferrell]

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

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.
