I got my call from the FAA today on my  inspection. Next May is the soonest he can get to it. Of course I can go hire a  DAR at $500 to do my inspection. I've allready waited 3 month on the  registration. I talked to a guy the other day & it took him longer to get  the plane registered & flying than it took to  build.

This is a long shot, but call EAA & ask if there is a Homebuilt DAR in 

your area. This is a relatively new program so there aren't many out 

there yet. However, if you can find one nearby all they can charge is 

expenses.

Too bad that you are not near Reno.  The FAA office there has a very

helpful inspector named Don Morgan.  He is a credit to the FAA and is

appreciated by many  experimental  and sport aircraft builders in the

California and Nevada areas.

I was told the FAA no longer does free inspections. Is this BS?

If you have not done so already, contact the nearest FSDO and ask 

them.



For your location the nearest would be Jackson, MS:

Hope this helps clarify your question.

Paul they do free ones, but it may take forever before they come out 

to inspect it. A DAR will do it in a reasonable amount of time, but 

then you pay for it.

them, that is why such a long wait. If they make it too long a wait

every one will go with a DAR. I'm in a bind right now I maxed out the

credit card trying to finish this plane. Finished the plane but don't

have the money to afford the DAR. I'm sure I will be able to dig up $500

dollars by April. Jan is just a rough month.

 Affirmative, it's BS

I have to agree with John H, give them a call, no harm done in 

asking.  What category do you intend to license it, Experimental or 

Light Sport.  Seems like I recall reading that the FAA would not do 

light sport inspection that you had to use the service of a DAR, but 

the FAA inspections would still be available for experimental.

Gang,

Just got off the phone with the FSDO in Jackson. Guy named Ed Adcock told me the FAA no longer does AW inspections that now is done by DAR's. So it wasnt BS looks like. He also said this was nation wide and due to money crunches his division of the FAA handeled surveillance only what ever that means.     Oh well thank goodness for credit!

Paul...

  

 Lots of FSDOs are still performing Experimental certifications, sounds like Jackson doesn't...  Bring it to "Lovely" Fresno and the FSDO will do the certification...

Hi Paul:



Was not the answer you were looking for, but at least you have a valid 

answer and don't have to worry about hearsay.



15 years ago I paid a gentleman out of Birmingham, Alabama, to do my 

airworthiness inspection.  He did a good job, asked for a fair price. 

I have no idea what he charges now, but he may be agreeable to swing 

by your place, when the time comes, and do your inspection.  His name 

is John Burgin.  Someone on the Kolb List may have his number handy. 

If not, we can find it shortly.
