Hi All-
Let me chip in 2 cents here. I just went through a minor hassle that could
have been a big one. I sent in my registration package a little while
back. About 2 weeks later I received 2 letters from the feds. They had
consecutive dates, and were "you goofed your registration" form letters.
The letter has boxes to check to show what was missing from the
registration package. If you were to combine the everything that each
letter said was missing, you'd have a complete package. Hmm... looks like
somehow my registration package got split in two, and then two different
'crats rejected the individual halves. After much time on hold, and as
much time explaining and re-explaining the light bulb finally came on. The
'crat of the moment said she'd look for the docs and give me a call back.
2 days later, no call. So I called them. Turns out all was well, and the
2 halves of the package had been located and put back together. Great! So
where do we stand in the process? "Oh, the documents are being sent back
to you." What!?!?! "Yes, you made an error. The serial numbers on the
forms don't match." Long story short, they felt that MY airplane serial
number had to be VAN's kit serial number. I got hold of Charlie Becker up
at OSH who called the head of the fed office. Within a few minutes he
called back to tell me that my registration would be in the mail in a day
or two. Poof. That simple. Also, during the course of our conversation,
engine data plates came up. They absolutely DO NOT have to be removed from
the engine. You can be directed to the source material for these policies
by our friends in OSH, and certainly in my case they were able call the
right fed and make the problem go away in minutes. YMMV, but those folks
carry a lot of clout. I would advise anyone having these kinds of issues
to seek out the EAA tech folks and learn the truth, as well as how to get
the feds on track.
