Joseph, The paper work proceedure and what you need for experimental certification is pretty clear. Like Sam said don't get to carried away with all this. Do what you need to get signed off. If the

Brett,   Good point.  However, by signing the Application for Airworthiness Certificate as an owner/builder, am I not declaring the aircraft to be airworthy?  So, I do not need to put such a

However, the endorsement in my logbook references his issuance of an "Airworthiness Certificate" :) LJ French

Just another thing with the FAA- Most of the time they are very picky with your “verbage”. Never will an Experimental Homebuilt Aircraft EVER be airworthy. When I was doing my A&P Oral and

Hi Rick,   I installed a compass today.  The local A&P's say the taxiway next to the hangars is N/S.   So, I will acquire some numbers with a compass and the taxiway.   Joseph

The DAR I deal with tells us that the FAA has insisted they become more detailed, especially in documenting the amateur built status. So they really want photos taken during the construction process

As the guys say, you can put on a compass card with bogus numbers, but I am thinking not to put something in the plane knowing it is wrong. Who knows, some day you might experience multiple systems

I had some "bad" luck today....I decided to reschedule the FAA inspection.  I do not want to go into details.  I just could not sign a statement in the Aircrft  log saying it was airworthy. 

Now here's the scary part: FAA inspectors are HUMAN (they all have different axes to grind) and they are Gummint employees (some wear Jackboots if you get my drift). I once worked for a company that

(sorry Sam - one more data point) On my last inspection (15 months ago) the FAA inspector (yes, FAA from the local FSDO) insisted that I have a compass. I asked for an explanation because I had a

Joseph, don't worry about it too much. Just get a compass card and stick it on your panel. Write some numbers on it. No worries. When I had my inspection, the FAA examiner (yes, FAA) noted my

Mike, I have a Dynon EFIS-D10 with a remote, electronic compass.  There are calibration procedures, but you need to be at an airport which has a compass rose.  I am not allowed to fly as yet.  The

I've been through dozens of these inspections with clients at work and I can tell you the DAR will not sign off without some sort of compass and correction card. While you might fight the DAR about

Don't forget to have your compass correction card stuck to the dash. They seem to look for that as we often forget about it. Mike Q200 Terry Adams wrote:
