New FAA Procedure? - Page 2

Just finished my certification application, what a PITA.

With my weak computer skills it proved to be quite a challenge,
I was lucky to have a DAR that was up to speed with the new system
and after a number of lengthy phone calls got thru the application.

Did mine a few days ago this way. It sucked, but we managed to get through it. I think the DAR had a more difficult time than I did. I will tell you that it’s still helpful to have the EAA’s guide to getting your airworthiness certificate.

The problem with this new system is that it is used for a LOT more than just what we need it for in order to get an AW certificate for E/AB. In my opinion, that is the problem.

I actually put together a PDF to go back and forth with the DAR here. I think I did a pretty good job of laying out what needs to be done (as well as some of the problems I saw with it, in my opinion). I hope this can help some folks out.

I did an EAA webinar on the new system. You can watch the webinar here:

It's a big improvement.... for the folks at the aircraft registration branch. We are now doing their work for them. It's a PITA for everyone else, and the user guides are about as useless as they can be.

The new, improved, friendlier FAA.....

Thanks for the links everyone has posted on this. They are very useful. I just started this online process yesterday. I'm still a bit unclear on what documents I actually need to submit but I'm already in contact with my DAR so I'll ask him.

I am ready to register my aircraft.....waiting on Bill of Sale from mothership. Has anything changed with the registration process..... mail in forms with a check.... or is it on line as well now?

It is still the same. Mine just came in the mail. They had it processed within just a couple of days.
