This is a very different "twist" than I had understood it over these past 30 yrs. I always thought you had to have the Rep Cert to do the work. Good to know for sure and makes sense.

So now this guy is off to misinform the *next* applicant.

Somebody should at least notify his boss, anonymously if necessary, that he's spreading blatantly wrong information to his customers (the public).

Somebody should buy him an all-expense-paid round trip to Airventure this year with the requirement that he be a daily FAA speaker in the forums. His topic, of course, would be what you can and cannot do as owner of an EAB airplane with a Repairman's Certificate. Now that would be an education!

Default If only......

We could insure that he would show. Ill throw in the first $100 to the pot for his ticket and expenses. I'll bet the EAA would comp him a ticket and provide a guide for opportunities for improvement.

Bob, it sounds as though you know for a fact that the FSDO will coordinate with and convey the correct information to this inspector once a call is made. Because many of us are clueless about the inner workings of the FAA (myself included), and some of us have even had the opposite experience (again, myself included), would you mind sharing how you know they'll do the right thing in this instance?

The wonderful collaboration of this forum is exactly this... we share the good and the bad to help others or get help from others. Please either report him to his supervisor (and he does have must share his/her name if requested since he is Federal employee) or share his name on the forum. I'm not sure if sharing his name is within the guidelines of this public forum but others should know what to expect.

Thanks for sharing your experience.
