After speaking with my DAR today I am very reluctant to post this question as he was very helpful on the phone and very receptive to a large area to my west out almost 80 miles. This is very good in that I am able to avoid the mountains south and east of me and remain in a large box over relatively flat land.
Here is my question though, he wants 1.5 hours of taxi time logged prior to the inspection. I have new ECI cylinders and nowhere in the literature does it state this is good for cyl. break in. This DAR is an engine builder of many years and is adamant about this requirement for my airworthiness cert. Would one of you DARs please provide me with the documented requirement for 1.5 hours of taxi time. I don't want to argue with him, but I would like to read this requirement.
If my DAR is reading this...............................
