Repairmen Certificate on purchased plane
Has anyone succesfully obtained a Repairmens Certificate for an RV that they did not build, based on the merit that they already have a repairmens cert. on a similar RV they did build? Specifically, since I have a repairmens cert for the RV-9A I built; what are the chances I could obtain one on an RV that I want to Purchase? I would argue that based on experience I am equally qualified to perform the condition inspection but I know this is not how the 51% rule is written....

Repairman's certificate
My question was similar. I completed way over 51% of a 9a and sold it to buy a flying 7. Have put ten years of service, repairs and upgrades into it with assistance of an A&P for condition inspections. I certainly have skills and experience with RVs equal to a guy that might be eligible for a repairman's certificate, but cannot find a way to qualify. Any help finding a way?

I would think you can get the repairmans certificate if you can show the FSDO you are capable, and the repairmans certificate has not already been issued to someone else. Be interested to see what Mel has to say.

Only one person is eligible...
Only one person is eligible for the repairman's certificate for a given homebuilt, so regardless of one's ability (or merit) in convincing the FAA, it may be a mute point to try if one was already issued.

To be eligible for repairman certificate on amateur-built aircraft, one must be listed as a builder on the 8130-12.
Only one certificate per aircraft.

The only way to be a "repairman" for a plane that you did not build is to get an A&P license.
Edit: This pertains to EAB, not LSA aircraft.

As I understand it, if you are not listed as the builder on the Registration (would also be builder on the 8130-12) for an amateur built experimental then you will not get the repairman certificate. IF it is not registered as an amateur built experimental but registered as an Experimental LSA, there are classes that you can go to to get a repairman's certificate.
