Greetings,
As you all know, you can get a repairman's certificate for a specific plane that you built. Doesn't it seem reasonable that you should be able to get a more general certificate, based on the type of plane?
For example, say you built an RV-6, and received the repairman's certificate for it. After a few years, you sell the plane and buy an RV-7 already built. Since you didn't build the RV-7, you can't do the conditional inspections, but realistically, you're as qualified to do the RV-7 inspections as you were the RV-6 inspections.
Does anyone think the EAA could, or should try to get the FAA to modify the repairman's certificate rules?
Cheers,
Rusty
