Last summer I took the two-day LSRI class in Denton, TX from Rainbow Aviation. This afternoon I drove over to the Lincoln FSDO, and was in and out in about 20 minutes and a cup of coffee with my temporary repairman cert in hand. FSDO staff was super easy to work with, and the process was quick and painless. Of course I had sent him copies of all the documentation ahead of time, so today was just a paper signing exercise.
At the end the FSDO guy pointed out that this was only the inspection cert, and does not allow me to do any maintenance or repairs. I let that one go, didn't feel like arguing with him. My -12 is an E-LSA, I could have my dog do maintenance and repairs if only poor Budweiser had opposable thumbs. Technically I guess he's correct, this certificate does not authorize me to do maintenance and repairs on my Experimental airplane. The FARs do.![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
