I would get the Annual / 100 hr. checklist out of FAR Part 43, Appendix D. This will give you a guideline of what they are looking for in the certification of your aircraft ( not exactly, but real close) . It is very unlikely they are there because of your rotary engine, I would be very surprised if they were. The DAR is interested in the systems installation issues, security of attachment, proper safetying, ect. If in doubt about what they are looking for, get a copy of AC 43.13 and check your systems against accepted aircraft practices. Having these laying around where the FAA can see them won't hurt, either. As far as engines go, they don't care is you have a herd of mice underneath the cowling driving a propeller if your convinced it's going to work, they just want to make sure when they sift throught the wreckage, everything was safetied and all the bolts were installed correctly. As always with the FAA, only speak when spoken to, and you will be fine.

My aircraft is about to under= go its final inspection for its AW certification this Friday morning.
My DAR is being "assisted" by two FAA officials to "help" him perform the inspection.
I suspect this is because of the DAR's unfamiliarity with the Rotary engine.
What I urgently need is an exhaustive list of currently flying aircraft with Rotary engines to overwhelm them with evidence of the fact that
these are not a fluke but a real alternative to conventional aircraft engines.
Dale Rogers has started a list of aircraft that are flying but it is by no means complete.
Here is the website with the listing.
http://members.cox.net/rogersda/rotary/configs.htm
 
Noticeably among the missing are Tracy Crook and David Atkins who may have the most accumulated hours of all the flying Rotarys.
If everyone who has a flying rotary could send their info to Dale so that he could update his list it would be of great help, not only to me but to all future Rotary flyers.
Thanks for your consideration
