When my inspector came out to issue my AW certificate, he asked if I had a builders log.
I pulled out the binder with all the documentation and progress photos, dates ect... expecting him to carefully go through it. He saw the binder cover labeled builder log and checked off that box on his paper...He did not open it..

Wayne,
I had no real problem getting my "Repairman's Certificate." I don't remember the details, but most of my documentation was the Lancair manual with notes and dates on the pages. I don't think I actually had to submit that, though - I just filled out the application. I don't think a formal builder's log is a requirement - but then that was just my experience. YMMV

I learned from my DAR that these are not needed at time of inspection for the pink slip. However, if you want a maintenance approval you have to go back to the FAA after you’ve flown off the hours to get that license or whatever it is called. At that time you’ll need to produce said documents. If you don’t have, you may not be able to be the legal repair guy for your bird.

No expertise on this subject claimed – just what my DAR told me.

Fellows,

Getting close to that time for a DAR.

For those of you who have been there are photos and a builders log a requirement, I went exactly by the manuels so did'nt bother with logs and most of the photos melted in the file cabinet in the hangar.

Any advise before I make the arrangements.
Thanks Wayne Tassin
