FAA is coming Monday for a certification inspection of my RV-4. One of the things he wants is a form 8000-3"Fabrication and Assembly Operational Checklist"
It's just a long list of things you need to build and do to make an airplane. You check rather they were done by the builder or by the kit manufacturer and at the end just add them up, from what I can understand it is used to determine if the kit meets the 51% rule ( this guy has obviously never seen a early RV-4 kit!!) Nothing about outside assistance.
The EAA certification rule does not mention form 8000-3. Has anyone come across this before? Do I fill the thing out or does he, who knows? Seems like he could look on the FAA's list of approved kits and see that the RV-4 has been on it since 1984.
Anyone dealt with this?
It's his sandbox, I'm just playing in it.
Thanks,
Skip
RV-4 #1904 (soon I hope)
