I am within days of getting my Air Worthiness Inspection. I have a
pretty detailed builders log but NO photos of any kind.
The fFAA AW Application Letter specifies log and photos.
Has anybody applied for the inspection with no photos? Any comments
from the feds?

I didn't have a builders log or photos and the Designate didn't even ask for
it. Another person at the time told me I could just initial the plans where
appropriate. Clearly becomes a matter of the inspector you use. A log may
suffice.
Maybe Mike R. can give better ideas.

The photos are to help prove to the inspector that you actually built the
plane in order to get your repairman's certificate. Some inspectors would
prefer to see them, some will be happy with you providing other ways to
prove that you built at least 51% of it. Your log entrys should be plenty
enough proof. In my experience, it just depends on who you are working with
and how you get along with him. When I finished mine, I just had a few
photos from early in the project, and very few from much past the wing kit.
The inspector and I got along and it was no big deal.

It depends on how friendly your AB-DAR is feeling that day. I've known
builders who didn't have a log but none that didn't have photos. Call him
before the inspection and ask.

He'll know in about 5 minutes if you built the plane or not. I've been told by many inspectors while doing research for KitLog, that the pictures are best for showing quality of work in things like wings before they were closed up. If you kept detailed logs with ALOT of pictures, chances are they'll thumb through a few and call it good. The detailed pictures really help later on when sharing with builders at fly ins, resale value, etc. The most important thing is, if you strayed from the plans in any way, and you can't show it outside the aircraft, be sure you have well documented photos to prove your modification would be airworthy and follows all standard construction practices.

The paper should have said phots and/or builder's logs. Anymore, there are so many RV's around that most inspectors already know the airplane qualifies under the 51% rule. All the builder's logs are for is usually proof towards the repairman's certificate. If you are using a DAR you are more likely to need the builder's logs. If you are using an FAA inspector he may be convinced enough that you did the work that he/she may not need the builder's log. I know that it only takes me about 10 minutes of inspection and talking to the builder to determine whether or not he did the work.
