Does anyone have a link to a document that states the minimum requirements for the Airframe Data plate?



All the government documents that I've found so far are gibberish and refer to the engine.  I know that some kit manufacturers sell data plates for the individual builder to have engraved and install and I have seen them in use so they must meet some minimum requirements.



What I'm specifically interested in is the requirement for accuracy of the date of manufacture.  My airframe is built and registered - but not yet declared airworthy.  I need to have the plate installed prior to airworthiness inspection - so I'll need to have it engraved prior....what data do I put there?



Thanks,

Ralph

I just put the month and year I anticipated the inspection to be within.

The DAR never even looked at it.

With no data to support it (nothing I could find at the time), I used 
	


the date that the airplane was 'finished' and ready for inspection.

Question about serial #'s....

I've "heard" here and there that FAA wants the serial # to match the 

builders number. I don't think is is that way but It shouldn't matter if 

I wanted to register with serial # 17BYLOS does it?

Shouldn't make a rat's butt of difference.  It just has to be unique 

within the system

Permanent attached Fireproof Data Plate with  		Builder's Name (Make), Model Designation, and Builder's Serial Number.



The above info MUST match the registration info that is on the 8050-3 that comes from Oklahoma City.



The MODEL and Serial Number can be anything that you like but the only model with the serial number that you assign. If your aircraft is an RV-?, then it is best to use the builder's number that Van's assigned. IF you purchase a kit from Van but register it as "YOUR NAME Special", the S/N can be anything you want or the number that Van assigned.

Actually, the fed DOES want you to use van's type designation and serial number.  They want it that way so that it is easier to compile accident / safety stats.  Apparently, making a note in their report that the Whiz-Bang 5000 was actually kitted as an RV-x is more than they can achieve.  However, the pertinent thing here is that they WANT you to do that.  You don't HAVE to do that.  You may wonder how I know this....

Ralph,

  

 Per FAR 45 there are only three things required on the airframe dataplate.  The Make, model, and serial number are those three things.  Anything else is up to you.
