Greetings,

I'm in northern Minnesota and I need to pick a DAR to work with during my 750 build. I'd like to hear about anyone's experiences with their DAR in the Minnesota area.

Please email me directly if you would prefer not to post on the list. All private emails will remain confidential.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Raymond,

I learned this lesson the hard way. You can learn from my mistake.

There are two distinct kinds of DARS - manufacturing DARS and maintenance DARS. Either one can inspect your E-AB plane and issue an airworthiness certificate, but at least where I live (Washington state) there is a huge difference in how much it will cost you and how long it will take to schedule your inspection.

Each MIDO has a list of manufacturing DARS reporting to them. Each FSDO has maintenance DARs that report to them. So you contact your local MIDO to find a manufacturing DAR and FSDO to find a maintenance DAR.

Now the punchline - you want a maintenance DAR. Mine charged $300 and showed up in a couple of days. The manufacturing DARs I contacted wanted a minimum of $1600 and about 6 months to schedule a visit.

Good luck,

Paul

Paul,

Thanks VERY much for the tip. I just talked to the MSDO, so I'll be sure to talk to the FSDO from now on.
