Well today marked another pretty big milestone for me. Gary Towner (DAR) drove down from Overgaard today, and performed |
|
an inspection of N519PJ. Gary had all of the parperwork ready, except for the affidavit, that I had to have notarized, and we |
|
began by completing the required forms. Made appropriate entry in my (new) Airframe log book, and then we moved to the |
|
inspection. Gary's primary focus and concern was the flight controls. we began inside of the cockpit, and then proceeded outside |
|
to all of the flight surfaces and connections. His next stop was the firewall forward area. I pointed out to him one item I noticed |
|
yesterday, where I hadn't sealed (RTV) a firewall passthrough. Gary spent about 1 1/2 hours on the inspection, and didn't note |
|
any squawks. We moved back to finalize the A/W certificate, and went through the Ops Limitations. Gary gave me a REALLY |
|
big Phase 1 test area. Essentially DVT to Kingman, to Laughlin (Colorado River) down the river to Parker then SouthEast all the |
|
way to Casa Grande, then back west of PHX (Goodyear, Glendale) and back to DVT. Gary helped walk me thrugh the |
|
repairmans cert application, and then handed me the A/W cert and the Ops Lim and made the official entry in the Airframe |
