me go through the entire process as though it was a new ship and

different FSDO employees. *There were drafts, final papers and then
corrections and updates. *When it was time for the inspection, both of

personnel, not a DAR, and there was no cost other than lost time.

When I moved from California to New Jersey, I assumed that there would
be considerable hassle, but the Teterboro folks just asked for copies
of the Burbank paperwork and, a few weeks later, a new registration
appeared from Oklahoma. *I have the Burbank paperwork in digital form
and would be happy to send it to you when I get home on Monday if it
will help to explain things to your DAR. Jim Skydel registered a ship
with Burbank a few weeks before I did and having his paperwork and the
benefit of his experience was a great help.

BTW, my dealings with the Scottsdale FSDO in 2001 and the Teterboro
FSDO in 2007 were efficient and pleasant, Burbank less so.

The California FSDO I used was Van Nuys, not Burbank. The two towns
tend to run together in my ancient brain. Sorry for any confusion.

have a brand new glider, now registered with the FAA, it has a factory

flight test and Export C of A from Germany, and I need the C of A
described above. He told me that because it was *experimental*, there
was a whole lot more work for him to do, a lot of information
gathering and paperwork, and it would cost $650, instead of the $200
he first quoted for a standard C of A.

I thought this would be a simple inspection and a little paperwork,
not more than 1 or 2 hours of their time. What am I missing? (Or, what
are they missing?)
