I'm planning on dissassembling my A-65 and sending the parts out for
inspection and repair/replacement.
I would really like to assemble the engine.
I understand an A&P needs to inspect as I go along.
Can anyone describe at what points I would need to bring the engine to
my A&P for his approval and what would he do? - Mike


It all depends on the A&P.

He/she might want you to do the whole thing in his/her shop while he/she
stands over your shoulder. He/she may just want to look in on things and
ask questions now and again. Or the A&P might just laugh and tell you no
effing way.

Remember, it's the A&P's signature in the book - not yours.

The better thing to do is start with small stuff until the A&P knows your
work and has some confidance in it.


I hear you. It's almost an impossible question. I'll have to talk with
my A&P; Thanks, Mike
