The first inspection of a homebuilt aircraft conducted under the
FAA’s new volunteer amateur-built designated airworthiness
representative (AB-DAR) program was completed last week. Joe
Gauthier, who was designated an AB-DAR under the new program,
inspected an RV-6 built by David Faile, EAA and NAFI member, master
flight instructor, and professional pilot from Fairfield (CT).
