The inspector is wrong. The Repairman certificate doesn't have anything to do with maintenance on an EAB aircraft. It allows a non A&P to perform the annual condition inspection on the 1 aircraft it is for. Anyone can perform maintenance on an EAB aircraft with the owners permission.
Being correct does not mean however that you can win the argument. If you want to pursue changing the inspectors mind contact the EAA and speak with them about it this is the kind of thing they do. EAA 800-564-6322 Good luck, Deems Herring A&P, IA EAA member 663980 P.S. there is no reason to remove the data plate from the engine, I hope you still have it. Ok, so I met with the EAB inspector from Baltimore today and got my operating limitations for my Smith. I have to go into phase 1 for 5 hours because of the new engine. SO I asked about getting the repairman cert for the engine. I built this O-235 and removed the data plate. The inspector said I could not get one and have to have the engine signed off by an A&P. I did not build the airplane but the engine I did and I can prove it. Still no go he says. Am I wrong or is he wrong?
