My FX-3 first build week is a month away and I have just found out that a repairman certificate is not automatically issued when the aircraft is certificated.

I now understand that a repairman certificate can only be issued by an FAA FSDO and not by the DAR who does the airworthiness certification.

I would like to hear from FX-3 builders who applied for a repairman certificate. Which FSDO did you use and what, if any, problems were experienced? Any other tips on getting a repairman certificate issued for an FX-3?

Thanks,

Andy
