Dan,Craig and I took the repairmans course in IA City two weeks ago. The course will allow us to perform the annual condition inspection on ELSA aircraft that we own. May not do inspection or repair on aircraft one does not own. The course is 16 hrs. -two days followed by written test. Upon completion and passing the written you will get a certificate which you will need to take to the nearest FSDO to get permanent certificate. The course was great and so was the instructer, learned a lot. Would reccomend to anyone whether you intend to do your own annuals or not. The courses are by Rainbow Avaition www.rainbowavaition.com
