The Experimental Aircraft Association has introduced a new,\nonline EAA Builder’s Log, free for all EAA members, to use to document projects\nand demonstrate compliance with the FAA’s 51 percent rule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The online log is now available at EAA.org\/BuildersLog\nfollowing its initial launch at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2019. It allows members\nto post an unlimited number of entries, including photos, text, PDF documents,\nExcel files, and more, to create a detailed record of the work done on either building\nand restoration projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe EAA Builder’s Log is a great way to show your work to\nan FAA inspector or designated airworthiness representative, and to simply have\na searchable reference on your project,\u201d said Charlie Becker, EAA\u2019s director of\nchapters and homebuilding. “Our hope is the EAA Builder’s Log will support\nour homebuilding members, allow them to share useful information, and make it\neasier to document compliance with the 51 percent rule. Additionally, the\nsearchable online log will be a great help to builders who may need to\ntroubleshoot an issue with their aircraft.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Users can follow along other builds, although there is also\na private entry feature that allows some entries to be visible to only the\ncreator of the build log. It’s also possible to document multiple builds at\nonce, and multiple builders can contribute to the log in the case of group\nbuild projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
