DAR's , IA's and DPE's all gouge whatever they can in an area. Hell as an A&P id do my annual on certified plane and the idiot IA would want excess cash h to sign it off with nothing done but checking that I checked the AD's!!!

in the early 80's the company i worked for would import the DPE from up north (  a company employee ) until locals discovered the moneybags wouldn't fall in their lap

This IA did you no favors if he signed off the aircraft based on your inspection.  An A&P may delegate you to do work and then sign it off; but an IA may NOT delegate an inspection.  He must perform the inspection himself.

My point exactly, I pay him to read about ad's that years ago that only the IA subscribed to ( a microfiche service) . Today with the internet i don't need him redo my work. I would agree the second set of eyes is nice.  As an A&P I performed 100 hr. inspections using the same checklist and procedures as the annual.. HMMM.. like the guy in one of the prior posts was a DAR with little experience in the type. how about complying with some STC's and the needed payoff, after all how could i read the instructions and follow the directions without financial oil used

do not mention cfi's who make a bi-annual check into a production. I know a guy who was fleeced in a series of flights. If you cant tell in 16 minutes if the guy is competent...give up
