Technical Counselor Program

Our new Technical Counselor for Chapter 791 is Rodney Daulton.

An EAA Technical Counselor is an experienced volunteer advisor who shares knowledge and expertise to aircraft builders.  These Technical Counselors are part of the "member helping member" tradition of EAA.  They advise builders on constructing a safe, airworthy aircraft for final FAA inspection.  These volunteers, who offer their services at no charge, are at least one of the following:

• Have built an experimental category aircraft;
• Have restored an antique/classic aircraft;
• Hold an A&P, IA, DAR, DER or Aerospace Engineer rating in the U.S., an equivalent international rating or have the qualifications for those ratings;
• In the case of an ultralight Technical Counselor, have experience and ability to provide technical assistance to ultralight aircraft builders.

These volunteers visit projects and advise builders on how to comply with building instructions and federal regulations.  Technical Counselors offer tips based on their experience and help builders avoid costly mistakes. Through Technical Counselors, EAA helps maintain the excellent reputation of the amateur-built program.  By participating in Technical Counselor Program, you my be eligible for reduced Insurance rates.
