BUILT FOR VAN'S RV, SLING, KITFOX & E-AB BUILDERS • FAA AC 90-89C & ORDER 8130.2J COMPLIANT

You Spent 1,800 Hours Riveting Your Airframe. Don't Let a Messy Paperwork Binder Delay Your Pink Slip.

Your engine is hung, your avionics bus is pinned out, and your Designated Airworthiness Representative (DAR) inspection is 30 days away. Yet most homebuilders spend the final two weeks frantically stitching together broken forum spreadsheets, outdated AC 90-89B PDFs, and generic annual checklists that don't match their airframe's datum or Task-Based Phase I operating limitations.

Airframe-Specific CG Solver

Pre-calibrated datum & arm stations for RV-7/7A/8/10/14, Sling TSi & Kitfox S7 with live Aerobatic vs. Normal envelope plotting.

Module 02 // AC 90-89C
Task-Based Phase I Cards

Generates kneeboard-ready test cards for all 17 FAA AC 90-89C flight test profiles with automated V-speed & CHT/EGT trend logging.

Module 03 // 14 CFR Part 43
Condition Inspection Matrix

80+ zonal inspection checkpoints mapped to 14 CFR Part 43 Appendix D with torque specs, squawk disposition, and progress tracking.

Module 04 // Order 8130.2J
DAR & Logbook Sign-Offs

One-click verbatim logbook endorsements for Phase I completion, Repairman Certificate inspection sign-offs, and Form 8130-6 letters.

The Old Way (Why DAR Inspections Stall)

40 Hours Lost to Broken Forum Spreadsheets

  • ✕ Mismatched Reference Datums: Copy-pasting an anonymous Excel sheet with a 60-inch datum instead of Van's 70.0-inch forward-of-leading-edge datum corrupts your entire CG envelope.
  • ✕ Obsolete Flight Test Handbooks: Showing up with a generic 40-hour time-drill binder that ignores the FAA's updated AC 90-89C Task-Based Phase I provisions.
  • ✕ Non-Compliant Logbook Endorsements: Missing a single mandatory phrase required by your Operating Limitations when transitioning out of Phase I or signing off your annual condition inspection.

VAN'S RV-7 // LYCOMING IO-360-M1B

"My DAR spent 12 minutes reviewing my AeroBuild W&B envelope and AC 90-89C Task-Based Flight Test Binder, smiled, and said it was the cleanest amateur-built documentation package he'd inspected all year."

— Mark D., EAA Technical Counselor & RV-7 Builder (Paine Field, WA)
VAN'S RV-10 // LYCOMING IO-540

"With 4 seats and baggage compartments, computing aft CG corner cases on the RV-10 during Phase I ballast testing used to take me an hour in Excel. Here it's interactive and prints straight to my kneeboard."

— Capt. Sarah K., ATP & RV-10 Builder (Centennial, CO)
SLING TSi // ROTAX 915iS

"The 14 CFR Part 43 Appendix D Condition Inspection tracker paid for itself on my very first annual with my Repairman Certificate. Every cotter pin, control cable tension check, and logbook endorsement is right there."

— David L., Sling TSi Builder (Torrance, CA)

Frequently Asked Technical Questions

1. Does this support the FAA's Task-Based Phase I flight test program under AC 90-89C?

Yes. In addition to traditional 25-hour (certificated engine/propeller combination) and 40-hour operating limitation schedules, Module 2 generates the complete 17-task test card syllabus aligned with FAA Advisory Circular AC 90-89C and FAA Order 8130.2J so you can document each flight test objective methodically.

2. Can I customize the empty-weight CG arms if my battery or ELT is mounted in a custom location?

Absolutely. While we pre-load the exact factory reference datum and station arms for Van's RV-7/7A/8/10/14, Sling TSi, and Kitfox S7, every weight station arm (in inches aft of datum) and empty-weight moment is editable in real time.

3. Does my data stay private, and does it work offline in a metal hangar?

Yes. The entire application executes client-side in your browser with zero cloud latency, saves state locally, and allows one-click JSON file export/import plus native print/PDF binder generation.

TITLE: Built a browser-based RV-7/8/10/14 W&B Envelope + AC 90-89C Task-Based Phase I Card Generator (No Excel required)

Fellow builders — after watching too many folks wrestle with mismatched 15-year-old forum spreadsheets right before their DAR inspection, I put together an interactive, browser-based Weight & Balance CG Envelope solver and AC 90-89C Task-Based Phase I flight test card generator.

What it does out of the box:
1. Pre-loads the exact factory reference datum (e.g., 70.0" forward of wing leading edge on the RV-7/8/14, 69.0" on the RV-10) and plots your live Takeoff-to-Zero-Fuel burn vector against both the Normal and Aerobatic CG boxes.
2. Generates a 10-card kneeboard Phase I flight test syllabus mapped directly to FAA AC 90-89C (from first-flight cooling orbits to Forward/Aft CG expansion and Vx/Vy sawtooth climbs).
3. Includes a 14 CFR Part 43 Appendix D zonal Condition Inspection tracker and one-click verbatim logbook sign-offs (14 CFR 91.319(b) & Form 8130-6 Program Letter).

It runs 100% client-side in your browser (works offline on a hangar iPad) and exports clean JSON backups or print-ready PDF binders. You can run the interactive W&B calculator and 60-second DAR Readiness Scorecard for free here: https://aerobuildledger.com

Would love any feedback from fellow RV builders, Technical Counselors, or DARs on additional airframe presets to add next!

SUBJECT: Complimentary DAR / EAA Technical Counselor License — AeroBuild Ledger (AC 90-89C & W&B Binder Tool)

Hi [Inspector/Counselor Name],

As a fellow RV-7 pilot and flight test engineer here in the Pacific Northwest, I know the #1 friction point during an Experimental Amateur-Built airworthiness inspection is walking into a hangar to find mismatched reference datums, incomplete Form 8130-6 program letters, or generic flight test plans that ignore AC 90-89C's Task-Based Phase I standards.

I built AeroBuild Ledger (https://aerobuildledger.com) so builders can generate an accurate, airframe-specific Weight & Balance CG envelope, a 10-card AC 90-89C Phase I flight test binder, and verbatim 14 CFR Part 43 Appendix D logbook sign-offs in 15 minutes.

Because EAA Technical Counselors and DARs set the standard for builder safety, I unlocked a permanent, complimentary Multi-Airframe Pro license for your chapter/inspection work:
License Key: AB-DARVIP-002026

Feel free to use it with builders you mentor or share the free 60-second DAR Pre-Inspection Readiness Scorecard with anyone scheduling an inspection over the next 90 days.

Blue skies,
Tyler Wilson
