EAA Wins Approval for Vinatage DERs

EAA's Vintage Aircraft Association (VAA) and the FAA has announced a new program to authorize Designated Engineering Representatives (DER) for vintage aircraft. When a vintage airplane needs a major fixing and needs a new part, the DER approves the engineering data, certifying that the data are consistent with or superior to the original data. Under the new program Vintage Designated Engineering Representatives (VDER), the FAA will designate people who will cover vintage aircraft.

People who want to apply for VDER certification email vintage@eaa.org before submitting an application to the appropriate aircraft certification office.
