What is a DAR?
A Designated Airworthiness Representative, or DAR, is a private individual appointed in accordance with the Code of Federal Regulations (CFRs), specifically 14CFR , § 183.33, who may perform examination, inspection and testing services necessary to the issuance of certificates. There are two types of DARs - a manufacturing DAR (DAR-F) and a maintenance DAR (DAR-T).
A DAR-F performs conformity, certifying and airworthiness activities during the research, development and manufacturing processes for new production aircraft.
A DAR-T provides certifying and airworthiness activities on a recurrent basis for aircraft that are already in service.
Peterseim Aerospace Consulting provides both DAR-F and DAR-T services. Let us know how we can help move your program forward.

A DAR is responsible for upholding the FAA's standards and, consequently, is under no obligation to certify any aircraft, article or assembly that does not meet the requirements of the appropriate Code of Federal Regulations (CFRs). Payment of services is required regardless of the outcome of the certification process. If issues arise outside of our control, we will continue to provide services at the agreed-to rate to ensure satisfactory completion of the certification process.
