Hi Matt,

The DAR who signed off my Legacy last spring did not require a = gear=20 swing when he did the inspection. He spent about 45 minutes = checking my=20 paperwork and about 45 minutes inspecting the airplane. I had the = cowling=20 and access covers removed and the wheels were sitting on the = ground, not on=20 jacks. He verified that the flight controls were free and = correct and=20 that the throttle, prop, and mixture controls operated smoothly = throughout the=20 full range and that the knobs did not "bottom out" when pushed in all = the=20 way. He spent several minutes looking at the engine.

He did a walk around inspection that was similar to a good = preflight=20 inspection. He did not check torque on any fasteners and did = not=20 check the "witness" holes in rod end bearings. I talked to him a = week=20 before the inspection to make sure that I had the airplane the way = he=20 wanted it before he came to inspect it.

Good luck,
