Flight Advisors:
Flight Advisors are EAA member-volunteers who can help you evaluate your own flying
skills. They won't give you "yes" or "no" on your flight abilities,
but help you develop guidelines for making your decision. If you need more instruction in
a certain type of airplane, a Flight Advisor can help you find it. If you choose to have a
test pilot fly your airplane instead, a Flight Advisor can help you find and evaluate
other pilots. Flight Advisors also have the resources of EAA available to assist you.
To qualify to become an EAA Flight
Advisor, you must be a current member of EAA and conform to any one
of the following experience measures:
- First flights or test flown three or
more aircraft (homebuilt, restoration or ultralight).
- Built/restored and test flew own
aircraft and

EAA Technical
Counselors: 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.
