What are the two types of Designated Airworthiness Representatives (DAR)?

• A. Designated Airworthiness Representative (DAR-L) and Authorized (DAR-A)
• B. Type (DAR-T) and Trial (DAR-TR)
• C. Manufacturing (DAR-F) and Maintenance (DAR-T)
• D. Dual Authorization Representative (DAR-DR) and Designated (DAR-D)

Answer: (C)

The two types of Designated Airworthiness Representatives are aligned with where they work: manufacturing and maintenance. A DAR-F, Designated Airworthiness Representative for Manufacturing, is authorized to verify that products and aircraft conform to the approved design during production and to certify conformity as part of the manufacturing process. A DAR-T, Designated Airworthiness Representative for Maintenance, handles inspections and approvals related to maintenance, alterations, or repairs, certifying airworthiness after those activities are completed. This separation ensures FAA standards are applied consistently at both production facilities and maintenance/repair locations. The other option groups use designations that do not exist, so they don’t represent recognized DAR roles.
