at minimum it will require an A&P to sign it off, possibly an IA will be required if the engine model was not available with a spin on filter. if it was its a simple log book entry. if the weight change is less than 1 lb a new weight and balance will not be required. you can do the work your...

give JB engines in sebring FL a call. jimmy has good connections to getting cores and his outright engine prices are good. they build a great engine.

182's are famous for having bent firewalls. people don't know how to fly them properly. a good pre-buy would discover a problem like that. a good prebuy should find any high dollar problems with the exception of engine problems. there is really no way of knowing if a major engine problem is...

you seem to be mixing up what is really happening. speeds from the POH are determined by physics. they are a target. how you get to that target is a event that is constantly changing in three dimensions. the goal in landing is to maintain glide path and maintain the proper airspeed. that is...

if you want to call it a minor, that's up to you as an A&P. as to common sense maintenance, have you done any testing or have any data to show that your tractor light is not pumping out so much electrical noise that your radios, transponder, adsb or gps is not getting effected? there is more...

yes they are. you really don't understand the idea of a standard part. its this simple. the manufacture puts the part in the plane, the plane is certified, that part becomes a certified part. now, the FAA says, "that is a 4313 bulb. it meets SAE specs for a 4313, so any bulb manufactured under...

there a re plenty of cases where certificate actions were taken for unapproved part, granted, i doubt they would go after a certificate for a landing light. however, the point is they could, and do you want to fight the FAA. under the FAA SUP program there are a lot of documents that discuss...

again, drop in replacement, no mention that it is a specific number, only par 36, the sae number given is the standard for lead free construction not the bulb standard. also figure 66b of the bonanza IPC calls out the bulb number. you want aviation grade, to quote tommy calahan, " i can take a...

use what ever you want, just remember your ticket is on the line when the FAA askes for documentation that the part is approved.

worthless for an aircraft. all it says is that it is the same size as a 4509. as i have said, an LED cannot be called a 4509 because the standards to define a 4509 cannot be used to evaluate a LED light, thats a different standard. you notice it only say can replace a 4509, yea, its the same size.

this gets very deep and involved, but it all comes down to FMVSS (federal motor vehicle safety standards) that is the controlling regulations on vehicle lighting standards. years ago, SAE was about the only standards organization out there as far as motor vehicles are concerned. there are a lot...

true, but they have to be a "standard part" thats what the SAE standard is all about for light bulbs. anyone manufacturing a light bulb numbered as a say, 4509 must meet the SAE standard for that number. PAR 36 led replacements are not manufactured to that standard, because SAE has a different...

its a government thing, changing it is easy, the paperwork..... thats another story.....

no. par stands for parabolic aluminized reflector #36 its a size standard not an SAE standard such as a GE4313. using any old par36 led from tractor city does not cut it. a lot of parts manuals state the bulb number such as GE4509. technically, since led bulbs are made to a different SAE...

i disagree with them. 100% will have a screen problem. the question is when. UV is a killer to the screens. low use aircraft that live in a hangar will probably never see a problem in the owners lifetime. but, park one on the ramp in the southwest without protection and in the heat, the screen...

first, its going to be expensive any way you go. equipment plus install will probably cost more than the airplane. the skyview is great, i have one. however, realistically your looking at north of 20k plus install and that is without a IFR GPS. to make a HDX a real IFR platform requires two...

i realize that he stated 100k, but i am amazed that 70 posts in and nobody has said "BO"

no increase in dangerous pilots flying airplanes? so you don't read the medical section of this board? how many questions a week are there about getting a medical with know mental issues, drug use issues, and alcohol issues? you don't see some of these people as becoming dangerous pilots if...

the biggest gotcha is regretting that you sold your corvette (RV-8) and bought a mini-van (pa28 or c172)

gotta love it when someone comments on a thread that has been dead for 19 years................
