hey @wsquare ah thank you for the compliment :) you know when I first contacted them, I got the reply from their 'customer service' rep (jack) to basically bugger off as this was not a priority and I should fire up a virtual machine or get a windows comp (like you did:). I went away with my tail...

can you share a screenshot of some difficulties you are facing? I cross compiled the windows exe through osx/m2 but didnt get a chance to test it. It's probably my bad (laziness) and should fire up a windows dev machine with visual studio to do it correctly and post it as such... But maybe you...

yah had same thing, but for a $1k headset and the brand itself, I cannot accept this easily... Would call them up and ask for expedited repair (you need to do that ahead of time and mark the box with a red X), you have a legitimate reason being a CFI. If you'd express your disappointment, they...

let me try old school gopher reply, as that poa func doesn't work well for me :) you: Let me try it this way… no rule, no requirement. This goes toward understanding how the aviation regulatory system works. And given some of your answers here, if you were to increase your knowledge on this you...

Never mind Bell209, think your post #9 said it all: the stipulation seems to be an ALS, but it also seems to apply to only newer engines and not ones that pre-dated it.

See, thats the thing... it does not give me that black and white answer... My AP/AI says that unless there is a stipulation in your insurance for coverage, you don't have to. It is a guidance. This also confirmed by the video shared earlier from savvy. exactly! as in my original profession...

gotcha and fair point. its all such a grey area, because if you have an entry in your logbook, especially after an annual, stating that the aircraft and engine are in airworthy condition, one would assume one is in the green... but to your point, its good to point out if you know something for...

aha i see, thanks for that detail. I would reckon, or is it fair to assume that the AP/IA, that does an annual or works on your plane to be in the know of such compliance?

I think I found the answer, it should be documented in the aircraft maintenance manual. It it also seems from other posts that the ALS would then only apply for engines built after that time when the ALS was issued.

I googled the heck out of it, but could not find anything more conclusive, hence me trying to solicit the input of our fine forum for additional inputs...

ah superb! great info again, thank you so much! If I have an ALS, where would that be documented precisely? in the Engine log?

aha thanks for that! that video was quite revealing (for me) btw, that there is no need to do it, and in fact it is a waste of time, effort and dough. I think the general guidance of the oil inspections which I do religiously etc are probably tell you more when it is due for something.

could you elaborate? that is precisely the question I was posing. in the video shared by Geoff (and what fracpilot also says), it is stated that if the AP/IA signs off the engine it is airworthy and that full-fills the rule by the FAA, no?

that was an interesting one thanks for sharing!! as long as it is legally the same :) And yeah you really need to watch this 2x speed :) haha!! thanks again!

(IO-360-C1C, 2000 TBO) My engine is running towards 1400 SMOH (/500 STOH). I started to wonder if one is required to an overhaul or not for the legality. My insurance states that the airplane needs to be an in airworthy condition. I checked the FAA documentation and that is rather vague as to...
