We're doing some tidy up jobs, and the conductive cement on our boots needs renovating. We'll MEK it out, remove any oxides and corrosion and repaint. We know the technique of using the roll to pull the tape as you go etc. Questions, I know the cement can be brushed onto bare metal (well thats...

Regarding a Southwind 940B12 heater... (on my FAA registered PA23 but based in U.K) Has anyone managed to get one of these successfully overhauled recently? I have tried the only company that seem able to do this within the UK (where the aircraft is currently based) and we have run into a...

Thanks for the help guys and answering the questions asked. I just wanted to check I had understood all properly prior to submitting the form to OKC. Purely for interest: The work was carried out and documented by the A&P who asked the IA to sign off on it. The IA has signed both blocks for...

I'm still not clear - will OKC accept a clear & good copy, or will they expect the original inked copy? Sorry guys, one reply states put the original in the aircraft papers, and another seems to suggest keep a copy and send the original.

Thanks Stewart, confirms what I had understood from the items I had found on the subject as well. When they called me up 6 weeks after, they were telling me it is MY responsibility to file! Am I going to get in a whole heap of trouble over this? Can anyone advise if the submitted 337 needs...

Some work has been completed on an aircraft I am the owner/operator of. An STC was added and a Form 337 (handwritten version not electronic) drawn up for the work carried out to the approved data. I received a single copy in original ink, signed by the IA in question. 6 weeks later I received...

Glad it was a bad probe, great news!

Can't see any obvious info in the Service Manual mentioning balancing of the control myself... I'll sit and see what the A&P and IA decide between them?? (nothing is a simple as it seems in aircraft maintenance!)

Without depressing you, is it possible you have an subtle engine issue on that #4 cylinder that is giving you a lower EGT reading compared to the other 3? I'm no expert at all and may have misunderstood but reading your post, it suggests you eliminated the monitor and harness, and that any of...

?? The part balanced, or you mean the aircraft balanced (weight and balance)

Thanks so much for your information. I checked FAR 43 and Appendix A prior as well, but wanted to make sure I understood properly and clearly. When you state the aircraft should be Returned to Service prior to flight test, do you mean I should see the Form 337 completed AND an entry in the...

I am just checking I have the correct understanding of the requirements for the following repair: The aircraft is operated privately and non-commercial, is on Standard (Normal Category) Airworthiness. Last annual was 27th September 2015 and it was fully signed off as usual. A few weeks ago I...

I must say, for a lot of things, the FAA do have a very much "can do" attitude and appear to apply common sense. Sadly on this side of the Atlantic, we do seem to have some silly rules. Recently our CAA have started taking a look at GA, pretty much the Part 91 type, operations and are trying...

Thanks for the reassurance I am not misunderstanding things here. Unfortunately, over here in the UK, I need to be careful not to "upset" the A&P too much as he is the only one working with my european maintenance shop, and it would be a right royal pain in the butt to have to move maintenance...

Thanks Brian

So in summary, you need a WAAS capable 430/530 to feed the 330ES ? Was the deadline for installing Mode S ES in 2019, or am I mistaken?

I asked for a rule number as I can't find reference to this, oddly he can't provide one... The european system generally works with a tech log being kept detailing the aircraft's movements, then these being copied into the maintenance book for the airframe, at least in the UK. As you can...

I could really do with advice and to find out what is considered "normal" in relation to keeping of an aircrafts flight/journey records under the FARs. I fly a US-registered light twin, in the UK. I have read the FARs and thought I had a reasonable understanding of this area. I have made...
