I remember Bill O'Brien's writings on owner produced parts, I don't have a copy but it sure seemed liberal. After all, since no one can actually see the type certificate, how can anybody ever say that a part (or an airplane for that matter) conforms to the type certificate? Metal testing of...

Didn't B&C get in trouble years ago for selling backup alternators clearly marked for the experimental market but were being used in normal certified aircraft? From what I read at the time it seemed the FAA really picked on them.

I am on a different planet from many of you. I own a $25k old cessna, want to put the new big Dynon in the middle of the panel. I got a quote for $6000 a for the stc and the metal panels, I presume cut for my new layout. No installation, no parts other than the panel. That's 25 percent of my...

Thank you all so far. My IA thinks its minor, I just don't want to get grounded somewhere or have an issue when she wins the lottery and moves away. My friend of a friend rebuilds B17's and may owe me a favor. I got the impression that his contact had the kind of authority to approve...

The Cessna Cardinal series aircraft have a sheet metal panel in which holes are punched for the instruments, in addition to the standard avionics opening. It is considered "structural" because it is fully riveted in place (I am not talking about the plastic overlay). I would like to cut the...

what is faa position on cbd use for pain management

I don't know the answers to your questions. But when I was considering installation of a 155 or 300xl, I found lots on the internet talking about using a simply dpdt and mom switch, plus some lights, AS LONG AS YOU AREN'T SWITCHING YOUR CDI. TThe 12v annunciators cost almost as much as the...

I am looking for some real information on the legality of cbt for pain management and flying.

As a practical matter, mostly to satisfy maintenance personnel, is there any better alternative to a copy or scan? I guess the jurat made at the same time as the copy is made might be a little stronger, have any of you taken it a step up? Especially, if you go to sell...tia

Thanks for the replies. In the AC it appears that an owner affidavit of time in service is specifically allowed, if it can't be determined otherwise. AD compliance and other "life" limited items are not addressed other than its a problem and might require re-doing to confirm. What I am trying...

I can't find this answer by searching. I have a paper copy of my log book. In the event the actual paper logs are lost, how do I establish my copy to the satisfaction of an AP or IA? Assuming no one else has them in their database, what would you professionals insist upon? My initial thought...

Is there any requirement that the co pilot report your infraction, since he knows about it personally? And if he does not, do you have a duty to report his failure?

Is there any lobbying effort to get the FAA to enact the allowance of conversion to experimental like status (technically, redesignation as Primary Non-Commercial) as per (page 40 et seq.) the 6-5-2013 "Recommendations for increasing the safety of small general aviation airplanes...

How does carb jetting relate to the mixture control? Is it that the jetting needs to be close, then the mixture control fine tunes the air fuel ratio? Thanks Skip

I believe a change of spinner (to another PMA spinner) and bulkhead can be considered a minor alteration. I would like to use a composite spinner approved by stc for later models of my type, along with the spinner bulkhead that was used in the later model from the factory. My parts book...

My context is whether a change of spinner is a major alteration, and does the vintage aircraft parts substitution advisory circular help support a change of spinner as being a minor alteration. Specifically, I want to use a TCBS composite spinner (approved by stc on a later model of my aircraft...

Am I correct that the spinner and spinner bulkheads are considered a part of the airframe, rather than a part of the engine or propeller?

Thank you all for the thoughts. I am budget limited. Any FAA issues with installing one of the autopilots that is optional on the original equipment list? Skip Simpson
