Dear Listers,
Some have asked, "What's my Contribution used for?", and this is
certainly a valid question. Here are just a few examples of what
your direct List support enables. It provides for the very
expensive, business-class, high-speed T1 Internet connection used on
the List, insuring maximum performance and minimal contention when
accessing List services. It pays for the regular system hardware and
software upgrades enabling the highest performance possible for
services such as the Archive Search Engine and List Browser. It pays
for 16+ years worth of online archive data available for instant
random access. And, it offsets the many hours spent writing,
developing, and maintaining the custom applications that power this
List Service such as the List Browse, Search Engine, and PhotoShare.
But most importantly, your List Contribution enables a forum where
you and your peers can communicate freely in an environment that is
free from moderation, censorship, advertising, commercialism, SPAM,
and computer viruses. How many places on the Internet can you make
all those statements about these days? I will venture to say - next to none...
It is YOUR CONTRIBUTION that directly enables these many desirable
aspects of this most valuable List service. Please support it today
with your List Contribution. Its one of the best investments you can
make in your Sport...

--> AnPMech-List message posted by: alan@reichertech.com
Hello, All!
Please pardon this intrusion. This note is not specific to your
particular list, but regardless of what you are building, restoring, or
flying, an issue exists that could potentially affect all of you who fly
in the United States. That issue is the Washington DC ADIZ.
This ADIZ was put into effect as a temporary protective measure for
Washington DC airspace after 9/11. There is now an NPRM out to make this
airspace *permanent*.
The original comment period for this NPRM expired yesterday, November 2.
However, the FAA has now extended the comment period for another 90 days,
so if you did not get your comments in, HERE IS YOUR CHANCE!
Information on the ADIZ, and why we are fighting it, can be found here:
http://www.aopa.org/adizalert/
I live underneath the current DC ADIZ, so I get to play with this every
time I fly. The AOPA page above gives a good summary of what has happened
in this area since it's inception.
Help on formulating comments for this NPRM can be found here:
http://www.aopa.org/adizalert/help.html
Comments on this NPRM can be submitted (online) to the DOT here:
http://dms.dot.gov/submit/
Instructions on how to navigate and fill out the DOT page to submit your
comments are available here:
http://www.aopa.org/adizalert/faa_help.html
There are over 18000 comments against this NPRM at this time. If yours is
not one of them, please take the time now to submit your comments; every
one helps. If this ADIZ becomes permanent, then there could be an ADIZ
coming to an airspace near you in the future!
I thank Matt for allowing me to send this to you. Even if you don't live
near the DC area, please do what you can to protect your flying
priviledges... submit your comments!
Regards,

I am an A&P part 147 tech school student (have my Airframe, almost finished with
Powerplant)
Our school has a Dynamic Solutions Systems vibration test set and yesterday a representative
from Dynamic Solutions gave a talk and hands on demo of prop balancing,
rotor balancing, etc.
What a slick piece of test equipment (expensive too!!)
Anyway, I had asked the rep if the balancing of a prop that required say holes
to be drilled in the spinner backing plate to add weights would be considered
a minor or major alteration.
He said that in his experience, it depends on what FSDO you are dealing with.
One thing I have learned already is how inconsistent the Feds are!!!!
I was just wondering what the experiences of you folks on the A&P list has been
with regard to this?
Thanks,
Bill

I have the ACES prop balancer and their FAA-approved manual requires a 337
if you add weight. From their manual...
"Modification of the spinner bulkhead, either by drilling or adding weights
in the form of nuts, bolts, washers, or any combination thereof, requires
the completion of FAA Form 337 for return to service."

=====================
Bill:
Real Life answer here. YES! Each FSDO has its own ... Let's call them
uniquities. They are all familiar with prop balancing. So if all you put down
in
the 337 was, "Attached 8.5 Gram and 14.0 Gram respectively, balance weights at
the 12 O'clock and 7 O'clock position on the geared flywheel." That would be
enough. Since there was NO Fabrication and NO weighable amount of material
removal it would be considered a MINOR Alteration.
There are many circumstances where even a large amount of work is considered
MINOR Alterations. Consider doing a reupholster job. That is minor.
