<< Team Grumman wrote "I don't mean to be splitting hairs (well, maybe I do)
but, since the AIM (and the Advisory Circulars) are information only, and
not federal regulations, is
it 'really' illegal to use a non-IFR approved GPS?">>
1/1/2006
Hello Team Grumman, I am pleased that you raised this issue. Here is my take
on it:
1) Some Advisory Circulars contain the words "Material in this AC is neither
mandatory or regulatory".
The AIM Preface contains this wording: "This publication, while not
regulatory, provides information which reflects examples of operating
techniques and procedures which may be requirements in other federal
publications or regulations. It is made available solely to assist pilots in
executing their responsibilities required by other publications."
So one could logically conclude that an a priori failure to comply with an
AC or the AIM is not "really illegal".
2) Now let's shift into the real world. Suppose a pilot is involved in an
incident, ramp check,** or accident wherein an AC or the AIM has been
violated and the FAA decides to suspend or revoke the pilot's license.
The pilot appeals to an NTSB judge and the FAA cites 14 CFR Sec. 91.13 (a)
"....No person may operate an aircraft in a careless or reckless manner so
as to endanger the life or property of another." and 14 CFR Sec. 91.103
"Preflight action. Each pilot in command shall, before bginning a flight,
become familiar with all available information concerning that flight." to
support their case.
How do you suppose the NTSB judge is going to rule?

**PS: I recently sat in an audience and listened to the head ASI (Aviation
Safety Inspector) from an FAA FSDO tell how she had been itching for a long
time to run a ramp check on a hot air balloon (the "notch in my pistol grip"
syndrome) and how disappointed she was that she could not find a thing wrong
when she finally got her chance to inspect one. I have also heard stories
(second hand) of ASI's waiting at an airport with a low ceiling or
visibility and interrogating pilots that have just landed.With a mind set
like that among some FAA employees I am not willing to violate an AC or the
AIM without a very deliberate "risk versus reward" examination of the
situation.
PPS: What is a "Team Grumman"?

My No 1 com has developed a loss of audio at takeoff or any time full
power is applied so I think it's something to do with the vibration, it
doesn't happen at cruise settings or idle. Transmission remains OK but
the reception keeps breaking up. The No 2 com doesn't do it so I've
ruled out headsets and audio jack. I've tried swapping radios and that
doesn't help Any suggestions how best to troubleshoot this. Could it be
the connections from the radio to the audio panel or in the audio panel
itself?
Thanks

This symptom is fairly common at high speeds and/or power settings,
and can be caused by breaking squelch on the intercom. It is
especially common if you have an unused headset plugged in, but the
pilot's mike can break squelch too.
Try turning off your intercom to see if this addresses the problem.
My apologies if you've already thought of this.

Dear Lister,
Please read over the Avionics-List Usage Guidelines below. The complete
Avionics-List FAQ including these Usage Guidelines can be found at the
following URL:

Thank you,

******************************************************************************
Avionics-List Usage Guidelines
******************************************************************************
The following details the official Usage Guidelines for the Avionics-List.
You are encouraged to read it carefully, and to abide by the rules therein.
Failure to use the Avionics-List in the manner described below may result
in the removal of the subscribers from the List.
Avionics-List Policy Statement
The purpose of the Avionics-List is to provide a forum of discussion for
things related to this particular discussion group. The List's goals
are to serve as an information resource to its members; to deliver
high-quality content; to provide moral support; to foster camaraderie
among its members; and to support safe operation. Reaching these goals
requires the participation and cooperation of each and every member of
the List. To this end, the following guidelines have been established:
- Please keep all posts related to the List at some level. Do not submit
posts concerning computer viruses, urban legends, random humor, long
lost buddies' phone numbers, etc. etc.
- THINK carefully before you write. Ask yourself if your post will be
relevant to everyone. If you have to wonder about that, DON'T send it.
- Remember that your post will be included for posterity in an archive
that is growing in size at an extraordinary rate. Try to be concise and
terse in your posts. Avoid overly wordy and lengthy posts and
responses.
- Keep your signature brief. Please include your name, email address,
aircraft type/tail number, and geographic location. A short line
about where you are in the building process is also nice. Avoid
bulky signatures with character graphics; they consume unnecessary
space in the archive.
- DON'T post requests to the List for information when that info is
easily obtainable from other widely available sources. Consult the
web page or FAQ first.
- If you want to respond to a post, DO keep the "Subject:" line of
your response the same as that of the original post. This makes it
easy to find threads in the archive.
- When responding, NEVER quote the *entire* original post in your
response. DO use lines from the original post to help "tune in" the
reader to the topic at hand, but be selective. The impact that
quoting the entire original post has on the size of the archive
can not be overstated!
- When the poster asks you to respond to him/her personally, DO NOT
then go ahead and reply to the List. Be aware that clicking the
"reply" button on your mail package does not necessarily send your
response to the original poster. You might have to actively address
your response with the original poster's email address.
- DO NOT use the List to respond to a post unless you have something
to add that is relevant and has a broad appeal. "Way to go!", "I
agree", and "Congratulations" are all responses that are better sent
to the original poster directly, rather than to the List at large.
- When responding to others' posts, avoid the feeling that you need to
comment on every last point in their posts, unless you can truly
contribute something valuable.
- Feel free to disagree with other viewpoints, BUT keep your tone
polite and respectful. Don't make snide comments, personally attack
other listers, or take the moral high ground on an obviously
controversial issue. This will only cause a pointless debate that
will hurt feelings, waste bandwidth and resolve nothing.
- Occassional posts by vendors or individuals who are regularyly
subscribed to a given List are considered acceptable. Posts by
List members promoting their respective products or items for sale
should be of a friendly, informal nature, and should not resemble
a typical SPAM message. The List isn't about commercialism, but
is about sharing information and knowledge. This applies to
everyone, including those who provide products to the entire
community. Informal presentation and moderation should be the
operatives with respect to advertising on the Lists.
