    Subject: Logging Engine Hours
    From: "Alan Carter" <alancarteresq@onetel.net>
    Hello ALL. I am a new member to the Forum, My name is Alan and i live in England in the County of Kent, my nearest Airfield is Headcorn which has a grass runway. I am not a builder but a retired pilot now 66 so decided to spend every penny on a new car and an aeroplane before the Tax man takes it to pay for my Old Folks Home, so i have my first aircraft G-PEGY Mono to Tri Conversion. My Question , G-PEGY has a FLYdat which start timing after the first impulse . This has been recorded in the log book, the aircraft has 330 Airframe and 408 hours on the engine, All the flying i have done in the past i have reduced the Tacko reading by 10 mins which has been standard practice, Rotax are logging all engine run time. Is this right ? Many thanks Alan Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=377094#377094

    Yes Alan, you are quite correct, Flydat records all engine running time.

    Hi Trev and All. OK Flydat records ALL, At the beginning of the log book they have taken off 10 min per flight, then there is a jump from say 45 hrs to 65 hrs this is when the FLYdat was installed and a correction made so the FLYdat has taken into account the earlier flights adding back the 10 mins so now has the correct number in total. So on a Europa just what times should be recorded in the log books,? Airframe, Flight time only ? Engine, Start till Stop? Propeller, ??????

    Ian, Thanks for the heads-up. Just found the listing on the LAA website this evening. That's a tough site on which to navigate or find anything. I installed the Schicke GR6 this morning. Since I hadn't located the Mod till this evening, I used the Schicke supplied circuit diagram of course. What is the reasoning behind the changes made by the LAA? I had also installed a B&C under/over voltage warning circuit so that makes the LED in the Schicke circuit redundant. Do you know if it is necessary for the function of the regulator? I would think not. I haven't had an opportunity to run the engine to check it out yet. Hopefully tomorrow morning. Blue skies & tailwinds, Bob Borger Europa XS Tri, Rotax 914, Airmaster C/S Prop.

You will be pleased to know that the Schicke GR6 voltage regulator has been approved. The Mod details are in the Rotax standard mods section on the LAA web site Number, SM12970 Note that the circuit diagram differs slightly from the diagram supplied by Schicke. The LAA circuit should be used. Ian Rickard G-IANI XS Trigear, 300hours Europa Club Mods Specialist e-mail g-iani@ntlworld.com
