    Subject: landing light - anyone fitted one, UK MOD?
    From: "graeme bird" <graeme@gdbmk.co.uk>
    I have just submitted my paper work for my annual and had fitted a landing light in the air intake. LAA have asked for MOD 2 for it. Fair enough. Has anyone done this in the UK or the world to bolster the application? See pic of the sealed unit I have used - high intensity with lens but only 250mA and sealed and aluminium. I have a job to get my engine beyond 80 deg most of the year so am not too concerned about the small air obstruction to the water/oil radiator. It has its own bracket and I have stiffened up the air deflector in a central area and bolted in with two locking screw and so I think there is negligible risk of it coming off and into the prop. The Raychem wiring is routed up past the fuel pump where all is cool and over the top of the engine so that should not be a concern. -------- Graeme Bird G-UMPY - Mono Classic/XS FFW 912S, Woodcomp 3000/3W CS, trutrak Gemini 2 axis ap, pflarm, ads-b out, 8.33khz, mode S, FP 5, Aera500 &amp; SD on Nexus, 250 hours &amp; 4 years on the Mono, 880 total g(at)gdbmk.co.uk Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=465919#465919 Attachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/dsc094801_726.jpg

    Hello Carl, A couple of other things you might like to consider... You won't hear the same Services Outside Controlled Airspace that you do in the UK (no Basic, Traffic, Deconfliction or Procedural) but if you remember the old system, a Flight Information Service is probably what you'd be most likely to want/need (maybe Radar Information). http://airspacesafety.com/atsocas/ You can file a FPL online using AFPEx, but it uses Java, so won't work on a Mac. You have to register (need your Licence number etc) and this takes a week or so to turn round - allow time! https://ts1.flightplanningonline.co.uk/applyingForAnAccount.html The 24 hr Helpdesk is excellent: http://www.myafpex.co.uk/feedback.php I'm happy to talk you through setting up some favourite "here's one I made earlier" FPLs, so you just choose one off your list, change the date, check & send. I've attached a simple guide (which I found on a Flyer Forum) - it's pretty good, although the sample GAR is out of date. Try this for the latest GAR: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/general-aviation-operators-and-pilots-notification-of-flights Hope this helps, Paul M 383 XSS Mono 912S Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=465931#465931 Attachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/why_not_fly_to_france_2016_v44_577.pdf

    From: "italianjon" <jon.catilli@gmail.com>
    Hi All, I'm looking to paint my new instrument module in the next weeks. It's new, so it currently got the "Europa Factory Gray" gelcoat. I'm looking for advice/suggestions. My thoughts are to go for a matt finish, to reduce reflection, and I am thinking about a "Boeing Beige" in terms of the colour. Can anyone advise, or offer experiences, as to what is the best colour/texture for minimising reflections, but also is there any "gotchas" when painting on top of the gelcoat... the last thing I want is for it to peel straight off [Laughing] Best Jon Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=465934#465934

    Hi Graeme, It just so happens that I submitted a Mod 3 for a cowl based landing light yesterday. I've been in discussion with Andy Draper about it and I believe there should be no problems getting the OK to proceed. My mod is for a very powerful 3480 Lumen LED light. I wanted something that was going to have the ability to give me enough light to land on an unlit runway or road in the case of an emergency at night. I've attached the doc that describes the installation. I'll let you know if I get the OK.

    Jon, Nextel produces a highly durable matt finish and has often been used in this context. It is toxic, so either needs professional spraying or for you to,have the right breahing kit. Whatever finish you choose the base gel coat must be sanded down to a perfect matt finish before painting.

    Hi All, I thought I'd give you an update on my progress with the mod to fit a Dynon heated pitot/AOA probe. I've discussed the fitting today with Andy Draper and he's given me a valuable suggestion on how to secure it. I'm drawing-up the Mod 2 and 3 as I type. He raised no major concerns and was very supportive. I'll let you know how I get on. Regards Carl Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=465941#465941

    How is the black with temperatures? I'm wondering if it will soak up the heat too quickly? However, your information that a matt car paint will adhere and not peel is reassuring. Can you clarify what you mean by "matt top"; are you suggesting a further layer on top of the matt paint? or just primer and then matt layer? I don't have the right breathing kit (well I assume I don't - I have a passive filter nose/mouth mask; but a view at the Nextel page suggests it very professional, therefore I imagine an air supplied suit would be what's called for while using that) Also I'm based in Germany, and one off jobs like that, from professionals can be prohibitively expensive. I'm tending towards a solution that I can do in the home workshop. Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=465944#465944

    I use SkyDemon already, so I guess it would be easiest to go with that so I create a flight, produce a flight plan from it and file a wee bit before I go. I'll have to remember to file it early enough to make sure the notice for the GAR is taken into account. Thanks you all for your help. I'm just waiting for good enough weather at the weekend and I'll fly to Le Touquet first. Regards Carl Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=465945#465945

    From: "jonathanmilbank" <jdmilbank@yahoo.co.uk>
    A couple of years ago I converted my Airmaster from AC100 to AC200 controller. The AC100 was working fine and I still have most of the components. There are three concentric rings of black "squares" at the rear of the spinner and the detector attached to the side of the gearbox has three photocells aligned with the rings to "count" the number of squares going by in each propeller revolution. The rings correspond to Take-Off, Climb and Cruise rpm. I did experience on at least one occasion at low light levels that the photocells weren't detecting the squares, but I can't remember what the response was i.e. did the propeller rpm go to fine pitch? That would make sense I guess. Contact me if you want more help or info. Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=465948#465948
