Below is a shameless plug from an FFI Cardholder who will be performing on Saturday with other members of the OVRVators and TeamRV. Take care of your honeydo lists, pay the bills, baby the kids, work on those ramp lies.........do whatever, but crank it up and get on over here Saturday. We do, and I hope all those who attend, have a great time. More to follow as Saturday approaches. "Well... It's almost here again. The best fly in of the year. Dana's Fly In at the Richmond Kentucky airport. I think he needs to name it. Perhaps; "Black Magic Fly in, RV's over Richmond, Bluegrass Fly in, or Dana's Fly in". Dana and Elaine will be working their butts off this week preparing for it. Don't miss out! Dana buys enough food to feed an army of people. Make sure you deposit money in the donation jar. We don't want Dana to lose money while organizing a fun event. Tell the wife that you won't be home on Saturday because you are going to the biggest RV gathering this side of the Mississippi. In fact if you don't count Sun-N-fun or Oshkosh you probably will be. We will be getting details from Dana this week as far as times and parking. Lets have a safe and fun fly in. Everyone needs to be careful. There will be a lot of airplanes coming and going. Be safe. Be brief. Keep the radio chatter down. Don't dilly dally on the runway. It's going to be a lot of fun, you can bet on that. We'll be getting a list of who's going later in the week. We'll also be putting flights together. If you are coming in as a single ship please give way to the several multi ship flights that will be converging on the airport. The flight leads will appreciate your patience.

From: "Glaeser, Dennis A" --> RV-List message posted by: "Glaeser, Dennis A" The safety pilot can log the time as 'second-in-command', for the time that the 'pilot-in-command' is under the hood in VFR conditions. This is because during that time you are a required crewmember. Now keep in mind that 'second-in-command' time doesn't count toward most things for which you log your time, like additional ratings, insurance, ..., because those require PIC time. There is value in logging that time to prove that there was a safety pilot on-board. Just be careful that both pilot's logbooks are in synch (PIC vs. SIC).

Hi Ed, Start here for bulb information: http://www.donsbulbs.com/cgi-bin/r/b.pl/313~ac%7cdelco.html A 313 is 28 volts by definition. You should be able to find a 12 volt bulb that will work. It will have a different part number of course. If you don't want to try and figure out the bulb for yourself, call Bulbman and ask them for help...

As > safety pilot, can I log the flight time? If so, in what capacity? > Pilot in > command?? It's my understanding that *both* pilots can log PIC time when one is under the hood (simulated instrument conditions, not actual), as long as the safety pilot is rated for the given category & class, and type if a type rating is required. Any private pilot can act as safety pilot in any airplane regardless of type, but he can only log it as PIC if appropriately rated and endorsed. In other words, a private pilot single engine land can log PIC time when he flies safety pilot in your RV-6A (just an example), but if he flies safety pilot in a multi, he cannot log PIC. Here's a decent write-up that may help or confuse: http://inwg.cap.gov/lafcomp/senior/staneval/picsafetypilot.html I used to think it was a big deal, but unless you're legitimately "saving up" PIC time for some specific reason, it doesn't really matter in the grand scheme. do not archive )_( Dan RV-7 N714D http://www.rvproject.com ________________________________ Message 16 ____________________________________ Time: 09:06:49 AM PST US From: "D.Bristol" Subject: Re: RV-List: Cockpit Light Bulb --> RV-List message posted by: "D.Bristol" Ed, A #313 is a 28V lamp, there is no 14V version.

From: "Glaeser, Dennis A" --> RV-List message posted by: "Glaeser, Dennis A" Regarding Safety Pilots, I've always taught that only one pilot can log PIC at a time. The other one can log SIC when the PIC is under the hood. The article indicates that 'if the pilots agree' that the safety pilot is PIC, then that pilot can log PIC, and that the other pilot, who is manipulating the controls, can also log PIC (since that is the definition in the FARs). I think that is stretching the rule to justify double logging PIC time. In case of a violation or accident, that 'agreement' would be meaningless IMHO (I'm not a lawyer or with the FAA). My first question when someone asks me about this is: why is it so important to log PIC time when you are a safety pilot? Are you trying to qualify for a rating, meet some insurance requirement, get a flying job, or what? Back when you had to have 200 hrs to get an instrument rating, that was a motivation to get as much PIC time quickly as possible. Now it that not really an issue. Dennis --------------------- Dennis, It was a little qirky the way it was written, but it did say you could both log the time if the safety pilot was PIC and properly rated. The legality of PIC was the issue. If the safety pilot is PIC then he is responsible if there was a violation, or accident, etc. I read it twice, and thought as you did at first.

You'll want to make the fiberglass tip removable and as an option you might want to run some wire or string down between the two forward tooling holes you will have to open up to pass the stab cam cables through.

I know I don't want a strobe there but have been thinking about antenae. However, since it looks like my 9A will be light up front (320 with Catto prop and RG batt), and I didn't do the "optional" lightening holes in the VS spar, I think I want to avoid any unneccessary weight in the VS at all. Many people seem to do the nav com in the wingtips which seems to work well. So, those are my thoughts now, but if someone would like to tell me differently I would like to hear i t. Thank you.

From: "Glaeser, Dennis A" --> RV-List message posted by: "Glaeser, Dennis A" The AOPA FAQ reads very similar to the article Dan noted. Looks like I'm out-voted, as long as the safety pilot agrees to be responsible for the flight (one of the ways to be PIC). If you want/need the PIC time - go for it. The reality is that there is no way to dispute it anyway. It's important to know the correct way to explain things - with references like the AOPA - if a situation ever comes up that requires it. Good discussion! Dennis --> RV-List message posted by: Kelly McMullen Nope. Go to AOPA website members section under FAQ. Logging time as PIC and being PIC are two unrelated items. ________________________________ Message 28 ____________________________________ Time: 12:20:27 PM PST US Subject: RE: RV-List: Re: Re: FAR Safety question. From: "Chuck Jensen" --> RV-List message posted by: "Chuck Jensen" At first blush, the idea of both the 'under hood' pilot and 'safety' pilot claiming PIC time would seem to be double-dipping--but then think about a similar situation--your flight training. You're flying the plane but you can bet the CFI is logging PIC time. It may be double-dipping but it's legal and logical.

The other one can log SIC when the PIC is under the hood. The article indicates that 'if the pilots agree' that the safety pilot is PIC, then that pilot can log PIC, and that the other pilot, who is manipulating the controls, can also log PIC (since that is the definition in the FARs). I think that is stretching the rule to justify double logging PIC time. In case of a violation or accident, that 'agreement' would be meaningless IMHO (I'm not a lawyer or with the FAA). My first question when someone asks me about this is: why is it so important to log PIC time when you are a safety pilot? Are you trying to qualify for a rating, meet some insurance requirement, get a flying job, or what? Back when you had to have 200 hrs to get an instrument rating, that was a motivation to get as much PIC time quickly as possible. Now it that not really an issue. Dennis --------------------- Dennis, It was a little qirky the way it was written, but it did say you could both log the time if the safety pilot was PIC and properly rated. The legality of PIC was the issue. If the safety pilot is PIC then he is responsible if there was a violation, or accident, etc. I read it twice, and thought as you did at first.

Before you cut your cowl, try the following: Install a Niagara/Harrison 10 row oil cooler on the rear baffle behind cylinder 4 as high as cowl clearance will permit. Tilt it back approximately 25 degrees or more if clearance from engine mount will allow. When making pie shaped supports, use 040 or 050 4130 steel instead of aluminum. The brackets if made from aluminum will crack in a few hours of operation. I have enjoyed normal oil temps in all weather conditions since installing this mod.

My internally-regulated Van's 60 AMP alternator went to "0" Amps and I Immediately started shedding electrical loads. Then, while in the pattern here at Las Cruces turning from downwind to final, the alternator started showing a charge again! I suspect a loose connection somewhere (was really bumpy today at 9500' MSL from 200 miles east of LRU to the field...) but I need an OHM meter and an extra pair of eyes would be nice to do some trouble-shooting before I attempt my trip home this Friday. If anyone in the Las Cruces area has an OHM meter I could borrow I would be most appreciative. The meter is something I will definitely add to my travel/emergency bag before the next trip!

I am a VFR pilot and my friend needed some hood time. Wondering if I could log this time, I went searching for an answer. I asked the same question of the Avweb people and they came up with a FAR reg that states that the safety pilot is allowed to log that time as pilot in command. The safety pilot is responsible for the safe operation of the aircraft while the IFR rated pilot is "under the hood". Understand this, only the time when the IFR pilot is under the hood are you legally allowed to log.
