    Subject: Anyone at Brighton Van-Aire?
    Hello: I'm planning visiting a friend in Denver on my way back to the east coast from the Reno Air Races. He lives very near the Brighton Van-Aire Private airport. Beyond the data listed on airnav, Does anyone have the inside track on getting parking at this field? Thanks, Bill N84WJ, RV-8 rv-8.blogspot.com

    My hat is off to any A&P or IA who is willing to inspect and sign off on a non builder owned experimental aircraft. For them the risk and liability are huge and the financial reward small. -------- Milt 2003 F1 Rocket 2006 Radial Rocket Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p 2719#202719

The cost to defend even a frivolous lawsuit can take your entire retirement. I know. Judges don't throw out very many suits these days. But that said, the point was about if they are liable and I understand your comments. Thanks! Do Not Archive

    Please don't forget a valuable point here. What you state is exactly corre ct for Standard category aircraft.=2C but does not apply to experimental ai rcraft. The Operating Limitations assigned to each aircraft rule. And tha t limitation states that you will conduct the condition inspection in accor dance with the scope and detail of Appendix D of Part 43=2C or other approv ed program (which rules for turbine aircraft).

Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations is pretty specific here. Part 91 Sec 9 1.409 says aircraft (read all aircraft under part 91) must have undergone a n annual inspection in accordance with part 43 of this chapter within the p receding 12 calendar months.

    Dead on, Mike. I have an A&E with IA in the hangar next to me. He doesn't "practice" anymore, but offered good suggestions while I was building my RV6A. I think I know more about the specific plane I spent 4-years building than a causal observer or someone who spends perhaps an hour looking at it. I don't mind suggestions, or even constructive critisims, but I know that all examinations (like A&E, Law, Physiciams, etc) are all designed to measure if the candidate has the MINIMUM knowledge to proceed. So mere possession of any "credential" is always proof positive that the person is all knowledgeable. I do my own annual condtion inspections in strict accord with the operating limitations, and feel very comfortable doing so...and have done so for the past 13 or more years. FWIW John at Salida, CO

    Subject: Efis Question
    Hello: I am considering buying the Efis-D10A, For those with this unit, question 1- Do you find it, to work proplerly, and are you happy with it. 2- How difficult is to connect. I am tired of working under that crowded space,,,,All I need would be basic fuctions... NO G or anyof the options... Does any one has the schematic, drawings for connection.. it shows a 25 pin connector....do I have to have 25 wires???? Finally, when installing this unit, what instruments one remove from the pannel....I believe the Attitud Ind. is out?? What happens if the unit fails? one would be without a very essential tool..... for safety etc... Your comments and suggestions appreciated... Bert rv6a Do not Archive

    Subject: A&P Standard
    Long and boring answer, delete if you are tired of this discussion. >Excellent post and understandable. So here is a hypothetical question: >Mr. John Jones builds an RX-4 and gets his AWC as an experimental >Homebuilt Aircraft. But he decides since it is an experimental and >he can do whatever he wants to he decides to use several non >aircraft type parts and automotive wiring, plus RC model servo >equipment for electric trims. Each year if he also obtained the A&P >license for this aircraft can perform the conditional inspection. Anybody can perform the conditional inspection. However, only the repairman or an A&P can sign the logbook with the appropriate statement in my operating conditions assigned to me by the FAA, I must sate: "I certify that this aircraft has been inspected in accordance with the scope and detail of Part 43, appendix D and found to be in a condition for safe flight." As far a non certified parts, when the aircraft receives the DAR inspection, or in my case the FAA inspection, then non standard parts, engineering, etc should be discussed and then evaluated by the builder and inspector for its appropriateness for safe flight. My FAA inspector did not allow me to do some things that I wanted, made me change a few things. So just because it is an experimental, that did not give me a license to do anything I wanted. A wild example: I don't expect I would be allowed to hold my wings on with rubber bands the way I do with some R/C aircraft! But, I can use a non certified experimental oil filter for my formerly certified Lycoming engine! It is my opinion that many non certified parts/equipment are as good or maybe better than the certified parts (yes I agree some are not, buyer beware). But, we will never know, because most of the time the reason a part is not certified is because of the extra cost and burden associated with the testing and evaluation, i.e destructive testing and the endless paper trail (this is good and bad). >But then in year 4 he is real busy with work so he hires a licensed >A&P mechanic to do his condition inspection. Does that A&P have the >leisure to inspect this aircraft and have no concerns for the parts >that were used in this aircraft? Is he in jeopardy if he inspects >this aircraft and one of those parts causes an accident? This is my >real question as an A&P has some obligation to follow the accepted >practices in the aviation field but an experimental doesn't really >have to meet the same criteria. It is an experiment. Like anything in life there is a risk. I will give my opinion, but the issue can only be resolved in a court of law, or with more specific FAA regulations (which I don't think we need or want). I have an obnoxious A&P/IA friend who has refused to do a conditional inspection on a retaliative's homebuilt aircraft because parts installed did not meet the detail of Part 43, appendix D. He has done conditional inspections on numerous homebuilts. He uses his professional judgment on the issue in question on whether the aircraft is airworthy/safe or not. It is his right to refuse to do the inspection, or to not sign the logbook if in his judgement he determines the aircraft is not safe or unairworthy using Part 43, appendix D as a guide. Yes if there is a part that fails (experimental or certified) I am sure the FAA will question him if there is a crash. As for experimental parts. If the manufacturer installs this part, i.e. the builder, even if the builder is Cessna , then by installing the part, the manufacturer is making a statement that the part is necessary and safe for flight and during testing will determine if it is safe and or appropriate. The way I see it, once the FAA or DAR inspector inspects the aircraft, it is as if by decree, all parts (certified or non certified) are airworthy. Certified parts fail (Slick Mags), non certified parts fail, the question would be, did the part failure cause the crash, and was the part inspected or checked using reasonable sound inspection techniques? Some non certified parts/equipment give inspection criteria within the owners manual, i.e. the Rocky Mountain Instruments Micro Encoder. On the other hand , I have a non certified fuel injection system, how does it get checked/inspected? The same way a certified fuel system would be checked. I have a non certified Lycoming engine, it gets inspected the same way a certified engine does. Now 4 years later, I decide to change out a part because I designed a new, better, faster, part (example: I build a tapered wing for my RV6, spar and leading edge all the same, but aft ribs and trailing edge is tapered). My operating procedures spell out what I must do to maintain the airworthiness of my aircraft if I make a major alteration such as this, (or if I just go from a fixed pitched prop to a constant speed). I put my aircraft back into phase 1 testing for 5 hours. After the 5 hours and I have worked all the bugs out, I sign the log book with the work done and the test results. After that time the A&P would be inspecting the airplane based upon the changes made. Sort of like the STC/337 process. On the other hand, I am not a professional builder, I have had many A&P/IAs look at my aircraft to give me advice on how to, is it right, is it safe. I welcome an A&P/IA comments/advice. Things that I did not know how to do, I hired an A&P/IA to do the work and inspect it, i.e. time the Mags and Mag inspection. As far as parts go, I had to design and fabricate my own throttle mixture bracket for a Fuel Injected servo. Vans did not have one, nor did anyone else at the time. Non standard part, not even on the aircraft plans. Of all the A&P/IAs that have checked my aircraft (especially the engine installation) not one has ever mention this! I often wonder why? As I said before, this is really not a big issue, it is spelled out in the FAA regulations on how to do it. It should also be in the aircraft operating conditions that are required to be a part of the aircraft documents. If this issue really bothers you, then don't deal with homebuilts, simple solution. Note: We are allowed to put auto engines in our homebuilts. What better place to get parts and stuff for the installation than "Autozone," .....well personally, I might use "Summit Racing," but Autozone would do. Bob RV6 "Wicked Witch of the West"

    This is an adjustment you can do yourself. You will find you will also need to reposition the gear that drives the feedback potentiometer as well. The instructions cover this, but not well. Recommend you find an RV builder in the area who has already done this. My Navaid has been flying for five years and works as advertised. It did take some tweaking however to get it zeroed out such that the wings are level with the "Trim" and "Turn" panel controls in the mid (pointing straight up) position. This tweaking can only be done with the servo installed and the servo cover removed, so sending it back to the factory is not an option. The next autopilot will be a new servo connected to the Dynon EFIS that is already in the panel.

    I had no problem understanding why they are concerned about liability. No matter what the trade, if you're in a service industry, you're between a rock and a hard place. The threat of legal action is one of the reasons I gave up my consulting business. No matter how well I wrote a contract and followed it ..... All a customer had to do is file suit for non-performance and I was hosed. Right or wrong, doesn't matter. Milt's right ... there is good reason to be concerned. I lay the blame on the legal profession that can dismiss people on the jury for no explained reason (but it was really because they were knowledgeable) so you end up with OJ Simpsons jury ...... and the fact that it's less costly to capitulate when you're right. The suit against EAA for a crash at a fly-in and the one against the vacuum pump manufacturer are prime examples. And the newest one against the carb manufacturer. Nobody is immune. And that's going to ruin this country.

In short, the D10A has done everything Dynon advertises it would do, and considering the continuous (and free) software upgrades from Dynon I expect it will do more in the future. The D10A is about the best bang for the buck as you can get. Some thoughts: 1. Get the EDC D10A remote compass. While I flew with just the internal compass for a few months and found it to work well, the external compass is far easier to calibrate and it is required if you want to input outside air temperature into the D10A. With outside air temperature the D10A provides continuous True Air Speed indication as well as wind direction and wind speed. I find I use this wind information far more than I expected and now would not want to be without it. 2. As I have dual batteries I did not get the battery backup. Your install may be different. 3. As I only removed the AI to install the D10A, I still have all the standard steam gauges (air speed, altitude, vertical speed). Considering the minor cost, I would recommend having these standard instruments in the panel along with the D10A. 4. The HSI function works just as good as a standard HSI. 5. If you are going to use the D10A for glide slope and localizer indication, you should consider getting two D10As. That way you can keep the normal display up on one and HSI on the other. Considering the cost of a CDI head these day, a second D10A make a whole lot more sense than putting a standalone CDI in the panel. 6. If you can solder wires to a D connector, you can install the D10A. 7. Dynon has a list of known GPS and Nav radios that customer report working with the D10A. You should call them to see if what you are planning to feed it is on the list or not. 8. While the D10A does not need GPS input to work, the GPS input provides the data to compute wind speed and direction. Either a GPS or a Nav input is needed of course for HSI functions. 9. I have a Navaid wing level for my autopilot. When it dies I'll get the Dynon servo and feed it off the D10A. Again the best bang for the buck for an autopilot.

I am tired of working under that crowded space,,,,All I need would be basic fuctions... NO G or anyof the options... Does any one has the schematic, drawings for connection.. it shows a 25 pin connector....do I have to have 25 wires???? Finally, when installing this unit, what instruments one remove from the pannel....I believe the Attitud Ind. is out?? What happens if the unit fails? one would be without a very essential tool..... for safety etc... Your comments and suggestions appreciated... Bert rv6a Do not Archive

    Your other option (though much more expensive) is to just leave the servo in place and install the trio control head. It has software that will compensate for a non-centered servo.

    Subject: A request for action
    This is going to take a bit=2C so if you don't want to get involved this is a good time to hit delete. Gentleman=2C and any ladies that may still be with us=2C I have a request for all of you that =2C if heard=2C will benefit everyone. Everyone has known me for quite a while. I built my first RV in 1998=2C and have been building and flying RV's ever since. Over that time I have been greatly involved with my job in certificating an d overseeing amateur-built aircraft. I have also seen a very disturbing tr end that I feel now needs to be addressed. And that is the lack of service you have receiving from the Flight Standards Offices. I am requesting tha t all of you call=2C or email=2C you US Representative and/or US Senator=2C and let them know that you are NOT receiving service from the FAA that you r tax dollars are paying for. As a matter of fact you have been paying a p rivate user fee for quite some time now=2C and you have the right to tell t hem it needs to stop. And this involves your having to pay for certificati on of your amateur-built aircraft. And with the attempt by the FAA to chan ge the Amateur-built rules and a recent change to the authority of the DARs you are going to have to pay more very soon. I would also request that you keep my name out of it off of this list. Now...Let me explain. Please bare with me as I need to explain the system just a little so you can be somewhat educated. Within the FAA there are two branches that are tasked with conducting inspe ctions and issuing airworthiness certificates to all aircraft=2C be they St andard category or Experimental. Those two branches are the Manufacturing Inspection District Offices (MIDO) and the Flight Standards District Office s (FSDO). Most of the work is done by the FSDOs due to the fact that MIDOs are located with the regional offices=2C thus very far from most of us. T here are only 9 MIDOs in the country. Due to politics and high profiles the management within the flight standard s has made the decision that focusing on inspections of scheduled Air Carri ers (i.e=2C United Airlines=2C etc.) gives them the biggest bang for the bu ck=2C if you will. If the Flight Standards management had their way ALL gen eral aviation would have to use designees and pay for service. And that is exactly what they are trying to do through the back door. Most of you already know that if you contact your FSDO to get an inspection done=2C they will refer you to a DAR telling you that they no longer do in spections. That is a LIE. It is part of the job description of every airw orthiness inspector in the FAA. Granted=2C many of them do not know anythi ng about the types of aircraft we build but there are many many more who do know=2C want to do them=2C and have the time do do them=2C but management within the Flight Standards has declared=2C in writing=2C that we are not t o bother with Amateur-builders=2C and are to send everyone to a DAR=2C irre gardless of what it may cost you=2C the builder. Your tax dollar pays for the operation of the FAA and you have the right to receive service for that dollar. You are not. Please do not get me wrong . As you know from the recent Southwest Airlines fiasco=2C inspecting big air carriers is important. But general aviation inspectors do NOT routinel y inspect big air carriers.. We inspect general aviation operators=2C such as charter operations=2C flight schools=2C crop dusters=2C and repair stati ons. And at no additional cost to the FAA of travel dollars airworthiness inspectors could include certification of Amateur-built aircraft in their surveillence/inspections trips. Each of us goes on the road often enough t o include everyone=2C if we were allowed. I am sorry for being up on a soap box for so long but I am tired of telling people 'no'=2C I can't help you even though I have the expertise and the t ime. And I have talked with numerous airworthiness inspectors who feel the same way. But from the inside we have no way to buck the system. It has to come from outside=2C and that is why I am asking for all of you to take action. Contact your Representatives=2C Senators=2C the EAA=2C and AOPA an d let them know that you are not happy about what is happening. Mike R.
