    Subject: If I re-pitch the prop.....
    Yes, it is no more difficult getting your operational limitation changed than filling out the paper work. I had my older operating limitations modified to accommodate the 5 hour major modification change. Previously, I had to get an inspection after each major mod (which with an alternative engine involved a few), so I got with the local FDSO and had the paperwork amended - which did require one more inspection. But, since then I re-enter Phase 1, fly off the 5 hours in test mode, record any changes to basic flight parameters of the aircraft and certify in the log book that it's safe to return to regular operation. IF you do not have this written into your operational limitations (or have an FAA/DAR inspection) and have an accident after making a "Major Mod" you insurance company will likely deny any claim - as you have failed to comply with FAA regulations, etc. Ed Ed Anderson Rv-6A N494BW Rotary Powered Matthews, NC eanderson@carolina.rr.com <http://www.andersonee.com/> http://www.andersonee.com <http://members.cox.net/rogersda/rotary/configs.htm> http://members.cox.net/rogersda/rotary/configs.htm#N494BW <http://www.dmack.net/mazda/index.html> http://www.dmack.net/mazda/index.html _____ From: owner-rv-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Greg Young Sent: Monday, October 06, 2008 4:29 PM Subject: RE: RV-List: If I re-pitch the prop..... Your Operation Limitations will specify what to do. If they have the more recent wording, it will require going back into Phase 1 for 5 or so hours after a major alteration. Some very old ones required a reinspection by the Feds and they specified the test time. You have to go my the wording of your own Ops Limitations. If too onerous I suppose you could try to get them changed. I haven't heard of an Amateur Built doing that but the Exhibition types have done it.

I am considering re-pitching the prop on my RV9. If I do, this changes the "approved engine-prop" combination approved by the FAA when the plane was certified. Do I now have to fly off 40 hours of test time with this new engine - prop combination?

Charles Heathco I assume you are not carrying any insurance. If you don't comply with your operating limitations, your Airworthiness Certificate may not be valid, and your insurance company could easily use that as an excuse to not pay insurance, even if the accident had nothing at all to do with the prop. -- Kevin Horton RV-8 (Flight Test Phase) Ottawa, Canada http://www.kilohotel.com/rv8
