Hello Matt,
simple, still unscrewing in icing condition would not be my thing.
In 2007 I've posted that once:
hopefully attached, what I did (on a Glastar) a Curtis Drain Valve
CCA-1550 together with a T and two elbows to fit the static line.
And I did an inflight check, error is 4 KIAS to high indication.

I used 1/4" ID Tygon between the static ports up to a 1/4" tee fitting secured
to the mid-point on the bulkhead. From the tee fitting there's 1/4" ID Tygon
coming out and transitions to 1/4" OD standard static line along the longeron.
The 1/4" OD line is very snug inside the Tygon and I've also got a small hose
clamp at the transition point to insure sealing. No issues with leaks in 2

For those that have the Cleaveland static ports, what have you done to

that most everything else uses? The Cleaveland installation
instructions mention to just slide the 1/4 OD into the 1/4 ID, but that
doesn't sound like it would be optimal for a leak free transition.

You may be right on the requirements but I just had the Seattle MIDO come a

Not sure where you are finding this "requirement". #1. There is no IFR
certification of OBAM aircraft. #2.You only have to meet the
requirements of 91.205, para a, b, c and d. There is no mention of
alternate static source in that FAR. You can't fly IFR until you
complete Phase I and your operating limitations will state after Phase
I that for night VFR you have to meet 91.205 C and for IFR meet 91.205
D. It is up to you, the builder to decide if you need anything else.
If your static system is at all like the RV-10, with a port on each
side of the tailcone, and you incorporated an uphill section to the
top of the tailcone to join the lines from each port, there really is
no need for an alternate static source. Mooney used the same design
and through the 1960s had no alternate source and no drain. Only after
Part 23 was issued did they start incorporating those features. IMHO,
just adds complexity and potential for leaks. Perhaps I would think
differently if you were based outdoors in Oregon or NJ, but hangared
in most parts of the country, you will almost never get any water into
the system.

If you have a tablesaw, a better option is a torsion box top. I make
mine out of a 1/2" MDF core, 1/4" MDF bottom and either 1/2 or 3/4" MDF
top. By their nature, they pretty much have to come out dead flat. In
case you don't know what it is there's an example here:
http://thewoodwhisperer.com/episode-18-assembly-table-torsion-box/
Alternately, you can rip some 3/4" plywood into 3 1/2" strips and glue
them together to make your own "2x4"s.

I appreciate the data point. I think we all know that FAA inspectors are not
very familiar with OBAM requirements. Has been discussed many times that
there is no IFR certification of OBAM aircraft. I'd still like to see where
it is required.
I suspect that the vast majority of RVs are given airworthiness inspection
by DARs that are more familiar with what is and isn't required. Tail cone
static ports are not exposed to impact in flight icing. Now some aircraft
that have a single static port forward of the wing might have an issue, like
some Cessnas. Perhaps it is a good question to pose to EAA.

I've been researching IFR use of non-TSOd equipment and am just as
confused as when I started out. I believe that even if you are OBAM,
you are still subject to a transponder/altimeter certification every two
years.

I don't think an alternate static port (in the cabin, as it were) is a
requirement. I also don't think it's on the list of the things a DAR is
supposed to look for.

EAA has a package just for this purpose. It outlines what you need. It
doesn't, AFAIK, say what you DON'T need. I've known DARs that just ask
questions .... because they think these things need to be there ......
and if there isn't an answer that they like they SUGGEST that you add
the widget. I've not heard of a DAR failing an inspection because the
item in question wasn't there or on the list of required widgets.

Now that I think about it, I don't think there is even a requirement for
Alternate Static even on the certified airplanes.
I may be talking about something I don't know much about, so there is my
disclaimer. But OBAM aircraft flown IFR have to meet the same standards
as certified IFR airplanes.
This is done by the DAR through some creative finger pointing that says
something to the effect of, "After completion of phase I flight testing,
unless appropriately equipped for night and/or instrument flight in
accordance with part 91.205. this aircraft is to be operated under day
VFR."
That means your airplane is a VFR/day aircraft and if you want it to be
anything more than VFR/day, it must comply with the minimum equipment
listed in 91.205. 91.205 outlines the light requirements for night
operations and the instrument requirements for IFR operations.
At no point in 91.205 does it make a reference to alternate static air.
But for what it's worth, I'm installing a Clippard valve in mine.

Yes, transponder and encoder have to meet TSO standards. Encoder may
not be too difficult through FAR 43 Appendix E, but transponder pretty
much will have to have TSO. GPS for IFR has to meet TSO requirements.
Altimeter has to meet same requirements as encoder. Most other
instruments like airspeed and gyros are at your discretion as the
builder. As long as you can fly the assigned clearance accurately with
the instruments you install, I believe you are okay.

Take a look at Rod Bower's products. He now has a bottom cowl scoop for
the RV-10. You can get horizontal induction with the standard Van's cowl.

Also, check out Deem's site for some photos, although he has a highly
customized James cowl. I think Rod learned quite a bit from Deem's
installation.

Yes, you need it.. No plans to get rid of transponders any time soon.. even when

Of course, eventually that will change, but I don't see it being done any

| Subject: | TSO'd Instrumentation For IFR? |
Dear Listers,
I'm working with the local FSDO this week and had my airframe inspection on Monday
will get my sign-off this Friday if all goes well. Looking over the requirements
for IFR, it appears that I've got everything I need as far as equipment
is concerned. I have a Garmin SL-30 for Com/Nav and a Garmin GTX-327 for Mode
C transponder. All of the other equipment and functionality is provided by
the GRT Horizon HX sytems including the encoder, attitude, airspeed, altitude,
compass, etc, etc. I do not have any steam gauges or other flight instruments
other than what is provided by GRT through an HX installation.
My question is can my RV-8 be approved for IFR flight with this compliment of GRT
HX specific instrumentation? Or, would I need to have a TSO'd encoder and/or
other TSO'd pieces such as rate-of-turn, slip, sensitive altimeter, artificial
horizon, direction gyro, etc?

You do NOT need to worry about this for your airframe inspection. You will only
get approved for Day VFR and only need to meet Day VFR requirements. There is
NO such thing as IFR certification of an OBAM aircraft. You will get operating
limitations restricting you to day VFR for Phase one, and then state for night
VFR and IFR you have to comply with the requirements of 91.205. You won't
find any TSO requirements there. The only requirements for TSO are found in other
parts, such as the transponder, which for all practical purposes must be
TSO. Your Altimeter and encoder will need to meet the TSO requirements, but you
can have a competent avionics shop certify your altimeter, encoder and static
system, as well as the required transponder check all in one operation.
TSO equimpent, with the exceptions above is only required for Part 135 and similar
for hire parts.
[quote="Matt Dralle"]Dear Listers,
I'm working with the local FSDO this week and had my airframe inspection on Monday
will get my sign-off this Friday if all goes well.
My question is can my RV-8 be approved for IFR flight with this compliment of GRT
HX specific instrumentation? Or, would I need to have a TSO'd encoder and/or
other TSO'd pieces such as rate-of-turn, slip, sensitive altimeter, artificial
horizon, direction gyro, etc?

Matt,
Yes, I think you're okay; but with the irony that you won't be able to get home
to KLVK in ifr. There are only 2 approaches into KLVK; a GPS approach, which
requires an ifr TSO certified gps; and an ILS, which in Livermore's case, also
requires an ADF (or you can sub an ifr approved gps).
PS What hangar are you in? I'm in 311.

Matt,
Also, it wasn't clear to me: if the GRT goes belly up, do you have any backup instruments?

Yes, I've got dual AHRSs, Magnetometers, GPSs, and triple HX displays. I also
have a completely redundant and independent power source for the primary HX Display/ARHS/Magnetometer/GPS/SL-30
in case the Vertical Power VP-200 dies.

| Subject: | Check Valve For Static System Cabin Venting... |
It is possible to include a Curtiss valve inside the aircraft that will be
opened in the event of a static port icing. I was reminded of this when
taxiing to the wash ramp at FFZ. my airspeed read 32 KIAS while taxiing with
the static ports taped and pitot cover in place. The EFIS then showed zero
when opening the panel valve.

I appreciate the data point. I think we all know that FAA inspectors are not
very familiar with OBAM requirements. Has been discussed many times that
there is no IFR certification of OBAM aircraft. I'd still like to see where
it is required.
I suspect that the vast majority of RVs are given airworthiness inspection
by DARs that are more familiar with what is and isn't required. Tail cone
static ports are not exposed to impact in flight icing. Now some aircraft
that have a single static port forward of the wing might have an issue, like
some Cessnas. Perhaps it is a good question to pose to EAA.

Kelly,
You may be right on the requirements but I just had the Seattle MIDO come
and inspect my RV-10 and on the list of items they wanted to see was the
Alternate Static Source.
Since I had this installed we did not discuss if it was optional/required.
Just wanted all to know that these FAA inspectors were looking for it.
