For example, I need to add my MT-Prop gov SB entry. I need to show that I checked AD's for my engine. I need to show that I've started the conditional inspection... I don't have much info on how those entries should be formatted and I'm hoping there is a site or FAA doc in existence that outlines the format for those entries. I'm a logbook rookie.

The language for the annual condition inspection is in your operating limitations and is pretty standard, so that one is easy, but I don't think there is any need to show that you've STARTED the inspection, just do an entry when you are done with it. The start date of an inspection isn't the relevant date...it's the completed date that matters. That log entry usually looks like: "I certify that this aircraft has been inspected on X/X/2017 in accordance with the scope and detail of FAR part 43, Appendix D, and was found to be in the condition for safe operation." I personally when doing the ACI, don't log every individual task, such as "repacked wheel bearings", but only list any that are significant for some reason. I also log all of the cylinder compressions for historical reasons. Here's an example of what I did for a recent fuel pump log entry. Someone like Kelly may be able to confirm if it's adequate. "Replaced fuel pump model 62B26931 s/n RC4214036826 with s/n RC12161697 per Lycoming SB-621B." Generally, if you are supposed to follow a procedure, you may want to reference it as "per XYZ" or something that shows where you got the guidance. Other than that it's pretty much up to you. I try to include part and serial numbers for anything I can, and if there was a reason why something needed to be done due to wear or damage, I note that. Here's another entry for a while ago: "Replaced Slick Harness M-2961 (Left) with new Aero-Lite Skytronics A18-11AS-II harness (Kelly KA16014) due to loose spring on #5 wire at cap end and blackening of rotor cap on old mag. Replaced AN900-10 gasket on Oil temp housing plug." And another one: "Performed SB 14-8-29 per SB instructions, installing doubler above nose gear elastomers on engine mount." An A&P like Kelly McMullen would probably have good info on a reference to use for examples, and maybe he can comment on if what I've done above is even adequate. I personally don't feel they're too inadequate, but wouldn't mind a second opinion. The important thing is to show what parts went in and out, any relevant info on those parts, and what procedures were done and why, as far as I'm concerned. Then you're doing a good job trying to provide a traceable history of the aircraft and engine.

I left the Slick mag with the retard connection plus SlickStart installed, since it had just been IRAN'd, and removed the grounding jumper on the ignition switch so both sets of plugs would be firing at TDC on startup. So basically it is like having two electronically boosted sparks during the time the starter is cranking. RV-10 now does cold and hot starts in the first turn of the prop; verrry nice. Wish I could have had that for the past ten years! No appreciable rise in CHTs that I can detect, and don't know what it will do to ROP and LOP cruise up high yet, since the Pacific northwest weather has been nonstop scuzzy for the past couple of weeks. I can say that cruising down low, am seeing same indicated airspeed at 18-19 inches MP that I used to see with 21. So maybe a little more spunk also. Will post again when I get some cross country engine monitor recordings and can compare with previous configuration. -Dan Masys N104LD 965 hrs. -----Original Message----- From: owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of RV10-List Digest Server Sent: Wednesday, April 26, 2017 12:04 AM Subject: RV10-List Digest: 2 Msgs - 04/25/17 Time: 09:40:46 AM PST US Subject: RV10-List: SureFly Electronic Ignition From: "SureFly" SureFly is now delivering 6 cylinder experimental ignition units. surely.aero or 817-373-5161 Thanks!

Name of person performing the work (if other than the person approving the work) 4. Signature and certificate number of person approving the work. #3 isn't needed for OBAM. #4. no certificate number is needed for OBAM aircraft, although you could put your repairman number. You can put total time, if you choose to track it for maintenance purposes. Additional guidance in AC43.9C Maintenance Records Note that inspection records are a little different in contents and approval. Tim's suggestions are right on track. Including part numbers is excellent. Serial numbers are not so important unless it is major item that you want to track replacement..engine, prop, perhaps major accessories like governor, mags, alternator, starter. It helps if say an AD were to be issued on certain Skytec starters, so you don't have to go find the physical serial number later.

I have one screen that comes up with only the background light on; it never boots up. I disassembled it and reseated all the cables and board connectors, but it won't boot. I then swapped individual boards with the display that works and found that the processor module doesn't work. I disassembled it and reseated the board connectors, but it still doesn't work. I sent an email to Robert Durall from Tim's chelton board, but that email was bad. I'd like to find another module or get this one repaired, but don't want to spend too much on it. I've read that Chelton will work on them but charges a flat fee ($4000 - $4500). I don't know if that's correct, but I'd rather buy a new system from another company than spend that much on obsolete equipment. Anybody got any ideas?

I included Roberts last known email address for me in the cc line. They were great about fixing mine. The kicker is the unit has to be shipped back to them from an avionics shop.
