Subject: RE: Changing engines From: Jim_and_Lucy Chuk (thesupe@hotmail.com) Date: Mon Nov 16 - 11:31 AM I went through this on my Avid B and later on my MK IV Avid when I changed the 582 out to the Jabiru. Depending when your airworthyness cert was issu ed=2C different procedures come into play. Some require an FAA inspection =2C with a more recently issued AW cert it may not. Look in your operating limitations=2C and it will tell you what you have to do with your plane. I needed inspections on both of my Avids=2C even when I changed out from a 532 to a 582 on my first B model Avid. Both times the local FSDO did the i nspections (at no charge)=2C although the B was originaly from Washington a nd the MK IV was from Michagan. The FAA was really helpfull in all of this . Take care=2C Jim Chuk > Subject: Changing engines > From: akflyer_2000@yahoo.com > Date: Mon=2C 16 Nov 2009 10:54:32 -0800 > To: kitfox-list@matronics.com > > > OK guys=2C > > I am working on an engine swap=2C and called he local FSDO to see what I needed to do as this is a different engine manufacture than what is on my a irworthiness (mine states that it is good with ALL rotax engines). > > The local guy said that I needed to go back to the original faa office th at gave approval the kit manufacture ?? Has anyone else gone through this? say a swap from a rotax to a VW or Subie or some other engine that is not p urpose built for aircraft? I would think that the inspector may want to com e out and look at it=2C maybe through me back to phase 1 for XX hrs to prov e out the engine=2C but it should be done on the local level I would think. .. > > -------- > DO NOT ARCHIVE > Leonard Perry aka SNAKE > Soldotna AK > Avid "=3BC"=3B / Mk IV > 582 IVO IFA > Full Lotus 1450 > #1 snake oil salesman since 1-22-2009 > > hander outer of humorless darwin awards > > > > > Read this topic online here: > > http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=273176#273176 > > > > > > > =========== =========== =========== =========== > > > _________________________________________________________________ Bing brings you maps=2C menus=2C and reviews organized in one place. http://www.bing.com/search?q=restaurants&form=MFESRP&publ=WLHMTAG&cre a=TEXT_MFESRP_Local_MapsMenu_Resturants_1x1
