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

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.
