Jay, what you really want to do is find out what goodies he had in there,
buy all of them, and hook the antennae back up. :-) And since they are not on the cutting edge of 1998 technology, I could probably buy them for a song! Nah -- we're really quite happy with our plain-Jane IFR panel the way it is. Our AvMap GPS provides so much functionality that we'd have to spend $20K more just to get the same features in panel-mounted stuff. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

Removing the stuff saves space, weight, gives a little speed, and best of
all can save you avionic tech time (and your money) when they need to chase down something. jerry "Jay Honeck" wrote in message news:iI76c.32458$_w.542610@attbi_s53... Is it worth the bother? We're coming up on our annual inspection in May, and there are at least four antennas on our bird that do nothing. I'll bet there's a few feet of cable going to each one, too. Does removing an antenna net you any extra speed, or is it mainly a weight reduction thing? -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

One thing to watch, according to my avionics shop, is that the GPS antenna
should not be located close to the ELT antenna. I forget the reason. Anyway, my loran antenna is about 9 inches from the ELT antenna, so it will not become the GPS antenna location when the time comes.

They make a GPS antenna with the same footprint for LORAN-GPS upgrades. If you need a GPS antenna it's nicer than a patch, and the same price as the regular ones (ie shockingly expensive). -- Ben Jackson http://www.ben.com/ -- --Ray Andraka, P.E.

Say what you want. Like I said, it is generally ignored by shade tree mechanics working on Piper Arrows.

Kage,
I do agree with you about it being ignored. Alot of pilots/owners are not aware of this loophole. In fact, AOPA I believe,or maybe it was Aircraft technician, Did an article on this very same subject. What gets most people is that the equipment was deactivated and every thing is fine but they fail to make a logbook entry noting the deactivated equipment was in fact inspected. As for your comments infering that because an A&P works on A Piper Arrow, he is a shade tree mechanic....well it's just an assholic comment.I have seen outstanding single engine mechanics. By the way, I have been working on GII, GIII, GIV for about 20 yrs. Have done engine changes, 72 month inspections..just about everything....And Yes, I have left SAV. with properly deactivated equip.... Joe "kage" wrote in message ...
