The only test and recertification station to serve Utah refuses to test
and fill the german factory bottles for the DG-400 since they do not have a USA DOT stamp on them. The official regulations (which he showed me) state that foreign bottles without the DOT stamp can only be tested for "EXPORT" use. ie, airliner, ship, etc....leaving the USA for its use. Oxygen suppliers theoretically should not even be filling the bottles without the DOT stamp on them. I got two bottles out of date and the last one nearing out of date ( so far I have local airports filling them if the date stamp is ok, they don't know about the DOT stamp requirement regarding refills.) On the DG-400 as most of you know the bottle which has a smaller diameter than USA bottles and fits in a fiberglass sleeve that threads its way from the cockpit past the fuel tank without much room to spare. 90% of my flight time is on Oxygen in the Rockies so it is getting critical to solve this stalmate with oxygen bottle testing. DG-400 owners, what are you doing to solve this problem??? |
