Ah this is where the argument decends into finer and finer minutae of
nothing. I will not bother chasing your leads, because on the surface of your post I can tell you maintenace items are delt with in the MCM not an OM. Have you ever been to Canada? Or only on your flight sim? So again, your own advice applies to the very same post, please be busy enough not to post misinformation. Even if I was wrong, it doesn't excuse the way you wrote to me. It is called acting like a t&$#. But you won't see that, like so many other things you will miss. I don't even care if I am right or wrong. You seem pretty wrapped up in something pretty small. Find someone with _your_ kind of spare time. Maybe Jim who seems to think anybody can work on their avionics and return them to service. |

But take the easy out if you want to. The real issue still remains. In Canada I suppose if a person worked on his own avionics he could return them to service if it was some sort of experimental aircraft. Perhaps not. Perhaps it would need to be marked as unservicable. Because it could otherwise be sold one day to a person with a normally registered aircraft. I was just asking you.... "If he opens it up, isn't there some sort of qualifications he needs to certify it and return it to service?" And I asked because is seems from your post, that a person can. If clarifying your opinion is too risky, I understand. Instead of biting my ankles, can't you two keep each other busy. You seem to have mutual interests. John |

Perhaps it would need to be marked as unservicable. Because it could otherwise be sold one day to a person with a normally registered aircraft. The OP was from the States. I answered because my expertise is in avionics as it applies to the States. Canada is not my field and I won't debate the victorian rules of Canada. I was just asking you.... "If he opens it up, isn't there some sort of qualifications he needs to certify it and return it to service?" And I asked because is seems from your post, that a person can. If clarifying your opinion is too risky, I understand. The States rules specify that the CALIBRATION of radio equipment is a major repair. There are other sections that specify who can and cannot perform a major repair. If you don't CALIBRATE the sucker, then all else is minor or preventive, including fixit. One of the regular posters in this NG notes with tongue firmly in cheek that if you connect the radio to the landing light switch, then "repairing broken circuits in landing light wiring" is specifically permitted in the preventive maintenance that can be done by the owner. Instead of biting my ankles, can't you two keep each other busy. You seem to have mutual interests. I've met some real nice Canadians and some real assholes, just like everywhere else. You tip to the right of the previous sentence. Jim |

(Okay Jimbo, I accept your implication that you do not converse with anyone who does not use their full name. And also what you think of them. Wow, I never realized how easy computers are to use.) I am pretty tired these days but that is just the sort if thing someone says because they want to divert away from the facts. Sort of a way to take the offence and back-peddle at the same time. After all, probably more than half this newsgroup don't use their full name and you seem okay with them doing so. Oh, perhaps you have gotten yourself in the corner before with others and reached for the same "out". Please, you two resolve the issues in this thread. I will believe whatever mature conclusion you two agree on concerning the technical aspects of maintaining one's own avionics. It is obviously an issue the two of you are passionate about. There are alot of nice people in this newsgroup. And some I have come to respect and like. Life is what you look for. John |

Impressive response, but my question was not answered. I will restate it. "If he opens it up, isn't there some sort of qualifications he needs to certify it and return it to service?" That was my origonal question, you seemed to have a reaction to. I wasn't trying to tell you anything. But I guess I should have known better than to ask a question. In Canada radios get "green tags" and avionics shops have to meet certain qualifications and be certified to do so. It costs them a lot of $$$ to do so. They even put stickers on the radio case and withness paint on the screws. Strangely they did at some of the US shops I have visited. That's all, I just didn't know a private owner could return it to service in the United States. |

Howdy!

The manufactor has keep those manuals secret (like Garmin does) so you have to send it to the factory. However, the factory will no longer look at it. Are you saying you would be willing to open the unit and service it for me??? You initial statement was a bald assertion that opening the unit was *illegal* for you to do. Now you say that someone (unnamed) told you this. Perhaps you could examine the relevant regulations to see what rules apply in what way. Merely opening up the case is unlikely to be *illegal* on its face. It might be that, having opened it up, it can't be put back into service (as a transmitter) without the blessing of someone with the appropriate radio credentials. It might be that any repairs that are made have to be vetted by same credentialed repair person. It might be an old wives' tale. This is without a doubt the stupidest reply I've ever seen on USNET. Gee, if you ever need heart surgery I can do that for you. I can remove your heart. Apparently you don't think its relevant that I don't know how to put it back in. Once this unit is opened, it is a paper weight, there is no one who is legally able to return it to service so I'll have to live with it working intermitantly unless the cause is external. Clearly, you have read very little on USENET. I'm just responding to your words. Your story keeps changing with each reply. Can you cite actual regulations that support your claims? You've been asked in various ways to do so, but you have shown no inclination to do so. That speaks poorly of your ability to reason from facts. You continue to insist that if you open it up, it can never be returned to service. On what grounds (citations required) do you make that claim? I hypothesized a number of possible explanations for your claim, but have no reason to try to do your homework for you. In addition, I see no reason for you to get abusive in your reply. The fact that you have done so speaks volumes of your character. Gees, you'd think there would be an IQ test to use a computer. Would you get special dispensation to not have to take it? yours, Michael -- Michael and MJ Houghton | Herveus d'Ormonde and Megan O'Donnelly | White Wolf and the Phoenix narrowwares Bowie, MD, USA | http://whitewolfandphoenix.com Proud member of the SCA Internet Whitewash Squad |
