"I'm sorry, but there is just no excluse for buying a part at Autozone and thinking the FAA would bless it." It is blessed, because I asked my local FSDO when they came here for a PACE program. In many places you can buy your oil and filters at Walmart. |

I hardwired my GPS power cable and used a 1 amp fuse from Radio Shack. The list goes on. Hey, can you tell me how to find out what auto bulb would substitute for a #4591 (24 volt 100w I believe)? I'm sick of replacing $30 bulbs every 30 hours! Yep, see if there is a Q4591. That is the quartz halogen version of your bulb. It's the same wattage but uses the much more durable halogen bulb. It's also brighter. |

Boy, you are pretty confused aren't you. The discussion concerns people
buying FAA disapproved parts at an auto store and not knowing the FAA may have a problem with it. Parts that the FAA approves are not part of this discussion. I would suggest starting at the top of the thread in order to obtain proper context before jumping into the middle of a thread without an understanding of the discussion. -Robert |

You change topics so fast, you're having trouble keeping up with
yourself. This thread is about disapproved parts at autozone. If you'd like to discuss where to purchase approved parts, I would recommend startnig another thread. -Robert |

If you'd like to discuss where to purchase approved parts, I would recommend startnig another thread. No, this thread is about buying *approved* parts at Autozone. From the original post -- "You must buy the parts from an aviation source. Someone brought up that landing lights can be bought cheaper at automotive supply stores than from aviation outlets at a fraction of the cost. The FAA wouldn't hear of it. It does not matter if the part is made by the same company with an identical part number, if you didn't get it from an aviation source, then it is not an airworthy part. The Safety Inspector gave three examples, the light bulb above, an alternator belt, and an air filter." George Patterson I prefer Heaven for climate but Hell for company. |

How about giving us a heads up as to what you're replying to.

SO what your saying is that any part that is bought from other than an aviation store is a bogus part, regardless of the part number on the part. I guess this means that all parts bought at an aviation junk yard are not approved to use in aircraft since there is no verification of the traceability of the part. A part bought on Ebay can not be used on a certificated aircraft. This appears to be a Very Narrow view of whats allowed. Please show me the regulations which back your statements. I've never seen a "Aviation Disapproved Part" before. Is that in the small print somewheres? Dave Robert M. Gary wrote: Boy, you are pretty confused aren't you.

Absolutely. How could you even consider lying to your government? After all, it has never lied to you. Michael I agree. Ask any indian for verification |
