Didn't he say that what goes on behind closed hanger doors is not the
government's business?

Did Mr. FAA say what reg requires me to retain all the receipts?

All preventative maintenance must be logged, including
updating the database on your GPS unit. So, if you
have updated your GPS database and did not log it, you're
not airworthy. This one caught a lot of pilots.


However, you don't have to update your database to be legal. This is per a
briefing we received from the FAA last month.

What is true is that you must be able to verify the latitude and longitude
of any waypoint you use for navigation.

So, if you checked the latitude and longitude of your GPS nav fixes by hand
before flight, even if your database is out of date, you can still use the
GPS for navigation.

Some supplemental POHs require a current database for conducting a GPS
instrument approach. I'd be very surprised if that weren't considered a
violation of the airworthiness certificate if your supplemental POH has that
wording.

Maybe you intentionally made a distinction between approaches and "navigation"?

Manuals:
You must have current service manuals to do any (including
preventative)
maintenance on your bird. That includes all service letters. A few
pilots grumbled that certain companies will not send the service
letters
to the owners. The Safety Inspector said that didn't matter. Missing
a
service letter makes the manual out of date and unusable.

Well ,I hate to bust the FAA's bubble but,For a part 91
operator,Service letters are NOT part of the maintenance manual. Nor
are mandatory service bulletins.. joe

Give me a break. I can't imagine that there really exists aircraft
owners out there that don't already know this stuff. How could anyone
own an airplane and not already be familiar with this? If someone
really thinks its legal to buy a belt from an automotive shop and put
it on their plane, you wonder how they ever had the intelligence to
pass the PP written. I always bring my service manuals out to the plane
when I'm doing any kind of work (including oil changes).

So when you get brought into the FSDO, you raise your right hand, swear
to tell the truth, etc, you're going to just lie about where you bought
the part because you weren't required to produce a receipt? Give me a
break. Think is an empty argument.

If you're willing to lie to an FAA official, why stop there?

my opinions, they are the opinions of the Safety Inspectors at
Washington - Dulles FSDO.


What do you mean by "safety inspectors." If you're talking about our
Aviation safety counselors, they are idiots. Do not believe anything
they say is correct or has any regulatory signfiicance with the FAA.


Manuals:
You must have current service manuals to do any (including preventative)
maintenance on your bird.


Bull****. You need those appropriate to what you are doing.

Parts:
You must buy the parts from an aviation source.


You must buy parts that meet the regulatory requirements. I'm not even
sure what an aviation source is supposed to mean. However, the point
about aviation parts vs. equivelent looking non-avaition parts is well
taken.

As Dave says, this depends on the GPS and the associated AFM
supplement.

ISTR that Garmin allows you to check the waypoints, whereas King does
not.
