Installing a landing light blinker in an Archer
The specific exemption in part 43 is for TROUBLESHOOTING a landing light
circuit, not adding a part to it. Jim -- "It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it." --Aristotle "Steve Foley" wrote in message ... "RST Engineering" wrote in message m... Minor modifications as delineated in FAR part 43 can be accomplished with a logbook entry by an airframe mechanic. Parts for a person's own aircraft may be personally fabricated in accordance with 21.303(b)(2). Jim -- Isn't there also a specific exemption for a landing light circuit? |

Installing a landing light blinker in an Archer
The particular question in the Archer was how to hook up the pulsed output
across the landing-light switch. Since the LL rocker is essentially inaccessible to everyone except the original assembly workers at Piper Having installed our AvTek Pulsar (AKA: "The Blinky Thing") in Atlas, I can assure you that the back of the landing light rocker switch is accessible. Once you remove enough screws, the entire bank of rocker switches can be pulled forward, allowing barely adequate access to the backside of the switch. It's not fun -- there are a lot of wires to be moved out of the way, which always entails risk of damaging (or disconnecting) something else behind the panel -- but I got 'er done. It also helps if you can dislocate your wrists, and can actually see something at a distance of 9" - 14" from your face -- a distance that I'm virtually blind at... -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 Ercoupe N94856 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |
