"certified' parts

Absolutely. How could you even consider lying to your government?
After all, it has never lied to you.

I agree. Ask any indian for verification

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.

Uh... Ok, just where does it say that I'm going to be placed under oath when I
talk to the FSDO?

If the FSDO charges you and you don't go along with their opinion, you
go before an administrative judge. Those procedures usually require you
be under oath. I'm sure you're an honest person and would only lie when
not under oath.

Now you've switched things around to a court. Yesterday the FSDO was putting me
under oath. Make up your mind. Ok, we're in court -- and I take the 5th. End of
discussion.

In any case, the regs state that the parts must be approved. There is no reg
that states that I must buy my approved parts from a vendor such as Aircraft
Spruce. If there is no reg, not even the FAA can charge me with violating it.
There is also no reg that states that I must tell the FAA where I bought my
parts.

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

I thought of that question after we left. I am curious, because the
only way you could prove that you bought it from an aviation source is
with a receipt.

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service letter makes the manual out of date and unusable.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).

Neat. Mine only saw the light of day when I handed it to the IA at annual time.

Do you stand on them to better reach the oil spout?
