Becker radio AD
FAA ISSUES AD FOR BECKER TRANSCEIVERS
The FAA has issued an airworthiness directive for about 1,000 Becker Flugfunkwerk 4201 VHF AM transceivers. The AD requires adding a limitation to the aircraft flight manual and a cockpit placard due to intermittent malfunctioning of the transceiver, or removing it from service. Compliance time is five days after the effective date of the November 19 AD. For more visit the Web site ( http://www.aopa.org/epilot/redir.cfm?adid=5703 ). |

Since the addition to the POH and cockpit plackard are limitation to
VFR flight only, US gliders should not have to comply due to their VFR nature already. Does anyone have any experience in exempting gliders from this type of AD?

Since I do have a Becker 4201 (S/N: 9499) in my LS, I did review the
FAA directive and found that non-compliance will suspend my IFR privileges. I can live, that is soar with that... Bela |

New models of the Becker 4201 are not affected. I just purchased mine and
the serial number is above those listed. It will be nice to get it installed before it becomes obsolete. Colin N12HS --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com). Version: 6.0.783 / Virus Database: 529 - Release Date: 10/25/04 |
