The real issue still remains. In Canada I suppose if a person worked on
his own avionics he could return them to service if it was some sort of
experimental aircraft. Perhaps not. Perhaps it would need to be marked as
unservicable. Because it could otherwise be sold one day to a person with
a normally registered aircraft.

The OP was from the States. I answered because my expertise is in avionics
as it applies to the States. Canada is not my field and I won't debate the
victorian rules of Canada.


I was just asking you....

"If he opens it up, isn't there some sort of qualifications he needs to
certify it and return it to service?"

And I asked because is seems from your post, that a person can. If
clarifying your opinion is too risky, I understand.

The States rules specify that the CALIBRATION of radio equipment is a major
repair. There are other sections that specify who can and cannot perform a
major repair. If you don't CALIBRATE the sucker, then all else is minor or
preventive, including fixit.

One of the regular posters in this NG notes with tongue firmly in cheek that
if you connect the radio to the landing light switch, then "repairing broken
circuits in landing light wiring" is specifically permitted in the
preventive maintenance that can be done by the owner.



Instead of biting my ankles, can't you two keep each other busy. You seem
to have mutual interests.


I've met some real nice Canadians and some real assholes, just like
everywhere else. You tip to the right of the previous sentence.
