What notations, and where, if any are required to fly this plane legally regarding this?" What do you say? Airplanes are not required to have wheelpants. Many were sold without them. I'd ask the examiner why he assumes there should be notations about the absence of wheelpants. John Galban=====N4BQ (PA28-180) The 1980 Skyhawk and 1978 Cessna 152 handbooks, in the comprehensive list of available equipment, both give the weights and stations of the wheel pants if installed--with the a reminder note at the beginning of the section regarding the specific list for the particular airplane. I would presume that such a question would be asked to determine that the applicant understands that there is a list of installed equipment included for the particular airplane, which is to be carried in the airplane; and the absence of wheel pants which were included on said list, and/or thier carriage in the cargo area, must be made part of the weight and balance calculations for the particular flight. Clearly, therefore, the answer is that wheel pants are (or are not) part of the basic empty weight shown of the equipment list for that aircraft; and that the notations (if different) are shown on the weight and balance for the flight.

Was the plane type certified without wheel paints? If the paints came with the plane than you may not be in compliance with your certificate. If not then an A&P notation in the logs is required along with the statement "W&B change negaligable" or a new W&B. I don't recall if wheel paint R&R is covered in preventative maintenance but if it is, and its your plane, you may be able to make the notation. Paints or pants? |

My CFI said lighters are on the equipment list. Sure enough when I went home and looked at the equipment list of my airplane he was right, its right there. To change the equipment list you need an log entry. -Robert |
