All preventative maintenance must be logged, including updating the database on your GPS unit. So, if you have updated your GPS database and did not log it, you're not airworthy. This one caught a lot of pilots. However, you don't have to update your database to be legal. This is per a briefing we received from the FAA last month. What is true is that you must be able to verify the latitude and longitude of any waypoint you use for navigation. So, if you checked the latitude and longitude of your GPS nav fixes by hand before flight, even if your database is out of date, you can still use the GPS for navigation. Paul Missman |

Some supplemental POHs require a current database for conducting a GPS instrument approach. I'd be very surprised if that weren't considered a violation of the airworthiness certificate if your supplemental POH has that wording. Maybe you intentionally made a distinction between approaches and "navigation"? DGB |

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 Missing a service letter makes the manual out of date and unusable.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). -Robert, CFI and Mooney owner. |

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. -Robert |

If you're willing to lie to an FAA official, why stop there?

Now, before everyone flames me and tells me I'm an idiot, these are not my opinions, they are the opinions of the Safety Inspectors at Washington - Dulles FSDO. What do you mean by "safety inspectors." If you're talking about our Aviation safety counselors, they are idiots. Do not believe anything they say is correct or has any regulatory signfiicance with the FAA. Manuals: You must have current service manuals to do any (including preventative) maintenance on your bird. Bull****. You need those appropriate to what you are doing. Parts: You must buy the parts from an aviation source. You must buy parts that meet the regulatory requirements. I'm not even sure what an aviation source is supposed to mean. However, the point about aviation parts vs. equivelent looking non-avaition parts is well taken. |

As Dave says, this depends on the GPS and the associated AFM supplement. ISTR that Garmin allows you to check the waypoints, whereas King does not. |
