The manufactor has keep those manuals secret (like Garmin does) so you have to send it to the factory. However, the factory will no longer look at it. Are you saying you would be willing to open the unit and service it for me??? -Robert |

But you should not one to shoot your mouth off, are you. Like there are no fuel injected 172's, wasn't that you? Wasn't that you, wrong about some other things also? Problem being friendly? Having read many of your posts, you shouldn't be acting the way you do. Thank's for reading.... |

Merely opening up the case is unlikely to be *illegal* on its face. It might be that, having opened it up, it can't be put back into service (as a transmitter) without the blessing of someone with the appropriate radio credentials. It might be that any repairs that are made have to be vetted by same credentialed repair person. It might be an old wives' tale. I don't know the answer, and I bet Jim does, but you haven't asked the right question. yours, Michael -- Michael and MJ Houghton | Herveus d'Ormonde and Megan O'Donnelly | White Wolf and the Phoenix narrowwares Bowie, MD, USA | http://whitewolfandphoenix.com Proud member of the SCA Internet Whitewash Squad |

In Canada a pilot isn't even allowed to remove and re-install a radio.
Actually not even tighten it up in it's tray, technically. Obviously those get ignored alot but opening the case, hmmmm. I'm sure his local(or not so local) FSDO will help him out.

Am I breaking rules when I remove my ELT and send it out for recert. |

Gee, if you ever need heart surgery I can do that for you. I can remove your heart. Apparently you don't think its relevant that I don't know how to put it back in. Once this unit is opened, it is a paper weight, there is no one who is legally able to return it to service so I'll have to live with it working intermitantly unless the cause is external. Gees, you'd think there would be an IQ test to use a computer. -Robert |

Actually I think elt removeal and re-installation is on TC's list of
pilot approved maintenance. Drew Dalgleish wrote: On Fri, 20 Apr 2007 19:17:56 -0400, The Visitor wrote: In Canada a pilot isn't even allowed to remove and re-install a radio.

Look up the list of approved pilot maintenance; for those items you can do and make the logbook entry. Also if you pull a radio or put one it you need to make the appropriate logbook entry. If you find anything post it here? |
