Dear LJ, Yes, it's the form, fit & function argument along with compatible part numbers that I believe makes this PMA by other than the OEM solution acceptable. Thanks.

Well, if you must, Preferred Airparts in Kidron, Ohio would seem a likely possibility. They have their own private, corporate runway. KARR to OH22 is 308nm SE. But if you want to make sure that that...

This sounds like you're considering jacking the nose wheel off the ground using only a front jack. IMHO that's a poor idea. The front jack point is primarily used to stabilize the aircraft while...

This aircraft just had its registration renewed on 3/21/2023 in the name of Wyoming Valley Air, LLC of Old Forge, Pennsylvania. So it does not seem to be the abandoned, unloved derelict as it might...

This is not an "inspection" per se but rather a replacement of defective parts. The language of the S.B. is not clear but it appears that the affected part numbers were manufactured after 5/20/2019....

The trailing edge is comprised of a simple flat sheet of 0.018" material folded in half with a 1/16" radius on the bend. A.C. fabricates the part in house on their bending brake.

I have recently found myself in need of a skin repair to the trailing edge of the elevator. It's a long story having to do with a snow plow and a hangar door that I won't go into here. I retained the...

I briefly considered altering the engine mount spacer but that would change the entire dynafocal geometry. Wasn't willing to go there. A work-around that I do believe has merit is to add a spacer to...

alternate solution

An impact screw driver will also likely solve the problem. Their advantage is that they simultaneously seat the bit into the screw head and apply a torque to the screw. One only needs to break the...
