  1. I'm not a lawyer, but having two opposite interpretations with no changes in the FARs in-between leaves zero interpretation. I understand someone has already requested additional clarification. That takes years to get. Considering this is STANDARD PRACTICE, the first letter is and will be considered to be correct. In a real legal battle, should one arise, these FAA-legal letters are just the first step. He has already contacted the factory and they also agreed that he was taught incorrectly and there is nothing to worry about. BRCC, I guess you're not going to correct you're teachers????????? Absolutely shameful! You're class should be audited by the FAA.
  2. So, after you folks gave this class, I got a very confused and concerned phone call from a participant of your latest class saying his S-LSA is "illegal" and he doesn't know what to do. The aircraft is currently within condition inspection. He took the LSRM class and all available Rotax classes available at this past session. I finally got to talk to him today about the teachings of your class. Just who is teaching these classes? The recent student is older and doesn't know too much about aviation regulation in regards to maintenance. This was his first introduction. He doesn't have access to the internet. (I'm not sure if he even has a computer). One of your instructors incorrectly stated that his S-LSA was illegal and the person who last signed off on it could go to jail!! Why? Because the propeller is over 5 years old. It's in otherwise perfect condition. Your instructor suggested to contact the factory and he would have to get a ferry permit. This guy gets fixated on the concept and is freaked out about this! Here's the problem --- The instructor is spewing BS! Why is someone allowed to teach if they don't know the subject? I refer you to the FAA letter Charles Willette - Dodge Center Aviation. Time limits are NOT mandatory. You can inspect on condition. This makes be wonder what else wasn't taught, or taught incorrectly. Was other alternative that is acceptable to the FAA ever taught? Did the teacher even talk about AC 43-13? I sure hope everyone in that class didn't leave with a whole bunch of misinformation. I'm sorry this post is blunt, but having someone in a teaching/authority position telling others misinformation is absolutely unacceptable. To be clear, I've never touched this guy's LSA. I just know him and I was the one who suggested he go to your class. Now I feel I made a huge mistake suggesting it. willette-dodgecenteraviation - (2013) legal interpretation.pdf
  3. I suggest some look at this differently. The user "Safety Officer" took the time to make a pretty extensive post full of information. Instead of saying "thanks" or perhaps critiquing anything in the post, you crap all over it because you don't know the user's real name. Then, the logic becomes that the post is bad data because you don't know the user's name. To put it politely, that's absolutely foolish. There have been plenty of times well known "names" give bad advise. Name or no name make no difference as to the value of said advise. Having a title or no title doesn't makes no difference. If you feel otherwise, you're bound to be fooled. So, does anyone have anything to say about the actual post by S.O.? Does anyone agree with the content he/she posted (for free)? Or does anyone have a critique of the content?
  4. To follow up on this, I got a second WiFi module for the second screen. Everything works; it broadcasts the SSID and Skyview says it's "ONLINE". So, a great way to add the new feature without spending an excessive amount of cash.
  5. If anyone has been considering adding the WiFi setup to their Skyview, you don't need to buy the WiFi sticks from Dynon. I just tested a "Edimax EW-7811Un" USB WiFi stick in one of my Skyviews. It recognized it and was happy. The Edimax is only $10. (Amazon sells it). The Dynon branded stick is $35. ....and you have to have one per screen. So, I wasn't interested in spending $70, but I'm happy to spend $20. Thought just occured... Do you CT users have Skyview firmware which supports the WiFi? I hear they attempt restrict/control that. Hamburger seems to think an update is a world ending event...
