Hi Everyone,

 

First time in Western Australia - almost done my RPL.

 

Quick question (for which I can see no answer on the RAAUS site), I have done the L1 maintenance exam - which allows me to maintain my own aircraft. Can I make modifications to the instrumentation - eg Add an EFIS, Fuel flow monitor and transponder?

 

Any info apprectiated.

 

Thanks

 

Murray

Hi Murray,

 

You don't say if your aircraft is homebuilt (19 rego) or factory (24 rego). I think if homebuilt you can do any mods you like, but factory-built you still need to get approval from the manufacturer (and do a new weight/balance calc). I could be wrong, but why not call RAAus and ask the Tech Manager? They will be able to give a definitive answer.

 

Cheers,

 

Neil

Hi Neil,

 

Thanks for that - it is factory. I will give RAAus a ring and get the answer from the horses mouth - so to speak.

 

Thanks for your help

 

Cheers
