    Assuming this is about RAAus aircraft, (since RAAus was mentioned) why not read the first two paras in section 12.8 of the RAAus Tech Manual instead of all this guesswork and mis-information? I'm not in RAAus, and I found it in about one minute of looking online. It's been there, unchanged, for the last three years. When it doubt about something, just check the facts out for yourself, it won't take long. Never blindly rely on what "someone" told you - too many people do this as their first and only option, why?? Check the facts, in many cases you might be pleasantly surprised. Questions/topics of similar nature would best be posed not as "what is the answer I seek?" but "where do I find the answer I seek?" And there I end the lesson, not by giving you the answer you seek (after all, I'm just another "someone"), but guiding you to where it is where you can see it for yourself, and no guesswork is required. Good hunting.

    FAR 45.22 covers the "NX" registration marks. basically, old aircraft, or a replica of an old aircraft, with an experimental certificate, and a few other things thrown in the pot.

    Not by a long shot. I’d think something French, just can’t pick it.

    The trademark has now been cancelled - it's easy to find in the public domain.

    $500.00 was the cost, paid in Nov 2017. It's easy to look up in the public domain. One would imagine you could just as easily cancel such a trademark at any time with the dept of trademarks. In fact, yep, you sure can, and it's free.

    Pop back up to the propbits link.

    Same mob, still there at MB, (not at 9) but not so help-yourself-free-range as it was, but still, they have what you need and will sell you one or a hundred, and are happy to do so.

    SAAA doesn't have such an engine course, and have no qualifications to do so, but some members in Sydney did sorta run some sort of engine maintenance workshop a while back. That's probably what you heard about. A friend had Steve Hobby do some prop refurb work not so long ago, he was most happy to be involved.

    Find another engineer. Rob at Maryborough, Steve(?) Hobby at Wang are two I know are not scared of exp. There will be plenty more I'm sure. Good on ya too for seeking professional input when you believe you need it.:spot on:Keep lookin, they're out there.

    The business is still there at MOOrabbin, but moved around the corner many many years ago Propbits I think AVIALL does tempest filters. Also, Greg Bell at GEE BEEs at Essendon can get things from some places that don't care to deal with us plebs individually. Tempest stuff included, I'm fairly sure. Funny story - a mate needed a new mega $$$$ engine, the dealer (wherever) wouldn't deal with him because he didn't have an account, a business, or some such twaddle. So he had his son's workshop interstate order it, saved a bunch of $, then took his trailer in... "I'm here to pick up that engine you wouldn't sell me last month." This sort of stuff still goes on.

    Thanks P. Where's a computer nerd when you need one........ I hate technology........................

    Here's a question for the panel: Why is it so, that via my desktop PC, Oshkosh airport on google maps shows no aircraft, but via an iPad, there they all are arriving and parked. Google Earth shows nothing also. If you zoom in near the white 172, I'm there in the yellow shirt....

    Most Lycomings are actually factory approved to use an automotive fuel specification - see LYC SI 1070Z. The O-320-D is one of them. However........ the required specification of the fuel is ASTM D4814, or EN228. The kicker here is, our fuels here in OZ aren't made to that spec, as far as I can see. Probably the same stuff in reality, but it has to be to that exact spec to use it. Those, and those only, are the ones Lycoming approves. Close enough aint close enough. Then, the aircraft manufacturer has a say in the matter also. Even in USA, obtaining that exact spec fuel would be rather difficult in reality. 93AKI gas sold at the pump could be any sort of slop, you just don't know. US gas pumps have all the different blends coming out of the one same hose and nozzle too. Interesting topic.

    Part 149

    440032 replied to ShaneA's topic in Governing Bodies

    Yes, 17 disgusting and unnecessary threats in Aust Part 149: "A person commits an offence of strict liability if....." 37% of the 46 regulations have these threats, which in themselves aren't even regulations, they are just statements/threats.

    Part 149

    440032 replied to ShaneA's topic in Governing Bodies

    Part 149 New Zealand - 18 regulations. Part 149 Australia - 46 regulations, plus Manual of Standards not yet in existence which will have many more rules. Part 149 USA - no such thing.

    There were about four or five major university displays at Oshkosh, promoting their US aviation courses, both pilotting I guess, and maintenance careers. FAA says: You must get 18 months of practical experience with either power plants or airframes, or 30 months of practical experience working on both at the same time. As an alternative to this experience requirement, you can graduate from an FAA-Approved Aviation Maintenance Technician School. Look on the FAA website, there are over a hundred colleges where you can do your Airframe & Powerplant training. So two pathways exist to getting a basic licence to start your career. In the USA. But here?
