Responsibility

Sure would be nice if someone in AUTHORITY at the FAA would just say:

With this Mfgrs struts this is the paperwork that has to be done, and do that with each Mfgr. Sure would be nice for a change. Doesn't seem much of a challenge, considering it is their documentation and so far they only have two mfgrs to deal with.

But then considering what I have seen of the government documentation perhaps I AM underestimating the challenge.

Re: Responsibility

What makes you think they have anyone in "authority".
They are all in authority so get to develop their own
interpretations.

Re: Responsibility

I feel bad polluting the forum with all this crap while trying to figure this out.

So I half apologize for that but I half don't too because you want to get the papers right and it should be simple.

I have seldom seen such confusion. But I also notice that no heavy weights are weighing in on this so it must really be confusing.

At this moment and for the last 28 hours I am convinced that the event that spawned all this crap is Airframe Inc's statement that you do not need a 337 for their STC and the Anchorage ACO listing the struts manufactured for the STC as replacement parts rather than modification parts.

Half sorry, Dave.

You get what you pay for here!

Re: Responsibility

I see that it's real simple, buy the struts, install them and then fill out the 337 for the STC, Finished. Its not that hard....Tim

Re: Responsibility

Tim, I have to think that one would do that right after he figures out which manufacturer's struts require a 337 or if neither of them does, or both of them do.

We are still getting different stories from different "authorities." Eventually I am going to have to drop all this on my inspector; I feel sorry for him.

The horse I am beating isn't dead but rather staked down to the ground with conflicting interpretations of status/regulations.

I'm personally just waiting until it finally gets straightened out, and I probably should cool it with the rhetoric until then.
