Posted: Thu Jun 08, 2006 5:09 pm Post subject: Removing DME |
|
|
After some avionics work last year the previously working DME now
doesn't. It took the shop some time to get things working and I don't
want to go back for the DME. I'd like to remove it. I'm planning on
getting the airplane weighed soon. Can I take out the DME and
associated wiring and then have the plane wieghed and all will be legal?

Just take it out and calculate the W&B change. You don't have to reweigh
the aircraft. But and A&P does have to do the calculation and sign the
revised form.

Thanks Cliff,
I know an A&P has to update the revised W&B and since I planned to
have it weighed anyway I thought that would probably kill 2 birds.
You know how these 30-year old planes are. W&B calculated many times
every time something installed/removed, replaced. I would venture to
say that if they haven't been weighed since they left the factory it
is probably only coincidental if the actual W&B matches the latest
revision. A doubler here and there, plastice dorsal fin replaced with
fiberglass, old wiring left by the avionics shop after an upgrade.
You can probably tell stories about it better than me, I'm just the
owner/pilot.

You are absolutely right Scott. Weigh it if you can.

That'll work. If you haven't weighed it lately, or ever, you'll be surprised how much it weighs.
