My switches are bunched together quite tightly, to get the 

labels into place I want to abbreviate some of the labels - is 

this 'legal' ?



Here are some examples:



ALT/BATT

L.MAG

R.IGN

FUEL PMP

POSN/STRB

LNDG LGHT

Your amateur-built experimental airplane doesn't have to conform to Part 23. 

Your DAR may feel otherwise.  My 2 cents is to contact your DAR (figure out 

now who that will be if you don't know yet) and see what he/she says.  For 

what it's worth, your abbreviations are very similar to what I've got on 

my -7.



The only other thing I have to comment on is the fuel pimp switch...  



do not archive

Your aircraft is insected IAW FAA Order 8130.2F (Change 1 is latest as of 

June 23, 2006).

FAA Order 8130.2F PAR 147(c) require cockpit instruments marked properly, 

needed placards installed and placed for easy reference. All system controls 

properly marked, CB's clearly marked, and function as intended.   (from page 

154-155)



Do not forget that you can use TWO (2) rows of names over the switches.



ie:

Left   Fuel     LND

Mag   Pump  Light



I know of no regulation that says you cannot use an abbeiviation.  Your 

operating limitations will require that you inspect the markings at each 

condition inspection.

Many Transport Category aircraft use abbreviations on switch labels.   

I would make sure that the abbreviations were well documented in your  

POH.
