Should Brass or Stainless safety wire be used on my 601XL? I've looked 

in AC43-13 and only found an a bit about using Brass for safetying 

certain emergency type items that may need to be removed.



It seems like I've seen stainless in the 172 I've been renting so I 

assume that would be fine ?



Thanks,

I am not an A&P, just a pilot (retired). This is what I have seen on military and commercial aircraft: Stainless is used on hardware to prevent movement or backing off.  I have seen brass used only on things that need to be secured but can be broken if you're a little scared. Such things as door jettison handles, the knob that you pull to "blow down" the landing gear, the guard that covers a switch that is used to jettison something in flight. Also, its used to prevent the safety pin on hand held aircraft fire extinguishers from falling out. I agree that AC 43.13 should not be so vague on this issue. Good luck.
