Hey all - 



I'm considering putting the TAS600 active traffic system into my 10, so

I called up Avidyne and asked if they have an install kit that you can

buy.  I'm working on the fuse, so now would be the time to install the

antennas and such.  Also, it splits up the investment into a couple

smaller payments that don't look quite so bad.  The part number for the

kit with all antennas and tray is 71-2026 for anyone else who is

interested.  It's $3055 according to the guy at Avidyne. Total cost for

the system is $9900. 



My question is - the sales rep said something about having to have an IA

inspect the install of the unit, or do the install.  Really?  He said

something like "it's the same thing you have to do after you install

your chelton..."  Really?  Someone has to inspect my installation of my

avionics?  I certainly don't pretend to be very knowledgeable about

what's required legally when you build, but I'd have thought I would

have heard a bit about that.  Anyone have any thoughts about this?

I'm sure the guy you talked to just wasn't used to dealing

with the experimental world.

The IA must be thinking that because of the more than 600 units sold and

the exceptional quality of such birds as Debbie's, then it must be a

certificated production aircraft.  Production Certificateds would

require such a modification process requiring an IA signature on the 337

form.



I think your approach and investment will pay dividends.  I believe you

are good to go, and I for one will be thrilled to hear your journey.

Chris:

 

I concur with Tim.  Do you have the name of who you talked to?  I'll be sure to set them straight . . .

 

We've got a TAS system going in our -10 and Debbie Dewey's already got one flying, I think . . .
