Do your fuel vent lines turn forward into the air stream, or are they cut 45* toward the air stream? Would that make a difference?
My fist flight, HR II, N145HR, Fox Field, Lancaster, Ca, is about two weeks away. I'm ready now but my Garmin 330 transponder has an AD which requires the unit be sent to Garmin. Turn around is two long weeks. I discovered the AD when I inquired about the pitot static sytem check. The AD requires compliance after the required transponder pitot static system check.
FAR 91.205(a) (civil aircraft) require all the equipment in the plane to be operable at the time when the airworthiness certificate is issued? That's the way I understand it.... even AD's? I now about FAR 91.213 approved equip list, but that's not applicable.

Thanks,

Jim,
The Garmin 330 transponder AD is: mandatory, covered under warranty, and required compliance after the biannual pitot static system check.
I went to the Garmin web site and pasted the following service notice located in their "Service Alert" file.
Today, Garmin is providing a software update (v3.06) for its GTX 330, 330D, 33 and 33D Mode S
transponders. The company has issued mandatory service bulletins, requiring aftermarket customers and
OEMs to install the v3.06 software on these products. The v3.06 software update supersedes all previous
updates related to FAA Airworthiness Directive 2004-10-15, which addresses a potential air-to-air safety issue
between GTX 330/330D-equipped aircraft and those installed with various TAS, TCAD and TCAS I
equipment.
AD 2004-10-15 lists a potential safety issue in which Garminâs Mode S transponders may intermittently
suppress an air-to-air interrogation from aircraft using certain collision-avoidance systems. While pilots
flying with respective Garmin equipment will see nearby aircraft via TIS, it is possible that they may not be
âvisibleâ to certain traffic-awareness systems in nearby aircraft. Garmin equipped aircraft remain
appropriately âvisibleâ within the normal operating range of FAA Terminal and ARTCC RADAR.
The AD specifies corrective action, including installation of the software update at a certified repair center.
Garmin encourages its customers to contact their avionics dealer or the companyâs field-service engineering
staff with any questions or concerns regarding the AD.

Jim,
My fuel vents face forward also, thanks for the info.
I went to the Garmin web site and found the AD under their "Service Alert" file, posted Aug 27, 2004, and pasted it below. Looks like it also applies to the 330D, (European mandate mode S level 2) 33 and 33D transponders (remote mounted transponders).

This is the second time I sent this message. The first message may have not been posted .... I never saw it on the Matronics web site.

Thanks Mark,
I'm thinking my unit is ok since it is only 6 months old.
I guess I should find out for sure.
