Aero led is PMAd, Whelen is an STC. IA wasn't happy about me putting in my own Whelen in the log book. Keep in mind you will have to have the STC paperwork and pay your IA to log it. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

We have an airport dog. He never has never had any interest in running airplanes, and is pretty much trained to go the other direction when he hears a ‘clear prop’ but will always come in the hangar or office to visit. Airport manager says he scares the birds and deer away so we keep him around. Now the kids.... after 3 years on earth I finally feel confident that my youngest has the common sense to walk away from a running plane. Uhg. My point is that kids, dogs, elephants immersed in the tarmac environment will eventually be trained to what’s safe and what’s not. My lab is well trained, but I would never even think about taking him out to the hangar. Not the right environs. Now I worry about complacency from being around it all the time. I let the kids ride scooters on the hangar row but they are not allowed to go on the ramp. The 3 yr old walks around most FBOs like he owns the place. But I still have to keep an eye on them, there’s no way I could do a preflight without another adult there. In fact I would get so stressed out that flying w family was a chore. We have a system down, but it took a while. Heads always on a swivel when on the tarmac. Even at our sleepy airport. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
