jetdriven Posted January 14, 2014 Report Posted January 14, 2014 Good luck. What a fiasco for such a minor instrument replacement! Be glad you're not installing a GPS or something similar... We installed a used eBay KLN-89B GPS to replace the loran. No 8130. No 337. Its also a minor alteration if installed for VFR use. I'd find a new IA, that would be easier than going through all this rogamarole over a simple alteration. Quote

At OSH , two years ago, I asked the FAA if a form 337 was required to remove the Loran. The answer was clear: whatever came in with a 337 must come out with a form 337 !!! Actually, I did not take it out , they did. Quote

Actually, I did not take it out , they did. Actually, the Northstar LORAN was removed and the Northstar GPS was installed a few years ago. We replaced that with a VFR KLN-89B. I think they previous owners did a 337 for the GPS install. But I havent heard about filling out a 337 to remove an alteration. If you removed the LORAN you were just returning it to the stock configuration, IE, no LORAN. What if you installed a set of the LASAR fiberglass landing gear doors. 337 and all that. But you didnt like them and reinstalled the factory gear doors. Is that an "alteration" to remove an alteration and return it to the stock configuration? My IA said removing "like for like" equipment was a log entry. So did Avionics Unlimited. Same with the WX-8 to WX-1000 install we just did. Log entry. Quote
N201MKTurbo Posted January 14, 2014 Report Posted January 14, 2014 Sure but the thermometer in my car, the wall on the shop, and the Wunderground site on my iPhone all also said 57 F. Im pretty sure that the probe is accurate. Far more so than the inop Westach guage I removed and the thermometers that stick through the windshield. The Scott thermometer in my old M20F was very accurate. Quote
Awqward Posted January 21, 2014 Report Posted January 21, 2014 The IA (previous owner's IA) is sticking to the Major Alteration route....sending me the 337.... Quote
