bmcconnaha Posted September 9, 2020 Report Posted September 9, 2020 previous owner had an A&P install a skytek starter. he didnt update the W&B, just said empty weight decreased by 9.7lbs. i want to redo the w&b and give it to my a&p to look at and sign for me. plane is 300 miles away at the moment, and i dont have access to the equipment list. could anyone share theirs? looking for the page with the starter, and if the strobe boxes are on the equipment list. all three (both wings and tail) thanks in advance! Bryan PS: plane is a 1990 J Quote
carusoam Posted September 9, 2020 Report Posted September 9, 2020 There is plenty of of discussion around here regarding WnB updates... mistakes that go as far back as the factory... And very little standardization going back that far... The usual next step includes re-weighing... which may work out well... PP thoughts only, not a mechanic... Best regards, -a- 2 Quote

hypertech Posted September 9, 2020 Report Posted September 9, 2020 You can redo it starting from the factory number and including all changes. I did that one year at annual. The IA went over it line by line to make sure all changes were there and the numbers were right and then signed it. Its the new baseline now and correct. Some stations are provided in the type certificate. Two starter options are given on the J at -23 inches. If you took off one of those and the skytec went in the same place, that should give the info needed to do the W&B. https://rgl.faa.gov/Regulatory_and_Guidance_Library/rgMakeModel.nsf/0/6ea0f05ecca8304486258305006833cf/$FILE/2A3_Rev_58.pdf 2 Quote
