So MYRO had its Permit Inspection today and I had to nip behind the inspector doing\/redoing little bits of wire locking, replacing dodgy cable ties that might chafe, stuff like that. I also had to slacken off the front suspension bolts that I’d tightened up too much and move the safety tie on the exhaust. Not surprisingly I thought, the fabric being Ultralam sailed through its Betts Test and at the end of the day MYRO would have been signed off.<\/p>\n
However, as I thought might happen, I hadn’t received my Mod paperwork back for the prop and the aux 12V electrical sockets, and I also discovered that whereas I’d assumed that the ‘Trading Fuel for Weight’ rules would encompass the extra tank that is needed to contain the additional fuel that can be traded off against the weight being carried, this is not so. The tank itself also has to be treated as a Mod in its own right which is never stated in the documentation. Stupid of me, but I hadn’t realised \ud83d\ude10<\/p>\n
So at the end of the day I’ve been frustrated by administration and paperwork. If I’m lucky I’ll get all the paperwork for all three Mods sorted out by next week-end, otherwise I’ll be delayed and prevented from flying for even longer.<\/p>\n
I also have to replace a few clevis pin safety rings but doing that pales into insignificance compared to having all of the paperwork sorted. Frankly I am becoming bemused by it all, especially as I have spent almost the whole of the last three days or so getting it organised and still haven’t succeeded. It wouldn’t have hurt the author of the Trade Fuel for Weight Rules to have spelt out the requirement to get the extra tankage separately approved, but such simple common sense is apparently a bit too much to ask \ud83d\ude15<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
