CS-STAN V.4. – installation of Alcor 46156 EGT/CHT instrumentation and probes

Ava

I have admitted before that I am not very good at looking up the CS-STAN. I will admit that again, sorry.

I want to install a legacy Alcor EGT/CHT instrument (part no 46156) and related probes.

I have looked through (searched) the CS-STAN version 4, and it would seem to me that the correct reference would be CS-SC208a INSTALLATION OF A MULTIFUNCTION DISPLAY FOR POWERPLANT INSTRUMENTS.

1. “Configuration 1: The installation or exchange of an optional a multifunction display for powerplant instruments is not required by the aircraft certification basis.”
2. “All the parts used in Configuration 1 are eligible for installation without an EASA Form 1.”

Would this be the correct details used for installation in a part-CAO aircraft?

Thanks Gentlemen.

Strange METAR or TAF / METAR or TAF interpretation

Take a flight tomorrow (27th) after 0800Z.

This is interesting in two ways.

Firstly they have

BECMG 2607/2610 9999 NSW

and that extends all the way to the end of the TAF. Yet they have

TEMPO 2709/2712 7000 RA

but how can NSW be the case with RA, practically? Could there be RA with a cloudbase which was previously high enough to warrant NSW?

From here

If no significant weather is expected to occur during a specific time period in the forecast, the weather group is omitted for that time period. If, after a time period in which significant weather has been forecast, a change to a forecast of no significant weather occurs, the contraction NSW (No Significant Weather) will apear as the weatehr group in the new time period. However, NSW is only included in the BECMG or TEMPO groups.

I can't find a definition for NSW itself. It certainly isn't CAVOK but what are the requirements?

The other subtlety worth a mention is that the RA is forecast till 1200 but since the TAF itself is valid till 1200 also, the rain is in effect forecast to potentially exist past the end of the TAF.

Somebody has failed their Class 2 due to ECG showing ‘right bundle branch block’ and ‘left articular fasciular block’.

What is the route to getting a Class 2?

It won’t be cheap, but that is not the Q

EDTZ Konstanz runway condition

Eurogaprofile 20190630 nowegen helgoland %2811%29 Tb sunset

Would anyone have any recent experience of the runway condition of Konstanz, in particular with the operation of a retractable in mind? Historic reports seem to show a tendency to be quite uneven, though I’ve read they might have had a Perfo system added.

Surely an autopilot needs testing to demonstrate it works in all set ups.

There are several homebuilts and ULMs with perfectly good autopilots. Both 2 axis and 3 axis and coupled to both Dynon and …

Ah, yes, that list with the restricted validations I´ve found as well, but yes that requires EASA involvement and the hourly fees charged.

The things about the Rotax 912 engines is that 1/ new they are a lot cheaper than Lycosaurs. You can buy 2 and still have a lot of change from one 200hp Lycoming. AIUI that’s not even a new one.

Thank you guys – we’re actually headed between Lommis and Konstanz so either is workable. Thank you Frans for the Lommis bus information – I thought I’d be walking! Definitely a plug here for St Ga…

I will leave this thread promoted on the home page for a while because it is interesting to see what people fly behind.
