Really good to see the new FAA NORSEE “Non-Required Safety Enhancing Equipment” standard at work !
At last a power source for my EFB.
I want to get the TA102 dual usb charging port installed. It has a EASA ETSO C71 certification. I guess I need the Minor Change documentation for it as well? This does not seem to exist, at least online, is the CS-STAN an option for this? Thanks. (Aircraft is a C206)
Currently you need a minor change for USB chargers. EASA is currently working on an update of CS-STAN in which USB chargers are included. So wait for a bit longer before installing any USB charger if you want to save some money.
Sorry, that may be the 12v one. This is 24v
On an N-reg this is a Minor Alteration so just a logbook entry in this case. Details here
I have merged several similar threads concerning panel mounted USB charger ports.
One needs to be careful with cigar lighter consumer items because some generate loads of interference. It may not be obvious immediately; usually (IME) only specific frequencies get wiped out. They get wiped out quite impressively, too. And it likely won’t be a ground frequency in close proximity because there you get a strong signal.

Thanks, guess you don’t have an idea when the new CS-STAN might come into effect?
I don’t like the cigarette lighter adapters in my car, so I probably won’t put one in the airplane.

The decission making should be at 1Q/2017 and the NPA should have been 3Q/2016. NPA was published 4Q/2016, so I would guess somewhere between now and June 2017.
