A couple of related points on meeting IFR requirements.
If the , say, G5 is new, the rules give you 24 months from date of manufacture before the part 43 altimeter test is required. The static system can be done by any airframe mechanic if he has a little equipment. This might save someone a few bucks. r |

discrepancy
Hi,
I am late to this discussion but I had some offset between my AFS 5600 and G5. At my IFR check, the technician at Higginsville Avionics took them both and put them through the full calibration. Both passed but had 20-40 ft. difference. He told me that was within limits. He also explained that a guy with one altimeter always knows his altitude but a guy with two altimeters always wonders which is correct. That struck me as really funny but I got the point. My discrepancy was due to my OCD not the instruments being out of limits. John |
