Thanks for this reference, Bill. I hadn't seen this one before.
Now that we know you know about the guidance provided in this document we'll be taking a closer look at your -7 to see that you followed it!

Check out slide 12:

These photos illustrate an improper maintenance action caused when
the airplane?s airworthiness certificate was relocated. The attach screw
penetrated the power cables. The FAA maintenance inspector riding on
the jump seat caught his clothing on fire.


A relocation of an airworthiness certificate set an inspectors pants on fire?
That's funny..I don't care who ya' are!

Default Electrical build photos

You can refer to this thread on my electrical build. It has a number of photos. If you want high resolution photos let me know.

As for good or bad, you can decide. So far, I haven't caught anyone's pants on fire.

You can look on-line for the standard itself...it's NASA-STD-8739.4, Crimping, Interconnecting Cables, Harnesses, and Wiring
