Jim;

There is no way to tell what you have that I know of without going back and comparing it to old versions of FAA Order 8130.2. I became an AB DAR almost 2 years ago. We are presently on 8130.2F Change 1. There have been 3 changes in the last 3 years.

FAA Orders can be found at: http://www.airweb.faa.gov/Regulatory...e?OpenFrameSet

Here is a link to what the EAA says about changing your OpLims. You need to be an EAA member to access this link.

If you follow the link to the current Order above, it has the verbage that the new OpLims will have.

Thanks Gary, I will pull the op lims that I have in the plane and compare to what is on the EAA site and FAA site.

Gary,

I checked the EAA site and it appears that the new regs at least, regarding changing the op lims, went in to effect around November of 2004. That was what I was interested in. I need to get the new op lims for my plane if I want to make any significant changes to the plane, followed by a short test phase, then operate without re-inspection.

Thanks,

Jim

First, I really appreciate this thread as it has clarified many issues that had not been clear to me in the areas of maintenance, repairs, and the annual condition inspection.

I believe at some point in the thread, someone expressed the opinion that logging more details & info is better than logging less. Along this line, I want to keep detailed records and find the small commercial log books for engine and airframe very restrictive. I'd like to have larger pages for more detail possibly up to 8.5x11. Most people don't seem to carry the maintenance log books in the plane anyways, unless needed.

So, the question is, are there any legality issues or requirements for the logbooks, size, format, binding, etc? I realize that regardless of format, a real signature is required.

Thanks,
bb
