Coupers: When I purchased my Alon last year, it came equipped with AeroFlash wingtip strobes. The installation looked well done, but it had never been entered in the logs or weight and balance. When my IA and I researched the subject, the strobes were not shown as an option for the aircraft and the particular ones used were not STC'ed for 'coupes. This called for a field inspection. I prepared a 337 and the IA submitted it to the FSDO for an inspection. An inspection was scheduled, but the inspector merely called my IA, they discussed it on the phone, and the inspector said he would sign the 337 without actually seeing the plane.
Moral? Work with an IA who has a good relationship with the
FAA.
