I assume you mean "VFR Static/Transponder" systems check. Needs to be done when a transponder is installed and every 24 mnths there after. If your plane is based under Class B airspace you will need an IFR check vs VFR... about 3 times as expensive. Just had mine done.

[email protected] for things we'd talk about at flyins. For altimeter checking, I never did anything more than dial in the altimeter setting and compare it to field altitude. A couple of times I flew by tall antennas as a cross check. If there's more required, I really don't know what. As for transponders, I never had one in my Coupe. I don't know if it can be tested in the plane or not. I'd call an avionics shop and ask. Let's see what answers you get from the list. I'll forward this to the list.

Hi Ed: I would have put this out to the entire group, but I don't have the e-mail address. Got my self an ercoup a couple of months ago. I'm fast learing that ownership is not like renting. Things like trasnpoder testing and alitmeter testing are new to me. Could you tell me something about those two questions - where does one get them done, how much time and money involved Thank you Frank Durgin ========================================================================== == == To leave this forum go to: http://ercoupers.com/lists.htm Search the archives on http://escribe.com/aviation/coupers-tech/ ========================================================================== ==== To leave this forum go to: http://ercoupers.com/lists.htm Search the archives on http://escribe.com/aviation/coupers-tech/
