OK, if you were to, ...say, put a compatible certified-equipment glass panel (for other aircraft) into an Ercoupe, is there a problem getting license if nobody signs off on it? (assuming proper installation, etc.) Is it a 337 that's needed, and what are the perameters that might cause a 337 not to be needed? This is all hypothetical - just trying to understand. We're talking all VFR here.
Now, then the same type of glass panel, but not certified --for use in experimental aircraft. Again, nobody signs off on it. Is a 337 going to let you get licensed the next time (annual)? Is the inspector that signs off an annual hanging himself out here, so he won't sign off for the new license? I guess I'm easily confused, but this talk of Ercoupe not having certain equipment specified, so it is possible to install non- specified equipment with no approval - makes me question my assumptions. I am assuming the above problem would first show up when the next annual inspection comes due - is that correct? And what is this rumor that FAA is not allowing new 337's for field approvals any more? I guess its a rumor... -Ron
