Hi Fred,
The Aircraft Spruce catalog has a wealth of information in it,
including what arrangements are required for certified aircraft.
As to TSO, it remains my belief that if equipment that was not original
to an airframe when manufactured is available at a cheaper price (and
is more likely to be installed) that clearly enhances the safe
operation of said aircraft that TSO is NOT required by applicable
regulations nor should it be required by the FAA to such extent as its
mandate is increasing SAFE utilization of the nation's airspace.
The "bottom line" is likely you ability to find a A&P/IA who agrees
with this philosophy and recognizes he represents YOUR best interests
(as opposed to sucking up to those local FSDO people who refuse to
approve anything these days.
The "easy" way is to get a kit from Skyport or Univair...their
paperwork should get through even today ;<)
Regards,
WRB

I am re-covering the wings on my 415-C. Now that I have the fabric
off, it occurs to me that this might be a good time to install
combination navigation/strobe lights on the wing tips to replace the
nav-only lights that are there now. Has anyone had experience doing
so? Where would I go to buy them? Must they be TSO'd?
Any thoughts will be appreciated.
Thanks.
