Where in the TCDS does it state that the production basis for the 415 CD (or any 415 series Ercoupe) is CAR-4b?
Last time I checked it was: *Part 4a of the Civil Air Regulations* (CAR 3) CAR 4b (14 CFR Part 25) is for *transport category* aircraft. CAR 3 (or 14 CFR part 23) is airworthiness standards for small airplanes (or "Airworthiness Standards: Normal, Utility, Acrobatic, and Commuter Category Airplanes") Prof Ed or anyone, Would you please state exactly where the FAA Regulations "state this unit cannot be placed in a certified aircraft." please? Everyone, please check (& double check) your information before submitting them as "regulatory fact". Also, when reading the FARs one shouldn't read things into them - the FAA is very specific and proper when it comes to grammar and punctuation. Here's are a couple of links that will help everyone with their research www.faa.gov http://ecfr.gpoaccess.gov/cgi/t/text/text-idx?c=ecfr&tpl=/ecfrbrowse/Title14/14tab_02.tpl Thanks, Tom On Thu, Jan 14, 2010 at 6:14 AM, dagwood1162 <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Opinion and popluar consensus are not a replacement for regulatory fact. > > I invite everyone to read CAR-4b.
