Pietenpol-List: Certified Engines

Post by matronics »

Along the way I learned that if you rebuild an aircraft engine and haveit signed off by an IA, or hang and engine that came off of a productioncertified airplane, the moment youput it on a homebuilt it becomes experimental and voids the certification.Yup. Then to legally use that engine on a factory airplane at some pointin the future you need to have an IA go over it and sign it off as beingrecertitifed. The only break you get by using a certified engine/propcombination is that your test time is reduced from 40 hours to 25.Ain't that something ?!
