GEOFF RO ISON
PRESIDENT VINTAGE AIRCRAFT ASSOCIATON
Getting ready
for
the flying season
I
t's March, and spring is now right
around the corner.
For
those of us
who live in the colder areas of the
country, it's about
time again
to
perform
that
all-important annual pre
flying season/preflight inspection of our
flying machines. I forever think of
that
unfortunate soul I once read about who
was on his initial
springtime
shake
down
flight with his vintage aircraft.
Just
as
he was rotating on his takeoff
run, a live squirrel jumped
in
his lap
from under the instrument panel
Thankfully, the story ends with
the
pilot
shooing the
squirrel off his lap,
after which
he
was able to successfully
maintain control
of
the aircraft and
return to
the
airport to dispose of the
unwelcome hitchhiking critter. I have
often wondered about such a predica
ment. Would I have been able to react
as
well
to an incident of
this nature?
Consider for a moment that nanosec
ond
of time when you have no idea at
all what that sensation is of something
crawling around on
your
lap as
you
have a hand full of airplane you're at
tempting to operate. I suspect I would
be so startled by such an event that I re-
more involved
than
kicking the tires
and checking the oil. We need to per
form the very best of initial preflights
each and every spring to be certain
that
the aircraft is as ready as we are to hit
the wild blue yonder.
f
you
read the EAA Hotline col
umn in
the January issue
of
EAA Sport
Aviation you learned a
lot about
the
many successes we as EAA
members
benefited from in 2007
thanks
to
the
strong efforts of our government rela
tions
department
at EAA.
Even with
these
many successes behind us, we
continue to wait out the
dilemma in
the
House
and
Senate
in determining
what impact,
if
any, user
fees
may have
on general aviation operations. They
have now been back from
the
holiday
recess for weeks, but they seem to still
be struggling to figure out how to ap
pease
the
airline lobby
and
still prop
erly fund our air traffic control system.
To
me, this issue
is
particularly perplex
ing
, and it's also yet another fine ex
ample of our legislators
attempting
to
fix something that's not yet broken.
f
they keep fiddling with this, it's likely
to me that they will yet again come up
of user
fees to fund the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA).
The
EAA government
services de
partment,
in
coordination with the
VAA, vintage type club representatives,
Warbirds of America,
and
a
number
of
other individuals representing the lead
ership of
EAA
met again this past Janu
ary
with
the
FAA to
discuss many
of
the relevant regulatory issues facing our
membership.
This annual summit
between
the
EAA and the FAA is a
one-of-a-kind
meeting outside the beltway, where the
FAA
offers a truly unique opportunity to
discuss many of the critical issues facing
an organization such
as
ours. I am very
pleased
to
report
to
our
membership
that
this was yet again a highly produc
tive session that will likely lead to
any
number of significant improvements to
the rules regulating
our
aircraft types.

sure to watch the VAA News section

veloping issues. If you're a regular user

Report on the 2 8 EAAlFAA Recreational Aviation Summit
EAA speaks on behalf
of
those who enjoy personal flight
Field
Approvals Top Discussion
Between VAA, FAA
Ongoing concerns regarding the process of obtaining
FAA
Form 337
and
STC field approvals, and ways to improve
that
process, were major points of
emphasis in discussions between senior FAA officials and Vintage Aircraft
Association
(VAA)
officials at
the
summit.
In addition to delays in Form 337 processing, part of
that
issue
is
the con
fusion on
the
part of some owner/operators regarding the actual process of
obtaining a 337 approval.
Kim Smith, director of FAA s Small Airplane Directorate,
and
Jackie Black,
manager of FAA s Repair Station Branch, both agreed their offices would work
in cooperation
with the
VAA
staff
to
prepare web-
and
print-based educa
tional media to educate members in
the
process within
the
first half of 2008.
VAA Executive Director H.G. Frautschy and VAA board member Steve
Krog
represented
the
organization during
the
session.
The summit was
both
interesting
and
informative, said Krog,
who
also
leads Piper Cub, Taylorcraft,
and
Luscombe type clubs. Being able
to
ask
candid questions of
the
top
FAA
officials
and
having
them
directly respond
with detailed explanations certainly allows a
layman
to
better understand
the
'whys
and
hows' of
FAA
actions.
Among
the
other
VAA
topics discussed:
•
FAA and EAA/VAA
agreed
to
look
at
various
options
to streamline
the
approval process of
the
engineering data needed for approval of Form 337.
•
VAA
expressed concerns regarding
FAA s
draft policy for
the
manage
ment of revoked, suspended, surrendered, type certificates

Alcor Inc.
Hopes
to Restart
Distribution of Tep Fuel
Treatment
in
April
Alcor Incorporated,
manufacturer
of TCP Fuel Treatment used to prevent
lead buildup on spark plugs and valves,
halted distribution of
the
product in
January because a
packaging
defect
could cause leakage during shipping.
Rick Sonnen, sales and product sup
port at Alcor Inc., said a couple of inci
dents occurred where TCP leaked due
to loose or broken caps.
TCP is a flammable substance, and
the rules and regulations of the Depart
ment of Transportation have made it
very difficult to distribute the prod
uct, he said. Until these packaging
issues get resolved, we have no plans
of manufacturing or distributing the
product. Alcor hopes to have the issue
resolved
no
later than April 2008.
Pilots
and
aircraft owners
who
wish
to
avoid the high lead content
of 100LL aviation fuel have alterna
tives, including:
• Use unleaded
automotive
fuel
by applying for the auto fuel supple
mental type
certificate
(STC) avail
able from EAA.
Many
lightplanes and
their engines are covered by
the
STC.
• Mix
auto
fuel
with
100LL. Us
ing
a
mixture
of the two will signifi
cantly reduce
the
lead contact , says
Earl Lawrence, EAA vice president of
industry
and regulatory
affairs. A
three-fourths autogas and one-fourth
100LL
mix
will result in a gasoline
containing the maximum lead con
tent that is allowed
in
80/87 aviation
gasoline, which the engines needing
the TCP additive were originally cer
tificated to use.

E Unveils
New
Interactive Calendar
When
asked
during
EAA AirVen
ture
Oshkosh 2007
how
EAA
could
support
its chapters
and members
better, one answer was resoundingly
clear: create a
means
for EAAers
to
find any aviation event anywhere.
To that end, EAA
has
created a
new, interactive Calendar of Events,
allowing users to
quickly find
avia
tion events in their
local area,
or any
where in
the coun
try,
and
according
and ultralights, then you would se
lect all three tags. Event tags are not
necessary,
but
they will help users
find specific events easily.
When the information is complete,
click "Preview Your Submission" and
your event notice will be displayed.
After verifying the information is cor
rect, click "Post My Event " and the
information will be loaded into the
calendar queue. If you need
to
make
changes,
click Make Changes
to
edit your submission.
Your event will not
show
up im
mediately. EAA staff reviews submis
sions twice each weekday to eliminate
bogus submissions.
Once an
event
is posted,
you
are not able
to make
changes. However, if your event does
change or
is canceled, please send a
message, including the hyperlink for
the event,
to
Chapters@EAA.org
and
we will update the information.

Clipper Book Notes
In last month's Book
and
Video
Reviews, I mentioned the
publica
tion
of
James Trautman's Pan Amer-
ican Clippers
I
really
enjoyed the
book, and like
many of
you, I wish
I'd been
able
to
see those great air
planes in
person.
In the last chap
ter
of the
book,
mention
is
made of
the San
Francisco Treasure Island
Museum,
housed
in
the
former Pan
American Administration/Passenger
Terminal (Building 1). The
island,
located east of Alcatraz Island in San
Francisco Bay,
was built up
using
landfill, with the intention of using
it as San Francisco's first airport af
ter
its
initial
use as
the
grounds
for
the
1939 Golden Gate International
Exposition. Instead, during World
War I I
it
was impressed
into
use as
a Navy base. After the war,
the
Navy
kept
the
island base, trading land lo
cated further south in the bay with
the city for what would
become
San
Francisco
International
Airport.
The text in the book might
lead
you to
believe
the
museum
within
Building I is still open,
which, sadly, is not the case. Af

Clark Y Blue
USA 35B: Red
Cub
irfoil
In last month 's Vintage Airplane , in the article
Timeless
and Triumphant
The Taylorcraft Twosome, we published:
The BC12-0 had a NACA 23012 semi-symmetrical airfoil , as opposed to
the flat-bottomed Clark Y
airfoil
used on many Pipers.
Our resident Piper
enthusiast
, Joe Norris, dropped us a note
to correct
that error:
Th is perpetuates the of t-
repeated
(and always incorrect) myth that the
Piper Cub series has a Clark Y
airfoil.
This is one
of
my
hot buttons,
because
I see
it
in print too often. The fact is, the Piper Cub series (from the E-2 all
the
way to the PA-18 and even the Apache, Pawnee and Aztec)
uses
a
USA
35B (modified) airfoil (very similar to, but not exactly the same as a Clark
V).
To my knowledge Piper never used a Clark Y on anything. Aeronca used the
Clark Y on many of their pre-war models, and of course Waco used the Clark
Yon
quite
a few
models (including
my
UPF
-7) ,
but not
Piper. The good old
USA -35B was Piper's bread and butter
.
To help show the difference, we '
re superimposed
the two airfoil profiles
(as shown when
their coordinates
are plotted) . The nose
of
the airfoils is
slightly different, and
the
35B has a
slight
undercamber. We 've been told
the
modified
35B
is just slightly thinner at its deepest point,
but
is otherwise
unchanged from
the
standard
35B.

On
Tail wheel
Bolts
The December 200? issue
of
Vintage Airplane contained a very
useful
article
entitled
Bolt Break
which
dealt with
the
failure
of
an
Aeronca
Sedan tail-wheel attach
ment
fastener. I found this espe
cially interesting since
a
similar
failure
occurred
on my Champ
about eight years ago.
The design
of the
tail-wheel as
sembly bracket where it attaches to
the tail-wheel
strut
(see exploded
view in article)
is
such that
a
pry
ing action exists which produces a
bending and tensile loading on
the
bolt. In
addition,
this load is of an
alternating nature
due
to
landings,
bumps
encountered during taxiing,
etc. Hence,
the
bolt
is
subjected
to
alternating
tensile
stresses, which,
if sufficiently large, can produce a
fatigue crack. Then,
after
enough
loading
cycles, a
crack
will
propa
gate across
the
bolt causing failure,
of the
correct
materials, as
the
ar
ticle
points
out. This includes the
washers,
which should
be at least
as
strong
as
the
bolt to avoid em
bedment
(localized yielding
under
bolt-head or nut
faces), which
can
result in reduction of initial
bolt
pre-load.
A
trick to
consider is
over
torquing the fastener by ap
proximately 10 percent,
partially
loosening the joint
and
re-torqu
ing
to
the
recommended value.
This
can produce
localized
yielding
of the metal in the joint compo
nents ,
which
will serve to mini
mize
further
deformation,
and
reduction
of
pre-load,
in
service.
Also, i f using an elastic stop nut,
add the
drag
torque of
the
nut
to
the
specified
torque
to get
the
cor
rect value.
I
hope that some of this
will be
useful.
Roger Johnson,

the bracket
should
the pre-load on

disagree with the concept, but in this

properly

t
would seem to be prudent
to regularly check the torque on that

surfaces, in addition to the check dur

Page 13 of
the
December issue has
the
article
Champ Door
Lock.
I
don't see
how this
works
as
shown in
photo 1. t
appears that the bracket
(detailed
in photo 5
would
pivot around the lock
and off of the handle. Maybe the bracket should
be
mounted

that the U-shaped section
would retain
the door handle, or
maybe
I
just
don't
understand the
situation.
Regardless,
thanks

Torrance,
California
Dear Jim and a few others
who sent
us
similar
questions),
Thanks for your note regarding the door lock article
in the December issue of Vintage Airplane. After I read
your note, I wondered what I was missing in the photos,
so I checked
with
Bill Pancake, the man who built the
lock.
As I suspected, the photo does
not
show all that we
want to know about the handle portion
of
the lock. On
the far right end of the lock, it s not clear that the very
end of it
is
actually a loop
that
slips over the tip of the
door handle. t looks as thought it s flU shaped and it
just slides over the handle,
but
that s not the case. The
far end of the handle portion of the lock loops around the
handle.
You
could fold one leg over the other
and
then
weld the
end
of the outside leg, or fold to a
butt
joint
that
would be joined with a welded seam down the mid-
dle of the back side
of
the square loop. Here s a drawing
I made to better illustrate the construction of it:
Type lub
Issues
In an effort to address the concerns of the type clubs in
a more efficient manner than the group meeting previously
held during EAA AirVenture Oshkosh allowed, we have cho
sen to change the way in which concerns from the type clubs
are brought forward to the agency.
The Small Airplane Directorate responds to the public 's
concerns throughout the year and in as timely a way as pos
sible, notes John Colomy, Manager of the Small Airplane
Directorate's Standards Office. Although some type clubs
contact the Directorate whenever they have issues,
in
the
past they may have waited to discuss their concerns at the
annual meeting of all type clubs held during previous years
at EAA AirVenture. In order to improve communications, the
EAA
and
the FAA have agreed to t ry a different approach.
We ask that
any
issues the type clubs may h a v ~ with the
FAA be sent to
VAA headquarters by
April
30.
During the
month
of

Oregon, in October of 1928.
February has been an eventful
month for the Pembertons
and
their
Boeing. Earlier, its first
engine start
was done. In an e-mail
to
friends
and
family
who have been kept
posted
on the
progress of
the

bought everything he had; there was
an incredible mess of parts there.
On
the first inspection, I counted seven
wings
and
two fuselages
and
so
much
other stuff I couldn't begin
to
catalog
it until I got it all home.
When I inventoried everything,
I was surprised
to
see so
many new
old
stock [NOS]
parts
. It, for
in
stance,
looked as i
someone
had
just
gone through
a
hardware
cata
log and
bought
a
number of
every
thing listed . I had several dozen of
every kind of screw, bolt, and washer
a Luscombe ever used. I
had
a cou
ple of new landing gear legs
and
two
brand
new
windshields.
There
was,
however,
only one engine,
so I fig
ure I had about
1.
7 Luscombes. Some
one
had intended on restoring the
airplanes, but they didn't get much
past ordering parts."
The Luscombe is certainly
one
of
the most popular garage-type restora
tion
projects
not only
because proj
ects are often priced right, but also
because
their
size makes
them
good
for one-man operations and small
work spaces.
"I have a great
workshop
and for
some reason seem to do my best work
when
I'm alone. The Luscombe was
perfect
for
that. Nothing on it
is
heavy,
and
if
I needed to move something like
a wing, Mary could easily
handle
th e
other
end. That said, I got great help
from a friend,
Ray Petre-hot
rod builder
and machinist-with some of the inte
rior and metal work,"
says
Duane.
The first order of business was to
sort through the
pile
of
Luscombe
debris and decide which fuselage to
ence, before
I
started on the one
I
was going to keep . I was
glad
I did
that, because it takes time to get in
the rhythm
of a project like
this
. My
project education included the study
of lots of parts and assembly manu
als plus
many phone conversations
with a very
helpful Brandon
at
the
Luscombe History Foundation.
By
the time I started
on
what was to be
my airplane, I had learned a lot.
I
coughed
almost
continuously and
was clearly
in
a tailspin
healthwise.
When
I asked
my doctor what I
could do,
he
said,
'That depends
on
how
long you
want
to
live.'"
"Incidentally,
when
I sold
the
first
airplane as a project that was off to a
good, clean start, the buyer commented
that I had under-represented it and he
was happy to have found it. We stayed
in touch and I was happy to learn that
vertical
fin
had been crunched.
I was concerned about corrosion,
so I took the bottom
wing
skins off
and
was pleased to see
the
wings were
fairly clean,
but
I put inspection pan
els in them anyway so I
could
keep
an
eye
on
things.
"Both of the wingtips, which
are
dead
soft aluminum,
had
seen better days,
but they were repairable. So, I made up
wooden bucks
and
slowly ironed
out
the dents.
My
goal was to use
no
body
filler on them, and I didn't. "
One
of the first
things
you notice
when
walking
up to
Duane's airplane
is
how
straight all the sheet metal
is,
and the first assumption is that the
skins
on the
control surfaces have been
replaced, because
the
corrugations are
all arrow-straight
and
perfect.
"I didn't replace any of the skins.
Instead, I spent a lot of time carefully
working out each little
dent and
kink.
I know I
spent
a lot of time doing
that, but
it was a satisfying thing
to
do. The same thing was
done on the
nosebowl
and
cowling.
The original cowl was all there
but
had
its share of
what
was mostly
handling damage from being moved
from place to place after it was stored.
The
aluminum
is
fairly soft and easy
to dent, but it's also fairly easy to ease
back
into its
original
shape as long
as you go slow and keep after it . Just
like
the
wingtips, I was determined
to
keep
the
original parts, so I just slowly
moved through each part, straighten
ing
as
I went.
"Actually,
before
I
did anything
on the fuselage, I Scotch-Brited and
cleaned up everything. Then I totally

As part of his project philos
ophy, Duane says it's important
to employ some discipline.
One of the
problems with
any
project, airplane or oth
erwise,
he
says, is
that
some
things are naturally
more
fun
to do than others.
I f
we yield to
that
temptation,
however, we
wind up hopping around the
project
and
not doing every
thing in the
proper sequence. It
is hard,
but
we should work on
what
we
'need'
to do
to
keep
the
project
moving,
not
what we 'want' to do.
One of
the
challenges of the fuse
lage was that
although
it included a
number of factory-new items, like
the
firewall dishpan and
new
gear legs,
they
didn't have
the
holes drilled for
mounting,
so he
had
to use some in
genuity
and
ask questions.
The dishpan was
not an
intui
tive assembly: I
didn't know
exactly
how it fit,
but
it
had to
fit perfectly or
other components wouldn't fit right
either. I called the Luscombe Founda
tion, and a nice
lady
on the phone
gave me a series of dimensions, and
I blindly followed them as exactly
as
I could . It was a real act of faith
that
I drilled, finished, and painted
the
pieces without ever fitting them on
the airplane, and I was almost afraid
to try putting them in place. When
I finally assembled everything, they
fit
together
very
nicely. That
was
just one of many places where
the
Luscombe Foundation helped me.
Duane
bought an engine, an
0-200, from a gentleman who said he
knew someone who could overhaul it
side of the motor I could see used
bolts
and
multiple washers. So,
what
did the inside look like?
Rather than
taking
the engine
home, I drove it right down to Monty
Barrett's
shop in Tulsa. They only
had to do
a
little scoping to
verify
that what
I felt was true . The engine
oil tank was full of crud , and many
of the parts were
out
of
tolerances.
There were even loose pieces floating
around
in the crankcase. It was junk.
Expensive junk. The FAA impounded
and
disassembled
the engine . They
said it wouldn't have made it
around
the
pattern,
and the builder is now
serving time in a federal penitentiary.
The engine was then totally rebuilt
by Barret Precision Engines.
The engine installation on Duane's
airplane is interesting not only be
cause it is so clean, but also because
there are some interesting features.
I love making patterns, so I made
all the baffles myself, tightening up
the tolerances so the airflow was bet
ter. Then I got a 337
to
install the
oil filter jacket and blast tube off a
Tomahawk. That takes cool air from
the front of the engine
and
flows it
tion . I wanted us
to
be able
to
sit in there for any number of
hours and be comfortable for all
of it. And that 's exactly the way
it worked
ou t
.
Parts were
prepped and
primed with DuPont Variprime
by Duane
in
his shop at home.
Then Ozark Body Works, which
J: is owned by a friend, Mark
'i Walansky, finished painting the
Cl. parts
in
a piecemeal fashion as
they became
available
. Duane de
signed the overall paint scheme
and
helped them lay it out
prior to
ap
plication
of
the PPG Deltron
2000
DBC
paint.
The project
was started
in
2000,
and
i t flew for
the
first time
in
Decem
ber of 2005. Normally, that would be
five years,
but
the airplane sat nearly
complete for an entire year before the
wings were finally attached.
When I got it ready to
fly,
I felt like
it was time to step back and catch up
on
life . I had neglected a few things
around
the
place, plus my daughter
was
planning
a wedding
on our
front
lawn. In fact, we had the reception in
my workshop, with the Luscombe fu-
selage as part of
the
decorations.
When
Duane did get
the
airplane
flying, he flew it and flew it and then
flew it some more. There hasn't been
a fly-in within reasonable flying
distance that
he hasn't
taken it to ,
and where the airplane was judged,
it always did well. His trophies and
plaques range from the Grand Cham
pion Neo Classic at the AAA Fly-In at

sent some colorful aviation history in their own right. In
Concord, New Hampshire, Caleb Marston began building
skis in
the
late 1920s. Success was immediate and pro
fuse. Possessing mastery over all things mechanical, Caleb
gained early recognition
as
New Hampshire's first licensed
aviation mechanic. On July 24, 1927, i t was Caleb who
was
on
hand to service
the
famous silver ship named The
Spirit St Louis when Lindbergh was in
the
early
portion
of his Goodwill Tour during a stop in Concord . Unable
to contain his energy and talent, Caleb also designed and
built three biplanes, of two-place design
at
least one of
which still survives.
The subject skis were manufactured in December 1931
skis were simply operated on the bare oak bottoms, with
battle scars and gouges as hard-won evidence of duty in
the field. The
high-density
plastic not only helps pre
serve the skis, but provides relief from freezing
to
the
ground with minimal sticking tendency, as well as de
creased resistance
on
takeoff.
The
tail ski was
obtained
from Hiram Wells of Alaska and
had
in years past been
on his Cabin Waco.
Ski flying offers
many
rewards
to
offset the small nu
ances one encounters. The smooth air rivals a summer
flight at dawn. The visibility
is
generally excellent, devoid
of the omnipresent thick summer haze. The performance
is remarkable in the cold dense air,
and
the Wright Whirl
wind pulls
the
Waco
into the
air with incredible ease.
Here's hoping
that the
shots you see
on
these pages will
embolden
the
members into enjoying
the
subtle pleasures
of flying their Wacos year-round

The year 2008 marks a significant period in the history
of the National Waco Club. We are celebrating our 50th
anniversary
as
a type club this year This historic milestone
has been reached through the dedication of Waco owners
and enthusiasts around the world who have felt a need to
promote Waco aircraft and keep them flying. The National
Waco Club has grown from a small group of owners who
decided to form a club at the 1958
AAA
Fly-In to support
their hobby to a worldwide organization
that
provides in
formation and help to anyone with
an
interest in Waco air
craft. The year 2009 will mark the 50th National Waco Club
Reunion Fly-In, and we expect well upwards of 50 Wacos to
attend this six-day event making this the greatest gathering
of Wacos ever The dates will be June 23-28, 2009.
With
more
than 400 currant members worldwide
the
National Waco Club has such resources as the largest
collection
of
Waco photographs available
in the
world
and a complete listing
of
every Waco ever made with
vertisements, brochures, vintage advertisements, mem
bers' projects, interior and panel shots, plus much more.
In conjunction with the NWC website
is
the NWC mem
bers-only forum. Any member can join the forum by
simply being a member of the club. This forum currently
has more
than
125 members
who
are restoring or flying
Wacos and
is
the best source of quick, knowledgeable
answers on any issue a Waco
owner
may have finding,
building, or restoring Waco parts.
The National Waco Club also plays host to a fly-in
reunion each year in the small community
of
Mt. Ver
non Ohio, at a wonderful grass strip perfect for antique
biplanes
called Wynkoop Airport (6G4), owned and
managed by Brian Wynkoop. This four-day event always
takes place the last full weekend
in
June with this year"s
event scheduled for
June
26-29, 2008. We invite all Waco
owners and
enthusiasts
to attend this great grass-roots
reunion where flying Wacos is expected, 'swapping old

The VAA annual fund raising
campaign fuels VAA action
H.G.
FR UTSCHY
Each
year at
EAA
AirVenture Oshkosh the
largest single space for the display
of
enthu
siasts aircraft is the Vintage Aircraft park
ing and camping area . For
more than three
decades
it
's been a picturesque scene of
the finest restored airplanes seen in this
country, and a gathering place for aviation
people and their
magnificent machines to
share knowledge
and
friendship.
Each
day duri
ng
the convention, we've all
been able to see the widest variety possible
of
airplanes, including a few one-of-a-kind
aircraft. Don't forget the special Type Club
parking area, where we
host
many exam
ples
of
a particular manufacturer's airplane .
From replica race planes to the American
Barnstormers Tour, the amazing colors and
outlines
of
the golden age
of
aviation are
on display
for
all to see each year. All
of
this
is possible through the
efforts of
the
nearly
500
VAA volunteers, the volunteer
VAA board
of
directors, and the
VAA
staff.
Their passion is what makes it a great
place to
be
throughout the week
of
AirVen
ture, and why so many visitors and aviation
enthusiasts
come back year
after
year to
work, relax , and enjoy
aviation s premier
event.
It
' s a place
to
rekindle old friend
ships and make new ones. A time to relax
and enjoy aviation, learn something new,
and rub elbows with our fellow aviators .
As
dows
that
need caulking, doors that need
to be replaced, and roofs
that
need
to
be
repaired. To
be
certain, almost all
of
the la-
bor involved is performed
by
our dedicated
and talented volunteers, but what about the
cost of supplies and hardware?
That's where our Friends
of
the
Red
Barn
campaign comes in i t provides all
of
us,
who wish, the opportunity to assist
in
the
vi-
tal financial support
of
the
VAA s
activities.
We're
most appreciative of the
contri
butions
made
by
hundreds
of
VAAers who
see the tangible benefits
of
supporting their
fellow
VAA
members in
this
manner.
As
a
critical part of the VAA budget
,
the fund
pays for such diverse items as
VAA
awards
presented
during
the
annual
EAA aircraft
awards program, special recognition for our
many volunteers, and expenses associated
with our special displays, forums, and edu
cational areas such as the VAA Workshop
tent and the Type Club tent.
Your annual
contr
i
bution
made in
the
first half of 2008
will directly
benefit this
year s
convention
activities
and VAA pro
grams throughout the year. New
this
year
for the top two gift levels is the opportunity
to sit in a special
VIP
area for the afternoon
air show, and for the Diamond Plus level ,
there s
adults-only access to the
EAA
VIP
hospitality area.
Many
services are provided to
vintage
aircraft enthusiasts at
EAA AirVenture
Oshkosh. From parking airplanes to feed
ing people at the Tall Pines
Cafe
and Red
Barn,
more than 400 volunteers
do it
all.
Some may ask, If
volunteers
are
provid
ing the services, where
is
the expense?"
Glad
you
asked.
The scooters
for the
flightline
crew
need
repair and
batteries,
and
the
Red
Bam needs paint,
new

dowsills, updated wiring,
and
other sun
dry repairs, plus
we love to
care for our
volunteers with special

caps
and a pizza
party. The
list
really
could
go on and on,
but
no

how many
expenses
we
can point
out, the
need

pay
for
the

expenses
at

8/20/2019 Vintage Airplane - Mar 2008
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/vintage-airplane-mar-2008 34/44
In last month's article on preflight
inspections, I
wrote
about a pilot I
knew who missed
the fact that the
fuel
cap
on his Cessna 195 was
not
securely fastened. It ended up with
the
beautiful airplane being destroyed
in
a forced landing,
and
the lucky pi
lot
and his passenger
escaping
with
nothing more than minor injuries.
In that article I also alluded
to
other
losses
one might
incur in such a situ
ation,
although
the
only
thing
to
get
damaged
might
be the ego.
In
the
book
F Rs
Explained
by Kent
Jackson, he relates a
situation
where
a pilot lost his private pilot privileges
for
15
days after being found in viola
tion of FAR 91.13, Careless or Reckless
Operation. In the case
of
the Admin
istrator v. Stimble EA-4177 (1994),
the pilot failed to
discover
an
improperly installed fuel cap dur-
ing preflight inspection. Now I am
sure there
wasn't an FAA
inspector
just hanging
out
on a
ramp watch-

Placard
Requirements; 91.205, Powered
Civil Aircraft .
. .
Instrument and
Equip-
ment Requirements; and 91.213,
Inop-
erative Instruments and Equipment.
Let's take a look at
all of
them;
here's
where
we will find
an
aircraft
that might be
totally
safe to fly and
yet still be
unairworthy
in the eyes
of the FAA. (Which could
lead to
a
disaster
of
another type, one usually
settled by lawyers.) It is here that we
can find what
instruments
and equip
ment we must have in an operable
condition, and
also
how
we
should
proceed i f we find anything amiss
during our
preflight inspection .
Starting with FAR 91.7,
we
find
that: (a) No person may operate a
civil aircraft unless it
is
in an airwor
thy condition. And (b) The pilot
in command of a civil aircraft is re
sponsible for determining whether
that aircraft is in condition for safe
flight
Well, how does one define
airworthy ?
Reading the airworthi
ness certificate (you did ensure it was
c
of an
aircraft. These are (1) that
the
aircraft conforms
to
a type design ap
proved
under
a type certificate or sup
plemental type
certificate STC) and
to
applicable airworthiness directives
AD);
and
2)
that the
aircraft
must
be
in condition
for safe operation.
What this
is
saying, in essence, is
that we not only
need to
determine
that
the airplane is safe to fly,
but
that the airplane complies with its
type
certificate
data
sheet (TCDS) as
well as any applicable STCs and/or
ADs
to
be considered airworthy. For
those of
us flying antique
or
Vintage
airplanes, it means
that we might
have
to
become sleuths of the
FAA
website to find the TCDS for our air
plane. It takes some patience and per
severance, but by searching through
the http://RGL.FAA.gov website,
one
can find a
TCDS
for the vast majority
of the airplanes we fly. The website
is
much
easier to use than the
older
printed versions, since you can search
by model
number rather than
having

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/vintage-airplane-mar-2008 35/44
One example
goes back to the fuel
cap issue. I heard of a fuel starvation
situation where fuel would not feed
due to a
venting
problem
with
caps
replaced
with an
improperly
vented
cap, which
had
been addressed in an
AD issued way back in 1952.
Sometimes ensuring that all the ADs
have been complied with can be almost
impossible for our older airplanes. As
an
example, a sharp-eyed
mechanic
discovered that an AD that had been
is-
sued for my Super Cruiser back in 1948
(one year after
my
PA-12
had
been
built) had never been complied with.
This was in 2004, 56 years after the AD
had been issued. Needless to
say,
my
Super Cruiser is now in compliance.
Continuing our look at the regula
tions, we move on to FAR 91.9, which
says that we must comply with the op
erating limitations specified in the ap
proved Airplane Flight Manual. . ..
Well , most of our older airplanes
(those certified to CAM 4 and earlier)
don't
have an AFM,
but
don't despair,
in part b) of 91.9 it says: No person
may operate a US registered civil air
craft . (2) For
which
an Airplane
Flight Manual
is
not
required by 21.5
of this chapter, unless there
is
avail
able in the aircraft a current approved
Flight Manual, approved manual ma
terial, markings and placards, or any
combination thereof.
FAR
21.5 allows aircraft manufac
tured before March, 1, 1979, to be
operated with a manual containing
operating limitations and information
required
to
be
furnished
in
an AFM
or manual material, markings, and
placards by the applicable regulations
ments and
equipment
that
must
be
installed
and
in operable condition
for visual flight rules flight, both day
and
night, as
well
as
for instrument
flight
rules flight,
depending upon
what
type of
flying
we will be
do
ing. Operable
condition
means that
the instruments and
equipment
are
operating
as intended
by
the manu
facturer. We must be sure that even
though we might comply with
the
list provided
in 91.205, there
isn't
additional required equipment that
might be found in an aircraft equip
ment list, a
flight manual, or
per
haps an AD.
I f we find inoperable
instruments
we
will
find
an
aircraft that might
be
totally safe
to
fly and yet still be
unairworthy
in
the eyes of
the
FAA
and/or
equipment
during
our
pre
flight inspection, then FAR 91.213
gives
guidance
on how to proceed.
It
states that if a master minimum
equipment
list
MMEL)
for
that
type
aircraft exists, upon which an MEL
has been developed for your partic
ular airplane,
then that
is the docu
ment that
governs whether or not
the aircraft may be flown. But since
C airspace).
However if we
do choose to
fly,
it
then goes on to say that the inopera
tive instruments and equipment must
either
be (a)
removed
from the air
craft,
the
cockpit
control
placarded,
and
the
maintenance
recorded
..
. or
(b) Deactivated
and
placarded inop
erative .... I f
you find yourself
with
inoperable instruments or equipment,
referring to Advisory Circular 91-67
Minimum Equipment Requirements
for
General
Aviation Operations
Under FAR
Part
91 will give guidance
on
how to
go
about
removing, deactivating,
and
placarding those items.
So
we can see, after reviewing all
the applicable regulations, that it
might
be possible to have
an
aircraft
that is
completely
safe and flyable;
however, that
same aircraft
might
also be unairworthy.
I f
we fail
to
de
tect
this
in
our
preflight inspection,
it
is
quite possible that we might end
up in
an enforcement action
by the
FAA,
and find
ourselves
with
a sus
pended
pilot certificate for a period
of time.
More
importantly,
as I stated in
last
month's
article,
i f
we are dis
tracted , in a hurry, or
complacent
in our
inspection,
the
possibility
of
missing
something that
would make
the airplane unsafe for flight becomes
more likely. The potential of finding
ourselves
in
a much more serious sit
uation than
that of an enforcement
action becomes much more
prob
able. Please be sure,
as
you preflight
your airplane,
that
you
are careful,
methodical, systematic, and meticu
lous. Thus you will be not only legal,
