Here's a question asked by an AOPA member who contacted our aviation
services staff through the AOPA Pilot Information Center. Test your
knowledge.
Question: I have an IFR-certified GPS in my aircraft. Is it required that I
make an entry into my aircraft's maintenance logbook every time I update the
database?
Answer: Yes. The FAA, under 14 CFR Part 43, Appendix A, defines what is
considered to be a major alteration, major repair, and preventive
maintenance. Updating a GPS database qualifies as preventive maintenance
that a person holding at least a private pilot certificate may perform in
this section. The FAA, under 14 CFR 91.407(a)(2), states that a maintenance
record entry must be made for any aircraft that is approved for return to
service after undergoing preventive maintenance. The entry should include,
as stated in 14 CFR 43.9(a), the date of completion of the work performed,
description of the work completed, your signature, pilot certificate grade,
and certificate number. For additional information on maintenance logbook
entries, see AOPA Online.

Hello Frank, You raise a good point.
You wrote <<......skip.....In any case, I thought the 2 year VFR cert was a
transponder only
test...And IFR was the encoder/pitot/static test??....skip......>>
I think that whether or not the VFR cert gets involved with the altitude
encoder or not depends upon the interpretation of FAR Sec. 91.413 (b) which
reads: "Following any installation or maintenance on an ATC transponder
where data correspondence error could be introduced, the integrated system
has been tested, inspected, and found to comply with paragraph (c), appendix
E, of part 43 of this chapter."
And the title of paragraph (c), appendix E, of part 43 reads: "(c) Automatic
Pressure Altitude Reporting Equipment and ATC Transponder System Integration
Test."
I have never had just a VFR certification alone performed on an airplane by
a shop so I don't know how they interpret 91.413 (b). Can anyone enlighten
me? Thanks.

<<Hi OC, As far as removal goes it's a piece of cake...simply a screw on the

show altitude.
If I was faced with having to remove the EFIS I would probably make up a
D sub with the apprpriate wires to save the shop any (expensive)
confusion...:)
In any case, I thought the 2 year VFR cert was a transponder only
test...And IFR was the encoder/pitot/static test?? Frank>>

Hello OC,
I'm not eligible to answer that in full, in Europe we have an AD which
you have to comply with.
It is aimed at the gray code encoders as you have there many wires you
have to test the transponder for correct output any second year. serial
encoder/transponder combination are not impacted as there you see
immediately ok/nok, where the gray code would send wrong altitudes.

I have a quick question on the certification of the transponder/ encoder.
Does this have to be done before you can get a DAR or FAA sign off on your
experimental? Does the original certification of the new equipment count initially?
If not how does one get the plane to an airport that have an avionics shop
without first flying?
Thanks
