I would like to hear your take on the new CS mandatory bulletin about nose wheel cracking.  It seems that if no cracks are found you must inspect the nose wheel leg every 4 take offs and landings and replace the nose leg $2000 part and ???Labor. at the next annual if no cracks are found.  By the way Cruiser Aircraft will not help pay for this factory defect .

Yes Ronin5573 and keep in mind you dont need an LOA if the new part you want to install is already in newer planes and included in the IPC and maintenance manual. This means these new parts have already been approved by the manufacturer, no LOA needed. Just simply follow the maintenance procedures to remove and replace and be sure it's done by the proper "authorized to perform" person per the manual. I'm going to upgrade my radio to the new Garmin GTR-225 and no LOA is needed.

 

My biggest wants for LOA is the newer Aera 660 GPS, Garmin GTX-345 for ADS-B in/out because it's an all-in-one unit and not a piece meal install with multiple components and the Dynon AOA to make the plane safer. All these make the plane safer and lessen the pilot workload in my opinion.

 

CAW, now CSA have been around for 10 years now and I'm very curious as to the number of LOA's that they've issued.

Are you sure about this "if its in a newer plane no LOA needed?"
