So I'm sure someone can give me the page # to go look!
I am pulling a certified 0-360 out of a RV6 and putting a certified 0-320 back in.
1st question is with a certified engine I do not think it has to be flown off?
2nd question is the registration change?
Current shows 0&VO-360 Lyc SER.
Thanks in advance

Have a look at your operating limitations, they should indicate what is needed after a major alteration. I believe you will need to re enter it back into phase 1 for a period of time like 5 hours or so. (Same if you were to switch from FP to CS). I would document everything in the logbooks. Whether or not it is certified doesn't really matter.

As to the registration, obviously you want that to reflect what is in the plane, for insurance, liability, resale, etc... But how to go about that is a good question for Oklahoma City. I bet you could even change it via their website.

Check your operating limitations, it should say in there. Something like, "after a major change in accordance with 21.93" then you might have to recertify with a 5 hr phase 1. If unsure, the geographically responsible FSDO has the say, so I'd call them.

I think you have to update the FAA registry as well.

" Have a look at your operating limitations, they should indicate what is needed after a major alteration "
Sometime in 1999 the EAB rule on major alteration changed to log book entry and back into into phase 1 for 5 hours.
For EAB aircraft cerified before that I think you may need to inform the feds and maybe get reinspected ?

As for the registration change. My Kitfox was inspected and issued an airworthy certificate in Oregon. I moved to Washington before I finished the 40 hour phase one test flying. I called the FSDO in Spokane to get a new flight test area designated. He had me send in the airworthiness certificate and operating Limitations and he issued a new Airwortiness certificate and operating limitations just to change the flight test area.

I would call Spokane FSDO and ask. Every FSDO has a different interpretation of the rules and every person working at a FSDO has a different interpretation of their FSDO's interpretation.

Exactly!!! Give 'em a call and get their take on it. I doubt it'll be any big deal.

Yeah, what they said! Check out your Operating Limitations for that plane.

Some wise guys around here doom and gloom, saying how it's the end of the world if you make an engine or prop change. They be making a fella's hair fall out. They are pretty experienced, so I'm guessing in some cases it can be a pain.

The Op Limitations for the black S7 I've got for sale say if I switch from reciprocating to turbine or change from fixed pitch from or to controllable prop, I have to do Form 8130-6.

In other words, I didn't have to worry when putting the new Rotax in it. If you have that in writing then you don't need the FSDO.

That's about all I know about that.
