[CID]

Are you licensed? And what kind of "fraction" are we talking about? One half? Three Quarters? One sixteenth?

[azimuthaviation]

Good questions. Of course any work will be inspected and signed off by the appropriate authority, thats not an issue. As far as the rates, it varies depending on the work and the customer. Are you interested in anything specific?

[Cat Driver]

This otta be good.

I'll ask again. It's a very simple yes or no question. Are you licensed?

[BoostedNihilist]

anyone getting a tingly feeling in their anus?

[Cat Driver]

This otta be good.

Are you just an overly curious fellow, or do you have some avionics work you need done? Depending on your answer we'll discuss it further.

My question was pretty basic. I certainly don't think it means I'm "overly curious". It's a question that ANYBODY who is considering hiring you should be asking. Do you charge "a fraction of the cost" because you're a fraction of an AME?

Here's another relevant question. Do you have an SCA for avionics components? An AMO? CAMC membership? ASET membership?What qualifies you to touch my airplane or avionics components? What qualifies you to call yourself an "Avionics Technician"?

These are very basic simple questions that are similar to what I would ask auto mechanics, or a plumber or a medical doctor for that matter.

It appears that some think I'm just being a smart ass here. That's not the case. Just asking simple questions.

[azimuthaviation]

Well since I doubt you have an airplane in need of an avionics upgrade, I would tend to agree with those people.

I see. I doubt something too. Can you guess?

If you are ever in the southern ontario area I could use some freelance avionics work.

[twotter]

Nice to see CID making new friends!!!

It just makes me feel warm and fuzzy when I see his wonderful personality at work!!

Hey Azimuth, he not only doesn't have an airplane, he's just trying to bait you so he can belittle you to make himself feel better about his own pathetic life. Short guys like him have that problem sometimes.

There is also the problem that even though he likes to think of himself as "THE EXPERT" with regards to aviation, he may not even hold a licence himself!!

I hope you find some customers, don't let this troll bring you down to his level..

Cheers

[Widow]

I don't always like CID either, but - surely some of his questions are valid?

We all know there are people who are not qualified out there ... surely no one is condoning getting work done by someone who isn't qualified?

[CID]

I hope you find some customers, don't let this troll bring you down to his level..

twotter, I would be upset if I cared about your opinion. But alas you're just a piece of dog shit on the bottom of my shoe. Excuse me while I find a scraper.

Cheers.

widow, yes. I asked some very basic questions that any potential customer of "Azimuth Aviation Systems" should ask. Funny how some people don't have the same concerns. Probably people who don't get too worked up about complying with regulations or operating safely.

Boosted, maybe you can find a "freelance" proctologist to check it out.

widow, pay no attention to CID because the above shows just how wrong his assumptions are.

Both Twotter and I are perfect examples of just how wrong he is.

We have a safety and compliance record second to none in aviation.

CID is just plain wrong in many of his assumptions....remember this is the person who thinks that the pilot flying the Beaver you are involved with crashed because he was flying in IMC conditions.

That's not quite correct Cat Driver but your statements represent a typical Cat Driver response which introduces a slightly incorrect and unrelated statement in an attempt to derail the conversation.

Nice try.

[Widow]

Cat, CID may think AQW was an IMC accident, and he's entitled to think what he wants. He isn't the only one, and until/unless ALL the facts are made public, some people will continue to believe that is what happened.

That "disagreement" has no bearing on this issue. Accidents have happened because of unqualified/substandard work. Certain operators cut corners this way - as we all know. People who perform (or allow to be performed) unqualified/substandard work are hardly going to advertise the fact. Maintenance regs and standards are there to help prevent this from happening. We (you) need to protect ourselves - by asking questions.

In Canada, all commercial aircraft as defined in CAR 571.05, must be maintained in an Approved Maintenance Organization (AMO) appropriately rated for the scope of work to be undertaken. As well, all specialized work, regardless whether it involves commercial or private aircraft, must also be performed in an AMO rated for that particular specialty. In both instances, as referenced in CAR 571.04, the work must be released for return to service by an Aircraft Maintenance Engineer (AME) who holds Aircraft Certification Authority (ACA) for the product or aircraft to be released...

Cat, please tell me you don't support using unqualified maintenance.

[iflyforpie]

The following tasks constitute the specialized maintenance referred to in section 571.04 of these Regulations.




Avionics

4. (1) The repair of avionics components and sytems is avionics specialized maintenance, except for:
(amended 2003/06/01; previous version)

(a) repairs of wiring and connectors;
(amended 2003/06/01; previous version)

(b) replacement of connectors and electrical components with identical or equivalent items;
(amended 2003/06/01; previous version)

(c) replacement of antennas with identical or equivalent items;
(amended 2003/06/01; previous version)

(d) replacement of integral fuses and lighting components when the line replaceable unit (LRU) is designed for flight-line replacement of these components;
(amended 2003/06/01; previous version)

(e) replacement of an avionics LRU provided that any testing required can be done using standard test equipment, built-in test equipment (BITE) or equipment specified in the aircraft manufacturer’s instructions for continuing airworthiness;
(amended 2003/06/01; previous version)

(f) on-site management of passenger entertainment systems performed in accordance with the applicable instructions in the maintenance manual of the aircraft or systems manufacturer or the manufacturer’s instructions for continuing airworthiness; and
(amended 2003/06/01; previous version)

(g) routine maintenance that is described in the aircraft manufacturer’s maintenance manual or instructions for continuing airworthiness or performed in accordance with currently recognized industry practices for service in the field.
(amended 2003/06/01; previous version)

(2) Any avionics system installation or modification is avionics specialized maintenance except for:
(amended 2003/06/01; previous version)

(a) installation of ELT systems conforming to TSO C91/C91a;
(amended 2003/06/01; previous version)

(b) installation of single VHF communication or single integrated navigation/communication systems that are not interfaced with any other system, other than an intercom system;
(amended 2003/06/01; previous version)

(c) installation of VFR long-range navigation systems which are not interfaced with any other systems;
(amended 2003/06/01; previous version)

(d) modifications to existing avionics installations, where no additional test requirements are imposed on the affected system other than those which would be required following routine maintenance of that system;
(amended 2003/06/01; previous version)

(e) installation of instruments which are not interfaced with any other systems; and
(amended 2003/06/01; previous version)

(f) replacement of an avionics LRU where equivalency is maintained, and where no additional test requirements are imposed on the affected system other than those which would be required following routine maintenance of that system.
(amended 2003/06/01; previous version)

Instrument

5. Maintenance of instruments, other than display devices whose operation is integrated with an appliance to which another category of specialized maintenance applies, if the work is beyond the limits recommended in the manufacturer’s maintenance manual or service instructions for service in the field, is instrument specialized maintenance.
(amended 2003/06/01; previous version)

All that being said you can work on private aircraft if it is not specialized maintenance without an AMO provided you have the proper license.

widow, by that description my guess is he / she is licensed and is very well aware of what work he / she can legally do on what airplanes.

[azimuthaviation]

Yeah CID what exactly do you doubt? That youll ever touch a woman? Well I can tell you I fully agree with you there. Anyways you would probably know what to do with her as you would an an aircraft, am I right? And if you dare question the quality of my work or the legality you had better come out and say it and if you cant back it up I would prefer you shut your mouth. Don't worry Transport doesn't need your help. If you refer to my second post I think I told you any work will be signed off by someone with the proper authority.

BTW when someone gets work done at an avionics shop, dont expect an AME to be doing it. Chances are an apprentice just out of school will be working on your aircraft and signed out by an AME. Now I dont think theres anything unsafe or unproffesional about that. Not too many people are going to school for two years and four years of apprenticeship in order to spend the rest of their career working at a shop for whatever wage they get in order to meet the requirements of people like CID.

[BoostedNihilist]

Boosted, maybe you can find a "freelance" proctologist to check it out.

No problem CID, just name the time and the place... should I bring my own lube or do you supply it?

[twotter]

CID

twotter, I would be upset if I cared about your opinion. But alas you're just a piece of dog shit on the bottom of my shoe. Excuse me while I find a scraper.

Cheers.

And you wonder why people don't like you. You are the first to complain about anyone saying anything bad about you but this is how you choose to reply..

It's probably a good thing that you don't like females because then we don't have to feel sorry for your wife!!

Regarding safety and compliance well:

Both Twotter and I are perfect examples of just how wrong he is.

While this is true Cat, I find it amazing that a person who does not even fly an airplane will continue to try and belittle us and attempt to show that we are not in compliance with the appropriate regulations. Between us we have almost 90 years in this business but I guess to him the fact that neither of us have ever been found in contravention of the regs means nothing. I guess we are just sneaky guys!! I can't understand why all these people want us to do work for them when we are such bad guys..

Or maybe CID is just wrong..
