VFR CERTIFCATIONS
A VFR certification basically consists of certifying the aircraft transponder (mode A/C or mode S). A VFR certification is required every two years. The VFR certification should take around an hour and we can complete it while you wait when scheduled in advance.
The IFR certification consist of testing the aircraft static system, transponder, and certifying the altimeter and encoder. The IFR certification is required every two years. Since the altimeter and encoder must be removed from the aircraft to be recertified, the IFR certification normally requires about three to four hours to complete. For your convenience, it’s best if you schedule your IFR certifications as far in advance as possible.
The RVSM certification consist of testing the aircraft static system, transponder, and certifying the altimeter and encoder. The RVSM certification is required every one to two years depending on the unique manual for each aircraft. The RVSM certification normally requires about five to six hours to complete. For your convenience, it’s best if you schedule your RVSM certifications as far in advance as possible.
Emergency Locator Transmitters (ELT) must be inspected once every 12 calendar months for:
- Proper installation;
- Battery corrosion;
- Operation of the controls and crash sensor; and
- The presence of a sufficient signal radiated from its antenna.
The batteries must be replaced or recharged:
- When the transmitter has been in use for more than 1 cumulative hour; or
- When 50 percent of their useful life (or for rechargeable batteries, 50 percent of their useful life or charge) has expired, as established by the transmitter manufacturer under its approval.
A 1994 regulation change, 91.207(d), requires a separate sign-off or annual inspection for the ELT. The mechanic actually makes a separate log entry about the ELT. This usually will occur at the same time of the aircraft’s annual inspection, but it doesn’t have to. The unwary pilot in command could miss the timing on this inspection and find himself in the same trouble as if he had flown with an airworthiness directive compliance time missed. As we know, the mechanic’s signature at an annual is a statement of condition at that time and does not guarantee that everything will remain airworthy until the next annual.
