I just talked to the avionics shop in Huntsville, AL, and they want to

remove my EFIS to perform the IFR checks.  I would prefer that they

bring the test equipment to the plane to minimize damage to the panel.

Has anyone had good experiences with shops that performed tests at the

plane?  Any recommendations for a shop within a reasonable distance of

Birmingham, AL?



Thanks,

If you are referring to an IFR pitot/ static test, then the unit should 

not be removed from the panel.  The test is of the entire system, not 

just the EFIS, so must be made with the unit in the plane.



I'm not local so I can't recommend anyone, but there are plenty of shops 

that will do your check at the airplane, and the price should be in the 

$200-250 range.

Daniel, I'm forwarding your inquiry to the TVRVBG email list with a 

request that one of the members reply to you with contact info for Steve 

Gray at Moontown Airport (3M5) just east Huntsville. He can do the 

pitot-static inspection and you can taxi your plane to his hangar. The 

check needs to be with equipment in the plane so the entire pitot system 

is involved in the certification.



By the way, Moontown is an airport you *must* include on your favorite 

places list. Be sure to visit on the third Saturday for breakfast, its 

not unusual to have at least a dozen RVs fly in along with 30-40 other 

planes.
