 Posted: Tue Apr 18, 2006 8:47 pm Post subject: Data Plate |
 |
|
All,
I've got a data plate from ACS which has all sorts of "extra"
information on it, such as Date of Mfg. Engine, H.P. Empty and Gross Wt.
Name and address of builder. I can fill it all out, excepting, of course,
the date of manufacture, but EAA thinks I only need the builder's name, the
model designation, and the serial number. Any reason I should or shouldn't
fill it all out?
Thanks,
Guy Buchanan

We just went through this on our Lancair. Personnaly, I'd fill out as much
as you can, simply because the next owner(s) might need the info years down
the road. EAA is correct, but if I bought your airplane, it would help to
have it all documented on the plate, and in the aircraft records.
IMHO, not keeping good records screws the next guy. It's screwed me on my M2
more than once. There's a lot he didn't write down.
But, the minimums per EAA are ok. I believe the data plate is mostly there
for wreck identification, in case of total loss.

I've been marking data plates for years and have noticed two camps. One
group goes with the easiest flow, using the larger more readily available
data plate, while the other are minimalist going with the EAA data plate.
I've had a lot of questions about the legality of the smaller plates since
the larger ones are sold by everyone and the smaller ones are only through
the EAA to my knowledge. While at Sun N' Fun we asked the question to the
FAA and he* said the smaller EAA ones are all the information that was
needed.
* Remember that the FAA doesn't speak with one voice. Even when things are
written down they can and will be interpreted differently.
If there were a crash bad enough that the FAA needed that data plate to
identify your aircraft you won't have to be worry about it.

Hey Deke, that's the second (at least) reference that you've made to
the DEA...folks are gonna begin to wonder what goes on in the upper
half of the lower... : )

The DEA likes lots of information on them so after they shoot you out
of the
sky they can figure out who you are (were).

Thanks Bradley, Wayne,
Being an ex-law student, and suspicious by nature, (  ) I
sometimes think that I should withhold as much information as possible.
That would lead me to drop all the "unnecessary" information in case some
enterprising lawyer finds a way to use it against me. As the plane's
currently set up to use the larger plate, though, I think I'll give
humanity the benefit of the doubt and fill it out.
