I just had my second EAA tech inspection and the only issue is my wiring. Though I haven't done much in the cockpit yet, I'd like to use appropriately sized, multiconductor, color-coded cables to keep things organized. It's so nice to be able to run small, color-coded 5-conductor cable for the Mac trim servos for example. He says he knows of one case where a builder had to completely rewire his cockpit with Tefzel before he passed. I understand that in the event of an electrical fire, Tefzel does not produce toxic fumes. But what are the rules?
Must everything in the cockpit be Tefzel? If so, what about nonTefzel cables that come with parts (e.g. strobe cables)? Should I use Tefzel only in high current applications (e.g. hydraulic pump)? Any words of wisdom?
Thanks, Clark Still (NY, 60% LIVPT)
