Subject: Re: [LML] Re: Navigating in the IFR system in an experimental aircraft

The FSDO doc rule is a part of AC20-138A   it's all aircraft that fly in th=
e IFR system.  I've done many of the paperwork FSDO hoop jumping for both e=
xperimental airplanes and certified birds, and just did one as recently as =
last week for a C182, so at least it was required a week ago.   There is no=
thing magical about getting the paperwork from the FSDO, and it's not neces=
sary for an avionics shop to do it so don't let some shop tell you that the=
y have to do it, and proceed to charge you a small fortune for it.  The imp=
ortant thing is to just follow the AC, and you should get the paperwork bac=
k from the FSDO in a couple of weeks.  Remember too that if you have an IFR=
 GPS installed and don't have the paperwork back from the FSDO, you must ha=
ve a placard stating that it is for VFR use only.=20=20

 Sorry, Mr grayhawk dude, OTP is indeed VFR on top.=20=20
