So, I'm wondering, if you didn't change engine make and model, and according to the FSDO person didn't make a major change, why does he say it has to go back through a test period? Seems to me a simple log entry as to the engine change would suffice and go fly. I suspect that there are no two people in the FSDO/s or DAR's that will interpret the reg's the same. Too much gobbledy gook and wiggle room in that ton of paper they call the FAR's. The only time it will matter anyway is if you have an accident and then they already have you by the "gonads" anyway. :-) Larry Flesner
