Michael After many years of looking I have now encountered two Pawnees that seem to be the same - but I wouldn't trust them to have identical electrical systems. The Pawnee does not require a Flight Manual, presumably because, amongst other things, Paper never had to produce a Pilot

[Aus-soaring] PA25-235 Flight Manuals

Hi Mike I have heard many people say that Piper did not produce any Flight Manuals, so we do not need to have them aboard. However, I have a copy of an FAA approved Airplane Flight Manual, dated Oct 12 1962, with revisions up to Oct 1970, produced by Piper for the PA-25-235 model. It carries the

Isn't it a legal requirement that a pilot's operating handbook (or equivalent) be either in the aircraft, or located at the airfield if the plane is less than 1 hour's flight time? Refer most recent Civil Aviation Safety Regulations 1998 See:

It seems that there is quite a lot of evidence to support the existence of Flight Manuals - perhaps for all PA25 models. If this is proven then we should be sure all Pawnee equipped clubs have them on site for their models. Some might find themselves breached for non-compliance. Between our clubs

Michaels and Derek The FARs do not apply in Australia (except to US registered aircraft). Read the list of aeroplanes on the CASA web site for which an [Australian] Flight Manual - i.e. the POH produced by the manufacturer - is not required. The PA25 was on that list last time I looked.

If we are not required to have FMs for PA25s - over the years we got used to not seeking them - and perhaps that explains why the view that Piper had not produced FMs became prevalent? Cheers Michael -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mike
