Hello:
I just finished installing my skis on my plane. I made new SS cables (1/8"), made new bungie cords (1/2") that at I got from Stoddards. I installed new longer bolts in my landing gear due to the brackets needed. I followed AC 43.13-2B chapter 5 for installation guidance. I did use Federal 11A109 retaining washers to hold the skis on the axle. I weighed my skis and they weigh 14.5 pounds each, and my tires weigh 17 pounds.
My question is this...since these are federal A1500 skis and are on the TDC, can an A&P sign off the installation (I am not a certified mechanic, but have been working on my own planes for 16 years)? Also, it is my guess that the equipment list and weight an balance will also need to be updated. Is this all the paper work that will be involved for my to legally fly?
Thanks, Bob
