And what do you do in case of a ramp inspection? Or do you have a mod approval for this?
In our 206 there are three screws, on the left hand side, in the centre windshield pillar that hold the plastic trim piece in place.
Now our mechanic, being a very handy sort of a fella, and who has decades of experience dealing with the FAA and runs his own repair shop, fabricated a mount that uses one of the existing screws and holes to hold it all in place. The unit itself sits on the top of the instrument panel. Therefore it is firmly attached and can't fall off and go through the chin bubble. As I said before be careful using RAM mounts they can fall off and be a hazard in flight.
Our POI has seen it, the POI of the maintenance shop has seen it and, apparently, as nothing was said, nobody has an issue with it.
