Anyone out there in EASA-land with recent experience of fitting a JPI EDM ?
Looking to purchase an engine monitor and like the look of the
new JPI 730/830.
Although I can get one of the older
700/800 models pretty cheap.
As usually happens with US manufacturers ....
....the
JPI STC SA2586NM misses out all the French built Reims-Cessnas. So, it may be TSO'd but it aint STC'd.
I've asked the manufacturer if they would consider getting the French Cessnas added onto the FAA STC, then they can apply to EASA under the bilateral agreement. (This is exactly how we got a pair of floats approved by EASA). But they don't seem interested and suggest a 'field approval'.
I suspect I will need an approval specific to my airframe, and I have heard it can be a bit of a lottery how EASA react ...
So, the question is ...... how easy (and costly) is it to get either of them fitted and approved in EASA-land? Is it worth the hassle? Anyone recommend an engineer who has recently got one fitted and approved, or who at EASA does sensible approvals?
All assistance greatly appreciated.
