Reverting 'G' back to 'N'
Sorry to raise a hoary old chestnut, but searching this subject doesn't yield much partly because the search doesn't work on single letters!!!
I'd be interested to hear any recent experiences of converting originally 'N', currently 'G' aircraft back to 'N'. In my case PA-28-161 which was 'N' until imported to UK in 1993, converted to 'G' at the time. The reasons for investigating change include FAA IR and the morass of CAMO etc., but I do not harbour any realistic prospect of saving money on maintenance overall (although that would be nice!). The aircraft will remain in UK and be flown throughout Europe on FAA stand alone licenses. It does have a cert of free circulation.
There has been radio replacement under 'G' (430) and experience of this area would be interesting if there are particular problems. Otherwise it's pretty much 'as was' with US origin engine and prop. It does have the CAA starter warning light mod.
Thanks in anticipation - any advice appreciated.
