HELP certification of light a/c engine change

[Lady Heath]

Hi all,
I am searching for information on the processes involved in re-certification of a light a/c with an aero-diesel engine installed in place of a piston engine, as part of my final year project.
This would be carried out for MAF (Mission Aviation Fellowship) a/c operating in E-Africa.

For example:

1 There are a few instrument and control changes to be made in the cockpit

2 The MTOW may change

Any advice or contact info would be very much appreciated - I am unsure if it is the CAA (JAA) only who have control over a/c in that part of the world?

Thank-You

Lady Heath

M'Lady,

Take a look at my reply in the private flying forum.

You might also like to note that Chief Pilot gets a bit upset if you make identical posts to several forums (fora?).
