FAASafety.Gov has now expanded its services to aircraft owners by providing "Unapproved Parts Notices." You might wish to give this option serious consideration. First, Last, Always... Fly the Plane... Bill Humbert, ASC bh3@comcast.net New offering from FAASafety.gov FAASafety.gov now offers you the ability to receive Unapproved Parts Notices (UPNs) from the FAA's Suspected Unapproved Parts Program Office AVS-20.UPNs are advisory alerts regarding unapproved parts that may pose a safety threat to the aviation community.

This UPN involves West Coast Cylinder Works of Santa Fe Springs, CA. They improperly maintained R-1820 engine cylinders. The affected cylinders were either sold as spare parts or installed on engines subsequently overhauled and approved for return to service by Airpower, Inc., of Lakeport, CA.

Troy Toelle EAA Chapter Office Dear John / Chapter 445, EAA Chapter 517 will soon be entering the last month of our fund raising KitFox SWEEPSTAKES. We still have tickets and would like to enlist your help letting EAA members know of our effort. We are hoping that every EAA Chapter and affiliate could generate the purchase of at least 10 tickets by individual sales or at the bargain group purchase rate. Interestingly, so far two Chapters have purchased tickets in the name of the Chapter. I presume that if the Chapter wins the airplane they will use it as a fund raiser themselves. This KitFox could earn a lot of Chapters money, if more Chapters kept winning it. The purpose of this note is to ask you to publish the following in your March newsletter, if you would be so kind. Please also feel free to forward this e-mail to anyone on your Chapter e-mail mailing list. Thank you for your assistance. Steve Rossiter President EAA Chapter 517, Inc. P.O.
