How Much.... for That Little Light Bulb?

How the FAA Tests and Approves Components

Speaker:     Gerry Vaerewyck

Ever wonder why your airplane light bulb costs 5 times as much as a car light bulb, or why the Pilot Operating Handbook (POH) says "reset the circuit breaker only ONCE"? Come to this interesting seminar and we'll explore how the FAA tests and approves components, and how manufacturers use the test results when writing operating procedures. We'll discuss the POH and how most emergency procedures are linked directly to tests that had to be passed for approval for your safety.
