can a Ray Allen flap indicator sensor be used on a certified airplane? Or does it require massive paperwork?

Where is it mounted? Is it done in a way it can be removed without tools?

That's two very different questions, not one or the other. It can be physically done, but I have no idea about the paperwork.

Depends on where you are. In the US, if the certificated aircraft did not originally come with it, then you'll need an STC (or field approval) to install it, along with an A&P to do the actual work.

Airguy,
Thanks for the answer, so a field approval with the work either done or certified by a A & P IA would be my guess. The rest seems to be pretty straightforward.

You might ask Dynon if they know of anyone successfully doing this. If yes, maybe ask them to forward your contact info to the owner if they know who it is.

Since Dynon is not the manufacturer of the Ray Allen display, they may not have any details to share. You might want to contact Ray Allen directly.

Is it a standalone system that doesn't integrate into the Dynon ecosystem? I'm guessing no since the question was asked here. Dynon, Ray Allen, call em all and let them point you wherever you might need to go to get the answer.

thanks everyone, it would be standalone and not replace the existing mechanical indicator. I have been told by an IA that since this is the case, it would be just a log book entry. as it would not effect the airframe or flight characteristics.
