AG5B

2023-01-12T23:18:33Z

Jabley: I sold my Tiger. I am sad.

The AG5B was manufactured from 1990 to 1993 by American General Aircraft company in Greenville, MS, and starting in 2001 by Tiger Aircraft in Martinsburg, West Virginia. It was marketed as the Tiger.

The [https://iacra.faa.gov/iacra/AircraftSearch.aspx IACRA] codes for the Tiger are GA-AA-5B and GA-AG-5B.

Jabley:

Why is it AA-1A, AA-5B, etc. and yet its AG5B?

They are all listed on the Type Certificate with a dash in the model.

The only time there is no dash between the letters and number is in the serial number.

Then the convention is AA1-0001 or AG5B-10001. --Bob Steward

It's my fault. When I began editing the AYA ''Star'' in 1995, I observed that the convention there seemed to be no dash, and I've continued that for all this time. I wanted to be consistent, and anyway, it looks better in print. I realize some of the official documents use the dash. --sbw

Sorry if I stamped on some prior decision by eliminating the top (non-title) row in the second table -- it just looked like a duplicate of the heading row to me. Might it not be reasonable to replace the title row with the text below it if that text is preferred? -jabley

The purpose of the second line is to encourage people to fill in their information. But I'm open to suggestions for how to do that better. - sbw

I'm slightly confused as to how the second line would encourage anything other than removing it because it duplicates the line above, but I'm new here so I will be quiet now :-) -jabley

A citizen of the Commonwealth, Joe has variously lived in New Zealand and the UK and currently finds himself inexplicably in [[http://www.london.ca/Pages/default.aspx small-town Canada]], a strange outcome that he hopes one day to remedy. Joe owns and flies AG-5B C-FBLY out of [[http://www.flylondon.ca CYXU]]. The flying in that part of the world is at least very good.

[[File:C-FBLY-drawing.png|thumbnail]]

C-FBLY is a 1992 Grumman Tiger that was originally imported to Canada from the US by Roger Nickel in Kamloops, BC. The distinctive paint job is all his, as is the meticulous attention to detail in the aircraft's documentation and general state of health. Joe bought C-FBLY from Roger in January 2017 and flew it back across the country to Ontario in two days of mysteriously compliant weather with Andrew Barr, who at that time was a flight instructor at the [[http://www.learntofly.on.ca St Thomas Flight Centre]] at [[http://stthomas.ca/content/airport-st-thomas-municipal CYQS]]. Andrew has since disappeared off to Manitoba to fly for a northern airline.

C-FBLY spent the end of 2017 having her panel completely replaced using exciting modern components that are constructed apparently completely out of money. At the time of writing (January 2018) that financial adventure is coming to an end, and flight testing is expected to start any week now. Once the haemorrhage of money has stopped, she should be thoroughly modernised with [[https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/p/570665 twin Garmin G5s]], a [[https://www.jpinstruments.com/shop/edm-900-2/ JPI EDM900 primary engine instrument]], [[http://www.avidyne.com/products/ifd/index.html Avidyne IFD550/440 stack]] with matching [[http://www.avidyne.com/products/amx240/index.html AMX240 audio panel]] and [[http://www.avidyne.com/products/axp322/index.html AXP322 remote transponder]], [[https://www.guardianavionics.com/smartplane-smart650-panel-flight-data-recorder-co-detector-usb-power-supply Guardian Avionics smartLink 650 Flight Data Recorder]], [[http://www.spidertracks.com Spidertracks Spider 6]], and no doubt other things that I would remember if I dared look at the invoices.

For my next trick I shall complete my Instrument Rating and Commercial Pilots Licence, which together will make the amount of money I just spent on the panel look very slightly less ridiculous.
