Off Topic - Need a Blank Dataplate

Hi guys,

Sorry this is off-topic, but a friend of mine is restoring a C-140 and his dataplate is pretty munged-up. Anybody got a source for a spare, blank one?

yes you are correct - I was thinking blank data plate for homebuilt. I can attest to Cessna, err, ahh, reaming you for things like that. They wanted a couple hundred bucks for a printed paper documentation for my 195.

You can get a generic data plate from Aircraft spruce, but you will not be able to use it on a certified plane, you must have the original or a replacment from the A/C manufacturer.

Here is the FAR
45.13 Identification data
(b) Except as provided in paragraph (d)(1) of this section, no person may remove, change, or place identification information required by paragraph (a) of this section, on any aircraft, aircraft engine, propeller, propeller blade, or propeller hub, without the approval of the Administrator.

(c) Except as provided in paragraph (d)(2) of this section, no person may remove or install any identification plate required by §45.11 of this part, without the approval of the Administrator.

(d) Persons performing work under the provisions of Part 43 of this chapter may, in accordance with methods, techniques, and practices acceptable to the Administrator—

(1) Remove, change, or place the identification information required by paragraph (a) of this section on any aircraft, aircraft engine, propeller, propeller blade, or propeller hub; or

(2) Remove an identification plate required by §45.11 when necessary during maintenance operations.

(e) No person may install an identification plate removed in accordance with paragraph (d)(2) of this section on any aircraft, aircraft engine, propeller, propeller blade, or propeller hub other than the one from which it was removed.
