FAA Approval

The EasyEdge light does not require An FAA "337" field approval in most FAA districts  

The EasyEdge light is considered to be just a bulb replacement in most FAA District offices. The EasyEdge Light requires just a logbook entry by an A&P mechanic or IA in most FAA districts in the U.S. Download the EasyEdge Notes below to provide your A&P or IA with all the info they need to facilitate approval. Please call us if you have questions.

If you fly your Grumman AA Series aircraft at night, you know that the original instrument panel lighting leaves a lot to be desired. The Fresh Aero EasyEdge Light is one of our latest Grumman lighting innovations and the excellent way to augment the panel lights on your AA-5.

The existing side panel lights on the Grumman AA-5 series aircraft don’t provide much light to the lower instrument panel on the right and left sides. The incandescent bulbs don’t have reflectors and the red lens absorbs most of the radiated light.

The EasyEdge Lights solves this issue by bathing lower instrument panel with direct red, blue, green or white LED light.

Just remove the side panel on your Grumman, remove the single existing screw that secures the incandescent bulb socket and use this screw to mount the EasyEdge Light to the exterior of the panel. Than remove the existing incandescent bulb and plug the EasyEdge adaptor plug into the socket. Remount the panel and you’re done.

You can also purchase the EasyEdge Light with an integrated dimming control to “fine tune” the brightness level. This does require drilling a small ¼ inch hole in the upper panel to mount the dimmer (please see the photos in adjacent columns).

The EasyEdge Light consists of a textured ABS plastic hooded bracket with with a 6 LED light strip and 14 inch wire leads and plug-in adaptor attached.
