I'm wondering where other Canadians have been putting the ID plates. I was planning to mount it on the side of the fuselage under the HS, but I just reviewed CAR 201.01(2) and my initial conclusion was that this location really doesn't work.
The ID plate needs to be mounted "to the structure of the aircraft in a place where it is visible to a person on the ground or to a person at the main entrance or rearmost entrance door". My next plan was to put it on the side of the fuselage, just ahead of the HS, which is sort of out of the way, but "visible to a person on the ground". But, they don't actually say that the person has to be "standing" on the ground. So, maybe my original below the HS idea actually works, as if the person is actually laying on the ground they could see it.
Has anyone who mounted the ID plate on the side of the fuselage below the HS had a problem with the inspectors?
