Area-51

Bose A20; everything sounds awesome! 😀

Check out Speedflow or Morosso catalogues for off the shelf AN manifold blocks; might be something in T6 ready to bolt up

😀😀👏👏👏

I don't understand why anyone is even debating this subject. The engines are cheap with unknown reliability. So just buy and install two 🤷🏼‍♂️

So today during a check flight the AvTraffic OzRunways solution was given another run. For now it is an immediate stop gap solution, and fully agree, it is not able to supersede or replace the accuracy of realtime ADSB live signal observation equipment, or Visual when proficiently scanning the circuit in VFR. The OzRunways screen was showing a Jetstar RPT on departure climb and there was visual on the aircraft tracking perpendicular also; so it was a good opportunity to observe actual Latency. The Jetstar RPT was also displaying both an AvTraffic ADSB and OzRunways bubble simultaneously. The observed positional Latency was about 10 seconds. Eventually the AvTraffic solution will be replaced by a Uavionix Ping or similar real time ADSB-IN solution.

Correct, a pilot in command always needs to continue using the primary flight instrument of the "windscreen" to maintain visual awareness around the aircraft at all times. The other query regarding lack of "time stamp" on OzRunways traffic, again, from the app Developers of both AvTraffic and OzRunways, its a few seconds. After watching a Youtube video of a fatal WX in the US due to Latency of a few minutes at the user end it prompted me to ask both app developers what their latency was for Traffic. OzRunways had that data published already, AvTraffic updated their FAQ immediately upon presentation of my question being asked. Onscreen Traffic is a great tool if used affectively within its limitations. It allows a pilot to see approaching aircraft at a radius between 1-80nm. For the type of flying I do 8nm works well and provides ample time to divert and monitor. I do no use it in the circuit.

After one more recent near miss have upgraded the situational awareness by taking out a paid subscription with AvTraffic ADSB in, which now allows that data to be overlaid onto OzRunways' screen (so no longer need to switch between apps and miss critical information); and its paid dividends. The first flight afterward saw almost the exact same scenario with the very same other aircraft, however this time was able to see the situation unfolding well in advance, so simply turned away. A second dedicated wifi slave screen for AvTraffic will be installed to add additional layer of situational proximity visual and audio warning cues. Cockpit workload has been reduced. The positional receive/transmit latency on both app servers is a few seconds, and works great providing there is cellular signal reception.

👏👏👏👏 yippydooo, join the club

Looks like the SR23 will be arriving some time around spring. How did the following aircraft on final for touch n go not see there was an aircraft already on the runway?

🤔

Everybody is correct on this occasion; but we can still throw mud around the cage because its fun. Heavy Maintenance Section 72-00-00, page 39-54 Line Maintenance Section 05-50-00, page 2-10 (propeller strike) Line Maintenance Section 05-50-00, page 15-17 (overload clutch) Line Maintenance Section 12-20-00, page 60-61 (propeller gearbox) The Dog coupling is there to absorb rotational pulsation; it is provided cone springs to provide a set preload upon the two Dog halves returning the Dog back to central position when the pulsation ends; these Dog teeth are allowed a max limitation of 30deg free rotation at a specified torsional breakaway load. The clatter often heard in a 912 at idle and shut down is from the Dog lugs clashing back and forth due to loss of preload at the cone springs as the Dog ages. They will clatter away until the cows come home and a new Dog installed. The Slipper Clutch is there to absorb sudden extreme torsional loads experienced from propeller strike or kickback when the sprag clutch is damaged. Cone springs are again used within the Slipper Clutch assembly to provide a specified breakaway preload and 360 deg of free rotation at the propeller with the crankshaft locked. Loss of preload can result in partial or in extreme failure total loss of thrust.

Extremely disappointed to hear this from such experience when house bricks are always closer at hand 😞

Just peel label off old prop and stick it on new prop 🤷🏼‍♂️

A 10lb mallet 🤷🏼‍♂️

Most bodies of dead climbers are left frozen on Everest. There appears to be a certain death connection between aviators that go deep diving in the opposite direction?

When you have nerves of steel Carrillo rods and enough horsepower and really good brakes and tyres you can drive all over the place at WOT; what are you talking about? 🤷🏼‍♂️

The engine stopped; Aaaaaaaghhhhh..... we're all gona die!!!!!!! 😱😱😱😱 😂😂😂

Ah it is a swashplate engine 😊

Hillman Imps will forever rule the world 🦹‍♂️

All engines will have fiddy diddy characteristics. Something that has stuck with me since the first day it was imparted when asking an old swapper; "which machine gives the least problems". Answer: "Any machine is only ever as reliable as the person maintaining it"

Super Capacitor emergency jump starters are safer, and recharge to full capacity in a few seconds. They weigh about same as lithium cell units but are much larger.

All 9XX series Rotax power units require 500rpm minimum to excite the CDI ignition into operation; below 500rpm the ignition system does not operate. So it is totally possible to hand start these units if you know how.

If this youtube video was used to arrive at the above conclusion all that can be said is "that is not correct, and possibly grossly insufficient" . This was excruciatingly painful to watch (got about 30sec in before looking for the nearest exit), and not sure why it's been posted because neither individual being spoken about is dead yet and are still both very able to speak for themselves. This presenter is about as engaging as a, umm, sorry no word is currently presenting itself for me, sorry; just not engaging. Better to just read the books (which are full of footnotes and published data sources, so very difficult to pigeon hole into the Conspiracy Fiction section of the bookshop) or listen to first person interviews for oneself before incorrectly dismissing either writer off as a nutcase doomsday prepper (Ehret himself openly admits to not being a prepper and would fail that test hopelessly). Non of their interviews will be found on youtube so don't waste time searching. Anyone interested will find plenty free content backed up by complete reasoning on "Soundcloud". Actually, to bring the post back into focus, Cynthia Chung's latest interview talks a great deal about Electric Cars. So please go have a listen if one chooses and help keep the post focused on electric cars and the impact their existence is making upon the environment. I think that's what the ball being kicked about here is? EV Waste & Impact?
