    avmap repairs or replacement

    in Instruments, Radios and Electronics

    Posted

    G'day Lyle, that "toggle" is a mini "joystick" and I think the Avmap people would be the only source for replacement. I've had no probs dealing with them in past , but spare parts ....hmmmm!

    If you end up replacing with something else I'd be interested in the panel mount dock or I can do a deal on mine as a replacement unit .😝

    CASA Medical Policy Survey

    Generally the evidence points to the whole medical assessment process providing minimal value from a safety perspective. This include both the commercial and private flight environments. There have been no RPT crashes relating to pilot incapacitation due to a physiological condition. To put this is context a significantly greater loss of life has occurred due to mental illness however the industry doesn't focus on this aspect of safety and relies on "self disclosure" as the primary means of diagnosis.

    The expense associated with controlling this perceived risk has been enormous over the life of the industry and there is demonstrable evidence that removal of the control makes no difference to outcomes.

    While engagement with stakeholders in many instances makes sense in this case there's zero value in the process. The only segment of the community which is impacted is the business which has built up around this folly.

    The thing about hydrogen, for cars anyway, is that it doesn't make sense.  You use a lot of electric power to produce it - so why not just use electricity?  It's an added layer of complication and power wastage.

    Too logical for most in charge to comprehend ,Marty..

    I wonder, if it ever comes to pass , where does this hydrogen come from ?? oh that's right ......water . Another FINITE resource !!

    K-Max

    I love helicopters and have flown in all sorts from the Hughes 269 to the Sikorsky S-61N which flew the Brampton Island service, but I don't know about the intermeshing rotors of the K-Max. I know they are very successful, but there's just something about them.

     

    Is it a double-head chopper OR a double head-chopper?:yikes:

    Prop Farmer your farm-splaining did it for me. Thanks, I'll try 

     

    You could also put a resistor from the poitive bus to power the lamp with the switch wired across the lamp so when the pressure switch closes the lamp is shorted directing current through the resistor.......if it's an Led then only few mills would be needed, adjust the resistor value to suit.

    I would suggest talking to the bods at Gawler , ( ASC , AdelaideSoaringClub). CFI for LSA was Karl Faith , I was a member till some time ago . The great advantage of the club membership is that your training is wet hire of club aircraft . Instruction is included with club membership . A good crowd of top class volunteers.
