Hi, just posted a story in the Instruments/Avionics topic and cant seem to be able to delete it. Can you delete it for me or tell me how? thanks

Gen 3. New Breaker on the way.

I know exactly how you felt!

Thanks Glen I started up, turned on the Avionics Master and after 5 mins of taxiiing at low RPM, stopped and noticed the blank avionics data before running up and doing pre take off checks. Shut down and then noticed the popped breaker. Re set it, started up again, and all normal after that.

Thanks Skippy, its a 10amp thing. Will get a new breaker anyway in case it happens again

Just to clarify, only items connected to the Avionics Bus, is MGL CHT/EGT gauge, fuel scanner, 1 Radio, Transponder.

Hi all Shortly after start up, the Avionics Circuit Breaker on my 9 yo Jabiru popped for the first time ever, I lost all my electrics. Pressed it back in, and everything returned to normal, short flight with no issues. I did not have any extra load on at start up, and I always switch on the Avionics Master with engine running. Apart from a faulty Circuit Breaker, any thoughts on what may have caused the breaker to pop? Thanks

No

Thanks Jim, that about sums it up. I appreciate you taking the time to make a considered, accurate truthful summary. FLIGHTRITE, what is the significance of the funny faces you post after many of the postings, including this one?

Yes they have been very receptive to all my queries over the years as well

Yes, a Report to RAA.

Well said, and if the engine is maintained as per Manuf specs, they are pretty much trouble free!

Its 37degC according to the Handbook

What proof do you have that it was an engine FAILURE! The engine may have been operating normally but the ambient weather, weight, density height and Wind may gave degraded the performance and affected the climb profile. How about waiting for the investigation results before saying, just another Jab engine failure!

My point was….. Temp about 40deg Density Alt about 3000ft 2POB Fuel load ? Wind? Just maybe the engine was performing perfectly but the ambient conditions were unsuitable for the takeoff. Unreasonable to infer that Jab engines are unsafe. Cant accept your argument sorry

You dont seem to have digested the content of my earlier post….. Please read it before making irresponsible statements

Have a read of my earlier post, and you may reconsider your remarks.

Doesnt take them too long Col

Yes 2 POB and temp around 40deg. If they had heavy fuel load would be a struggle to climb. Jabiru mandate ops at max 37deg.

High density housing and Factories right on the boundaries of Bankstown. Trees surrounding Wedderburn. Are you implying that ops at Bankstown are dangerous? Sorry, I still cannot understand your point.

Why are you critiscising Wedderburn? Bankstown is a short distance away and is heavily built up right around it. I dont understand your reasoning. Bankstown is a training Airport and has been for many years.

Much the same as Raa. If your aircraft is used privately and you want to do Maint above LINE MAINT then you have to do an online course and if sucessful, you get an L1 qual which entitles you to sign off work on your aircraft

Sorry you mean no annual FEE!?

No Annual Inspection??

Have a chat to Kody at Jabiru if you want clarification
