JPI analysed the first defective unit, and found what they described as a "suspect" component. Based on that they suggested that the installation should be OK, and sent out a third unit, first testing it extensively over a few days. Since installing the third unit I have flown about 40 hours...

People try to treat it with horse dewormer, so why not?

Ultimate twin-turbine time builder.

The retired man I bought my 182 from was apparently selling so he could concentrate on his new hobby of bull riding. I often wonder if he's still alive.

I would suggest that the chance of failure in a piston engine is many, many times higher than that of an electric motor - even if slightly more susceptible to a highly unlikely EMP, I think the net reliability change is a big positive when moving to electric.

I'm not saying you're wrong but how many huge EMPs have you encountered recently?

This looks pretty much the same as every piece of credible reporting I've seen. To say "Finally some honest reporting" you must have really been cherry-picking what you've been looking at. Nobody with an ounce of intelligence thinks we're going to be flying to Istanbul in electric airliners any...

Looks like it should sell fast. If I hadn't sunk so much money into the 182 already I'd be making an offer :D

Some of them are, for sure. And some are not. I was in the UK reserves for a couple of years before I moved abroad and I absolutely don't think I deserve any kind of reverence for it.

I find it weird how many people seem to think that being a "vet" is somehow automatically a special accomplishment. They might have been a dishonorably discharged cook on a domestic base for 2 years, it's not exactly hero stuff. Vets are just a subset of the general population with as many...

Maybe you've not been to one of these events. The speakers often also discuss closely related topics that they think will be of interest to the audience, rather than sticking religously to one narrow subject. In this case there were questions pretty early on about "well, can I do something...

Our local FAA Safety Team gave a presentation on owner-approved maintenance recently. The inspector from the FAA who was giving the presentation stated clearly that an A&P being available for consultation "by phone" (and presumably then also by video call) would meet the definition of available...

Ironic, given that the Church is probably one of the few organisations with a bigger abuse problem than the scouts.

Sounds like nonsense. Surely they'd just have them parked in strategic locations ready to go, if anything.

Sooo....the quality of worker is low because they are paid too much? An intriguing idea. You must be of the "We don't need to pay people more to improve morale, what they really need is a pizza party" school of thought. As we all know, workers perform at their best when they are struggling to...

None yet really - I was traveling the last few days and JPI have not replied to me email asking for an update. I will try and call them tomorrow. I did fly a lot over the weekend. The behaviour continued to be intermittent. On one of 6 flights, it worked perfectly. On two flights it barely...

I don't know specifics on flow volume. It does not have continuous flow - it detects when you breathe in and sends a pulse of oxygen. BeechTalk has a few good discussion threads about it.

I just bought an Inogen G5 and tried it out on a recent flight. At 17,500, on setting 4, my pulse oximeter was showing 98%. Combined with the fact that you never have to find refills, I've been very impressed.

I believe we did; the ground strap is properly installed and we have confirmed good ground continuity between engine and airframe with less than 0.5 ohm resistance between any points.

Only the OAT wires. We have checked them for correct continuity.
