What exactly is an "
oil pressure return line?"
You do understand that all engines utilize oil, and oil is returned to the cooler and pump in one way or another, right? You do understand that turbojets utilize the same functions and same methods, do you not?
You had an "
oil pressure return line" leak on you, did you? That must have been scaaaary. Did the pilot tell you about it, or did you figure it out for yourself?
Yes, there's only one way to have a thousand hours of piloting experience in the airplane, and that's to have flown it for a thousand hours, which I did, you dunce.
Range depends on the passenger load, but typically 3 1/2 hours to 4 hours at 370 kts, before accounting for wind.
Oil leaks don't occur in turbojet equipment, you say? Have you ever been closer to an airplane than your microsoft flight simulator? Certainly from your commentary it would seem not.
You're aware that turbojet engines utilize governors too, aren't you? Imagine that. Oil return lines (not oil pressure return lines...it's the oil we're interestedin returning to the resorvoir, not the pressure) too. Who'd have guessed?
Certainly not YOU!!
...having personaly had a return line leak on me...required a landing...never would have happened in a jet..and in a jet you can fly higher, out climb the ice better, get over the storms, ect.
How, exactly, does climbing higher, "out climbing the ice better," and getting over storms prevent this terrifying prospect of an oil leak?
Interesting you mentioned the slowtation...we often passed them, while flying overhead...at a lower fuel consumption, a bigger and quieter cabin, and better maintenance reliabiity. Oh, the horror!
