MESC or FESC.......?

FESC... original, typing error.

As to possible oil problems with -22B powered aircraft....
To some it appeared that after long storage, the -22B engine consumed quite a lot of oil on the first few flights.
This was seldom the case, however, it was normally found that the actual oil quantity after landing was quite normal, considering the stage length...as the quantity indication was many times faulty.
Often times it would indicate properly just after landing.

The FMS units ( by Ham Standard ) were program for individual operators and to re-prrogram cost an Arm and both legs !

Some operators programed in-house at considerable savings.

there was a mod ( That Air Atlanta did ) to go back to VG/DG but added GPS.

Yes, and that in the beginning didn't work properly, until two senior FD crew actually RTFB, and showed 'em how to fix it properly...
