Guppy your a master at writing a whole bunch, but saying little.

What is are un feathered numbers for a Conquest 1?
Does a windmilling turbine engine turn the mechanical Pump?
Is it a good thing to starve a mechanical fuel pump ran off of a windmilling turbine?
Do you have any idea what the anti-torque system is on the C425?


In any event...Guppy...in the real world you can't hit 'stop' at Fl240...put on an O2 mask, open the clamshell, climb onto the wing and find out where the oil was coming from...and as it turned out..the leak being near the governor...you know that thing the controls the angle of the prop...could have been a problem in the governor..

And you know...governors get overhauled...did you know that...it's a regular maintenance item...because if you don't ...they break...and the prop doesn't do what it's supposed to do...you know...like feather...

So maybe the next time you see oil coming from the front of a turbine nacelle...you can wonder...'should I mess with a governor that might be broken or not? hmmm..

Let me think about that.....

- Brain...oh gosh, yeah...the lost manuals...been such a long time...yeah sure....
