Wow did I hit a nerve with you FCP!

Never flew a Malibu or a Navajo, so sorry buddy your outta luck getting me to explain them!

Yeah I'm a bit of a wise guy, like pulling the piss but wow. Did I get a nerve!


Ok to be serious. How were things done before full engine monitoring on pistons? I never had monitoring on pistons and ran them as per the AFM. Is there something wrong with what is published in AFMs and all this APS stuff knows better?

I'm not debating that with new technology that there aren't benefits. I just wanted to debate the aspect of "what do you do if you don't have fancy gear?" and also point out that turbines aren't as basic as the original comparison was made. Obviously that point was lost on you. Thank you for having a jab at me rather than answering my questions!


And back to not being serious.
Having ones head up their arse (that's correct, arse, not ass) is good. Don't see the rest of the crap in the world
