You still not told us all what aviation qualifications you have or how many days this year you spent in a maintenance shop.
He improved aircraft availability by 60%, surprise attacks on submarines by 30% and submarine kill rates by 700%. God knows how much money he saved the military from wasting.
His name was Conrad Waddington. Look up his story. It's very enlightening.
I have a dream............ LAMEs and CASA will come together and produce data based maintence.
Currently most LAMEs know half the stuff they do is BS but don't change anything because by law they can't and CASA won't change anything because ????????? (Someone help out here)

Yes a lot of stuff we have to do is BS. I've stated that before. Like I have to put down IAW c421mm 32-10-05. That's bs. Not going to help anything. There is a lot of bs but then there is a lot that isn't.
Dose it matter. Yes it dose. I don't tell a heart surgeon how to do his job. But people think they can do ours. I loved to get some off you and put you in the hot seat when the px on. Have 4 different aircraft in the one day with different problems.
It's easy to be an expert at one subject. How ever we don't just do one thing. We don't sit down and have a chance to look at super dooper gauge with all the bells and whistles in fact 99.9% of aircraft don't even have them.
To have someone that thinks he would know more about trouble shooting an aircraft engine problem that has no aviation qualifications just shows the contempt he has. No wonder there are no lames. But hey you all can do it it's easy.

Steve, answer half the straight questions I have asked you in the last year, and then start asking me about who is qualified for what.
I have already told you…..primary school and not yet finished, but that does not change the facts of the discussions.
You have argued black was white with highly qualified folk on here (you are just naive as to who they are and how well qualified they are) so it really matters not whether I passed or failed finger painting or not. Whether I studied engineering or not, whether I am a qualified pilot or not, or what ratings I may or may not hold.
You have argued wrongly on so many topics with far better qualified people than me on so many topics….I must say that my education and industry experience and any university papers are actually irrelevant and worthless.
I actually want to meet you, because up until now the smartest guy I have ever known is George W Braly and I can assure you I know rocket scientists and industry leading engineers. So you will no doubt trump them all.
So please, answer the god damned questions and quit the BS. My questions or Hempys, Creamies, Rutan's or anyone else's are worthy of the same level of respect regardless of our maintenance licences or anything else.
That is a complete lie, I have no cape and no intention of getting one, but I do claim to be educating against the misinformation and the incorrect teaching not only in your text books but mine.
And yes I do have the data o prove it. So do many here.
Go back a page or two and answer some intelligent questions, otherwise we might start asking you about your qualifications (not that they matter) it is the quality of the response that matters.

We'll Jaba you proclaim to be the super hero here you quite often told me how my training is inadequate and my text books are all wrong.

You should have been a politician.
I don't claim to be a dr a rocket player a cane toad hunter. What I am is an lame that is not a sheep that has a mind and qualifications that allow me to pre form maintenance on aircraft in aust and o/s. I work day in day out and that's all I do. I don't have a visit today and a chat.
I don't have a uni degree nor do I need one. You may have some theory but that dosnt make you an engineer. If you think it's so easy why don't you and why have you not become an lame

yr right.
In all the posts I've seen you make, you've spent 99% of your time telling others how bad they are, how under qualified they are, or how arrogant they are. I'm starting to ponder the same questions about you.
Whether its slagging off RAAFies in the VH-MDX thread, in any maintenance related threads, aircraft ownership threads (BK LAME Argument) or even in this one, there always seems to be one constant... and I think a lot of people are growing tired of it.

I call it as I see it. If you don't like it then please feel free to not read what I post. If they feel free to have a dig at myself I feel free to have a dig back. And if they not qualified then let them tell it is that way.

…….no……but I are won
And I run a multidisciplinary engineering company. Is that enough for you. See it makes no difference what my qualifications are.
Besides you have argued with far better qualified folk than me, so who cares.
Now could you please get back to answering the questions asked….PLEASE!!!!
If I had three days spare I would go back and copy out all the questions asked of you that you have ignored. It would make a very long list.
If you are going to participate in an intellectual discussion at least try, and stop spraying BS about what you are qualified for and what others may not be, a usually one finds out later that it matters not but rather the quality of the discussion.

You should have been a politician.
You should have been a politician.
But geez I at least answer questions and ask questions on a topic that I can be a contributor to.You should be able contribute too given your vast experience and extensive high level qualifications, yet you fail to answer the questions and dodge duck weave and deflect.
Which set of attributes sound more like a politician? Old Sir Joh had nothin on you!

Start with that one, or how about just some rational discussion on my thoughts of the SMA Vs an old gas burner http://www.pprune.org/pacific-genera...ml#post8703969

Don't hold your breath Jaba, the only answers you'll get are some ad hominims and bluster. This is generally how people with no idea tend to try and keep the illusion of 'knowledge' going when their bluff has been called. I wouldn't give him a lawnmower to service tbh, I'd probably end up with a massive bill for replacement clys
The real question that needs to be asked is, given LAMEs are so badly done by, why do you persist? If doctors and chemical engineers can turn their hands to building airworthy aeroplanes, can't disillusioned and undervalued LAMEs like yourself, yr right, use their talents in some other field...?

Oh Andy I can. And when you say build aircraft what you really mean is assemble them as a kit. Not many people actually build an aircraft.
And yes I can go and do other things however I choose not to. And your self that dosnt know basic gas and actually dose not know how a turbo works.
I'm actually good at my job btw

Groundhog Day
Haven't posted in many months and I return to find yr wrong spouting the same drivel. No wonder this industry is f&*ked when you look at the idiots who populate it. The RV8 is coming together and rest assured it wont be powered by a diesel. Bye bye certified aircraft forever cant wait to check out! Yr Wrong you wouldn't have the skill or patience to build an aircraft from scratch anyway, kits have revolutionised home building so much so that people are refusing to cop the bull**** of certified aircraft and are building there own, its cheaper in the long run.

Andy most LAMES have wised up and are leaving, hence the ever increasing average age, working furiously on getting out myself.

The skill not to make an aircraft from paper hey. Who says I haven't already. Who says I haven't been involved with one now. Good for you. I can assure you I have the skills to spare. But go a head assemble your kit but don't say you built it because you haven't.
You must have a real bad self-esteem problem, yr right. Anyone who denigrates the builders of kit aircraft either hasn't built one to know the effort it takes, or suffers from chronic sour grapes.
Oh, and in between rivets on my RV-8, I machined a radial flow compressor impeller for a friend's gas turbine project. Fortunately I didn't have to have CASA to tell me I was competent enough to do it. I just taught myself how it's done and went ahead and did it! Not that I'd call myself a machinist by any stretch.

Why I feel compelled to chirp in I'll never know.
Yr.right (here goes) for what its worth,
You may be a very good engineer, but no matter how accomplished a
Technician you are, unless you become more articulate, and less
Defensive, no one is going to take you seriously.
Why do I care?
Because it is the completely unrelated responses and reactions found in threads
Such as this, that pilots and flying enthusiests remember above all else.
Trust me, I have seen first hand how vocal individuals, through emotive
And inflammetory responses have helped pursuade the demise of a facility and the
Loss of hundreds of jobs, along with the perception that we were all obstructionists.
What these few individuals were saying may have been right, but by putting it across
In a confrontational way won few friends.
I get the feeling there is a growing perception lame's are one of the problems in GA.
And this does nothing to kurb that perception.
Im guessing neither you, or i have worked on diesels in aircraft, I look at this as I might actually Learn something. I miss the training i used to get.
None of us know everything. If you have some useful information regarding the title of the thread, I'd love to hear it. Have your own opinion about it, great, but tell me why,
One thing I have seen is the inference that a solid state Fadec control might be good, but i have changed a few ignition control modules and voltage Regs that have failed internally, so, unless its made by Honda, forget it! (They were ducati regs!)

FADEC
The FADEC modules are very robust and have a very low failure rate, to my knowledge that is,
So I wouldn't imagine that the control would cause maintenance issues, a laptop may be needed to download engine data at periodic inspections, not unlike the Bell 407 FADEC.
The engine I have interest in is the Graflight 350 currently being tested in a Cirrus, should be certified early 2016 with first 500 sold off production line.
This appears to be a ground up designed and built aviation specific CI engine, capable of running on distilate and Avtur.
I'm hoping it performs and sells

Eddie, you say low failure rate…..that is true of the FADEC itself, however the FADEC can't discriminate between real anode not.
Perspective has met and spent a few days with a man, possibly Australia's leading LAME in Diesel FADEC's, actually I reckon for sure he is THE authority on them, and he will tell you how much income his company has yielded from stupid FADEC faults. None actually within the FADEC itself.
Perspective, you should know exactly whom I refer……did you ever get to chat with him about this topic? It makes you cringe if you did.
Nite all
