Call Al 'eh,,, sorry, I want the truth, or something closer to it.

well pprune is not really much help then is it?

ATSB report
 

VH-XXX When you describe an independent engineering inspection of the engines you are of course talking about an engineer who was hired by the operator to do the inspections, as opposed to the ATSB who are answerable to no one. I think you better look up the term independent in the dictionary because I think you have the word confused with purchased.

Thanks BS, I always take my advice from he who has only 2 posts. Your initials equal your on-line credibility.

You must regard your "post count" status quite highly VH-XXX. Not the first time I have read such a comment from you towards someone with a low number of posts either. Strange... :confused:

XXX - Have to agree, you post too much.

That's because people who like to stir up trouble always seem to go to the effort of registering a new username specifically for the purpose so we don't know who they are and can't link them to their previous posts, then we never hear from them again once the thread dies down.

A good example of this would be a recent thread started about "which flying school should I go to to learn to fly in city X" which I was later told was just bait to see what people will say about it, thus wasting the precious time of those that care enough to respond.

A high post count is no indication of credibility on here, however those with <5 or whatever posting definitively on situations/issues they know nothing about nor the people involved does arouse the suspicions of others.

hmmm well said. Fair enough.

Ah, its all about post count. I have heaps of posts, and I'm a Jedi, so therefore I am a guru. :E
Wally. I'm not going to bite.......... you know I wanna though. :}
GG. same goes for you... and I still hate the screaming Garret. ;)

......that's okay 'Wiz' feel free to 'bite', getting boring round here anyway, Mods must be asleep at the helm:}
I've been accused by the Mods in the past for posting too many times, you can't win when they hold the big stick!:}


Wmk2:)

Sorry to continue the thread drift - but it doesnt seem to be going anywhere anyway............


Vh-XXX - I agree with what Blinkensloppen said - and I've a few more posts that him/her - and some direct knowkledge of the matter.

Which court case - hull or liablility? In any event both were settled "out of court"....FYI.

Well the pilot concerned and his passengers are more likely to be doing the "haunting" now arent they?????

Di :yuk:

Understood D, but it comes down to professional integrity. Opinions can be bought, but not from just anyone. I'll let this one rest because it's probably best not to name names in this instance without hard facts and it's not relevant to the pt6 thread anyway.

C'mon wiz, you don't see to many garretts shutting down do you? :ok:

They may be noisy, but they certainly are reliable!

I wish there was one that would shut down - Peter.

GG saidYou be kidding right? :}

seen more than a few that wouldnt start. gotta love that full auto start system that eats itself and the chipset on a regular basis. :)
Probably the quietest thing about them............ until the pilot starts shouting.

Wiz

You telling me that there is a 'chipset' controlling manual engaging of speed switches as well?

j3

Never had an SRL computer let go on me yet. Garretts like to have a bit of spare power in the battery's to kick them over (not unlike any other turbine I might add)

Hot starts, cold starts, quick turn arounds never had or seen a problem :cool:

NWS - thats a different story :ugh:

331's biggest drama is on start, get that prestart temp down and give it just enough juice and they're fine. :ok: Only problems overall that I've seen was gens, NTS etc. Operationally the engines just keep going.

Hasn't any body heard of Garrets "Blowing up", wearing prematurely, gearbox's grenading?
