Sid,
I believe if you mix liquid and air in a sealed container, then the air will come out of the liquid quicker than in an open container. Reason being is the sealed container will create a partial vacuum above the surface of the liquid, helping to suck the air bubbles back out. |
Good work SS - the pprune R&D dept is on top form !
underfunded maybe? perhaps sponsorship from Tesco is in order? (JetA1: FSII not neccessarily, although i think shell used to include it as standard) Whilst the R&D Dept is in full swing perhaps you could look into the variability of Electro Static properties wrt capacitative fuel probes? and Temperature Probes for Low Fuel warning - can it be fooled under some temperature conditions? So many complications to assess ! Keep up the good work. (and SS cut the "really" (haha) jibe eh?) |

Therefore my test proves AnFI's theory, and your loyal support of it, to be flawed :ok: |

jibe? "used to" - as in don't anymore, something wrong with that answer?
btw when is 'no-go cold' now without FSII? -40C at alt? or subzeroC fuel temp? Glad we can rule out that cause then. Pls let us know when the R&D dept can rule out those other two possible issues. (and do you intend to publish a paper on the anti foaming qualities of milk additive :} :confused:) There's an answer in here somewhere and the wild speculation dept (PPRUNE) should be able to stumble accross the answer before the AAIB, shirley? Pulled wrong FCL? LASER blinded? Medical (Heart Attack)? (talking about Glasgow but on this thread for some odd reason:confused::confused::confused:) |
AnFI :suspect:
Remaining on the 135 theme, you still haven't told us your experience on the 135, however there's probably no need to now, as with comments such as; There's an answer in here somewhere and the wild speculation dept (PPRUNE) should be able to stumble accross the answer before the AAIB, shirley? Pulled wrong FCL? LASER blinded? Medical (Heart Attack)? btw when is 'no-go cold' now without FSII? -40C at alt? or subzeroC fuel temp? At fuel temp range -30 down to -35 an anti-icing additive is required. :ok: |
I have more ground school on 135 fuel systems now than anyone doing a type rating. I feel confident that I have a 75% chance of passing the one(?) multi choice question on fuel systems for this type contained in the exam.
This I feel would easily equip a pilot with the ability to analyse clearly the thousands of lines of detail contained herein. What's the point? It's all fine as long as there's enough fuel and everything working correctly.:rolleyes: If you can turn off the wrong transfer pump it will happen, afterall it's only 50-50 between answer c and answer d How are the other experiments coming along? |
AnFI :suspect:
The thing you've missed about the thousands of posts about the fuel system is that despite being told very clearly how it works from very early on, others, just like yourself, have brought their own version of the system onto the thread. If you were doing a type rating, you would be told the information contained within that one post, and all the others would be ignored. Now, is that simple enough for you? "If you can turn off the wrong transfer pump it will happen," ..and if you do turn off the wrong transfer pump, the system, after telling you which one to turn off in the first place, will tell you that you have turned off the wrong one! Besides, a pilot turning off the wrong pump, isn't a fault within the fuel system now is it! Is that simple enough for you? How are the other experiments coming along? http://www.furrytalk.com/wp-content/.../2012/02/1.gif |
Ah, the pilot and the dog ... The dog stops the pilot touching the (wrong) pump?
I'd enjoy a picture of the flying milk float too. |
2. I now have a very clean 2.27l ex-milk container. |
Brought across from the Glasgow thread:
Come on Sid, I'm sure that you know the PFD triangle has nothing to do with balance? Cheers TeeS Mmm, it goes away when I 'step on it', I get reminded about it on OPC's and it does feel nicer when it's not on the screen. You're not confusing it with the track triangle on the ND are you TeeS? The triangle is letting you know that the yaw SEMA(s) are running out of authority. If this was to have happened in pitch or roll, this signal would go, via the autopilot, to the trim motors attached to the cyclic - the cyclic then moves allowing the actuators to reposition towards a more central position. Since the yaw pedals don't have trim motors, you take the place of them. So, assuming the yaw SEMA finds itself towards the limit of applying right pedal, the triangle will appear to the right so, you apply right pedal - as you apply the right pedal, the SEMA can wind back towards the centre of its range; however, there has been no actual input to the fenestron. This is why you can often get the triangle asking for right pedal and the ball asking for left pedal. I usually clear the triangle first and then the ball, mainly because I usually fly out of balance anyway :-) Cheers TeeS |
Thought so, but I like things simple :\
|
"Since the yaw pedals don't have trim motors, you take the place of them."
Great to know the pilot is trusted with something! |
That would be a Bo105 Sid, happy days :-)
|
Right, I'm getting the red string fitted, blow the cost!
:ouch: |
How crass.....Mauve looks much better!
|
Lol,
I looked up what mauve should be and found; "Mauve is more grey and more blue than a pale tint of magenta would be." Then I found; "Magenta is not found in the visible spectrum of light. Rather, it is physiologically and psychologically perceived as the mixture of red and blue light, with the absence of green." So in a nutshell, the 135 already has or might have a Mauve-ish bit of string fitted, just that we can't see it :confused: |
20th Anniversary of first flight
I do recall it was the 20th Anniversary of the EC135 the other day? Don't think it was on Valentines Day lol but the day after?
Anyone celebrated it? Any special color scheme by Airbus Helicopters? Cheers |
EC135 Drivers
Hi Any EC135 drivers in southern UK who might be able to answer a few questions please PM me Thanks in advance
|
I have a question .... When do we stop the clock?
