Nova212

I guess because it is an IFR FM that it is stating that all listed equipment needs to be serviceable.. Check out. BHT - 212 - FMS - Sect-1 1-3 this is where the confusion comes in for me.. The MEL states that it can be dispatched without 0 equipment. But is that VFR or IFR.. Is there anywhere else that might list the required equipment for an IFR 212..

I would like to know if anyone can tell me if a Bell 212 has a inoperative AFCS/SCAS is it still approved for IFR ? A lot of gray area on this one ( MEL and FM )

Just wanted to share a bit about my Jet fuel in a automobile story. I've always been a diesel fan and when I got into Aviation was thrilled at the "waste" fuel available to burn in my Jetta. I was advised to put Howes fuel conditioner along with the Jet Fuel, and I did. I went the entire summer without buying fuel. I've since moved on from that wonderful car. Most recently I picked up another turbo diesel Jetta and began to run it on Jet A. With good intention I bought fuel conditioner but never put any in. The fuel pump only lasted a 1000 km on straight Jet fuel. Based on my experience I would suggest Howes fuel conditioner with Jet fuel in a diesel every time. Thanks everyone for your posts..

Hey all 212 engineers. Looking for some help with an electrical snag. Have a machine that has a persistent No #1 Gen that wont come online. Replaced the DC control box and it comes online for awhile then blows the DC control box. Not sure where to start. Please help. Thanks
