100ft Posted January 20, 2004 Report Share Posted January 20, 2004 Recently I had opportunity to see first hand an unrelated but nevertheless interesting maintenance issue arise on a 13000hr 206b3. Inside the console btwn the frt seats was found the wet line feeding the torque meter almost completely worn through at one point by a neighbouring wire harness. This particular machine has little in the way of unique add-ons and is fairly 'standard' in equip layout. A chance decision to re-arrange some radios led to this discovery. Is it a known problem to have these lines rupture due to external friction wear or more likely a rare phenomenon? ps- cyclic monkey i think your *** is too small Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sharky Posted January 21, 2004 Report Share Posted January 21, 2004 Looks like the donkey may be u/s; beneath it appear to be numerous 'freewheel unit chips', and therefore the donkey was taken out of service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frequent Flyer Posted January 22, 2004 Report Share Posted January 22, 2004 Gentlemen, I dont know about you but it is against company policy to leave the contols of the beast while idling.

Randy_G Posted January 22, 2004 Report Share Posted January 22, 2004 I would recommend bringing the donk down slowly from fright idle to ground idle. If brought down too quickly the donk may run away in an overspeed condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
