Hello,

A bug was found in Powercheck 206B2 v1.0 (version without the particle separator).

It has been addressed and new version v1.1 is attached: Powercheck 206B2 v1.1.xlsx.zip

Saifan,

Great little file. Well done. I have one from Standard Aero that's over 10 years old that doesn't work any more, so yours will come in very handy.

I'll start working on it tomorrow. I'm sure there will be a learning curve but I'll keep you posted.

Can you be more specific? It says it's corrupt when you download from this web site? Or when you try to run it ?

What operating system ?

What version of office?

Note the calculator requires Microsoft Office Excel 2007 or later.

Hi, thank you very much for the power check sheet you made. I was wondering if you had a version with the particle separator?

Maybe the concern should be with respect to how often power checks even get done. I know everyone here is a professional pilot, or will profess to be, but I watch the books quite closely. Take a look at your journey log book and see who in your company actually does a regular power check.

 

I recently crewed a machine that didn't have a power check entered in 9 months. In that 9 months there was two engine changes (rental and everhauled) and a fuel control change. No power check entered. Maybe none completed. Who knows???

 

I question my crew changes about why they didn't do a power check during their entire tour. The answer I really love hearing is, "umm, well like, umm actually umm.... well....yeah....umm............I did". Oh yeah, so where is it? Why isn't it entered in the journey log? What good is it if it's not doccumented? Truth is you didn't do one dumb a**!!!

I saw a lot of crazy comments on here that I really felt like commenting on but this one was the only one that was constructive and factual.

Speaking only on the aircraft I am endorsed on, and that these spreadsheets cover - power checks are for trending and a failed power check is not a groundable item.  If your aircraft is failing powerchecks and you need a chart to tell you, then there probably a bigger problem.

Seriously though, the real problem is professional pilots not doing power checks on a regular basis and not how a pilot plots the power check.
