Blackmac Posted May 26, 2003 Report Share Posted May 26, 2003 Bruised, Now I really feel sorry for you, fying a machine wihout hydraulic. Not trying to be a smart ***, if you take a problem and do a risk assessment and find that you can live with it, as the alternative is not cost effective, you like anybody else will live with it. Bell never fixed the 204 problem for that reason. They produced a 205 which eventually became a single engine 212 and you will find 204 parts on a 212. The 204 was an anomoly. The 205,212 & 412 all support the same airframe. Cost effective. And the story goes on, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sharky Posted May 26, 2003 Report Share Posted May 26, 2003 Didn't TC force EC's hand in this AD? To make them finally do something about it? Are other countries having similar experiences with the hydraulic systems? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruised Armpit Posted May 26, 2003 Report Share Posted May 26, 2003 Blackmac, Funny, har har. CTD. I have seen pictures of those Honeywell displays. Something like 50K? Don''t they make a FADEC/tattle box for the C20 as well? (or is that somebody else) Also....let it be know that I do NOT drive a tricked out Honda Civic. That''s Flingers dream. Mrs. Shaved Armpits almost talked me into a Minivan to drive the pit-lettes around in, but I was brave and resisted. Flinger....come visit and check out my new wheels...the beer is bottled too...ready for consumption in early June! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flinger Posted May 27, 2003 Report Share Posted May 27, 2003 You hit it on the nose when you called yourself a 'Yanker.' Maybe I should have held off on that comment until I tested your beer. We'll meet and drink soon. Maybe the Sharkster could come down too. He could teach us about the notorious YYB Cougar. I hear they're fericious. ReoW! Captain Speller.

Winnie Posted June 30, 2004 Report Share Posted June 30, 2004 Know this is probably old news, but my Ops Manager wanted to know if it is possible to get the complete type rating again on the ASTAR or not (with regards to Hyd off). We have someone that may be interested in getting it, however it's no point if you can't complete it... Thanks to any replies :up: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-rex Posted June 30, 2004 Report Share Posted June 30, 2004 Winnie, You are allowed to do hydraulic off training on the Astars now, a 'full' endorsement should be no problem. Make sure the amended section on hydraulic off flight is inserted into the flight manual. Cheers, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
