Re: Will a modern dirt bike (yz250) fit in a 185?

I don't think you'll have much problem. I used to haul my KLX250 in my C-170. The co-pilot seat and the back seat had to come out. I took the front fork off the bike and then had to wrap a tie down strap around the back to compress the suspension so it would fit.

Re: L-188A C-GNPB heading to AirSpray

I think they always were 3 digit tanker numbers officially but just always used the last 2 numbers. Now there are more tankers flying around so to avoid mix-ups everyone was to use their 3 digit tanker number. The first number is suppose to signify the tanker type/size (L-188/CV-580/DC6 - 4XX, AT802...

Air Spray has been painting them in Red Deer. Don't think I have a pic of 487 from '95 but just for your info it was repainted in 2010.

Re: 4G Broadband interferes with GPS? Garmin says yes.

Had the same thing happen 2 nights ago going into YXD on the LPV - RNAV 12 as well. 530W & 430W both momentarily lost all signal. 530W came back just downgraded to LNAV and the 430W went to Enroute. Talked to another pilot who flew in earlier that night and said they lost INTEG momentarily with thei...

Re: BE20 Bleed air valve

The B200 has 2 bleed air valves per engine.

One Environmental and one Instrument (pneumatic).

When you gang bar, the environmental valves close and the Instrument valves will stay open (this is so that you still have air driven instruments when you gang bar.)

By looking at the schematics, this doesn't make sense. As soon as the current limiter was fixed, the Number 2 avionics worked again. Everything else worked, Number 2 Inverter, Vent Blower.

King Air B200 Current Limiter Question

Can someone tell me why you would lose your #2 Avionics when your right current limiter is blown and both generators are on.

Replace the current limiter and #2 Avionics work again.

Garmin 530/430 Question

We just got a new Garmin 530/430 package in our plane. Everything seems to be fine except that we noticed that all of our bearing's are 3-6 degrees right of what every other GPS has said. All I have been able to figure out is that the "Auto" Magnetic Variation is not the same as the CFS. I was wonde...

I just bought a new DC X11. Not as durable as the old DC's, less metal more plastic.

But if you are thinking about buying a new Bose X, the X11 is just as comfortable, has the MP3 & cell phone jacks and is $300 cheaper.

A100 Question:

Q:You turn the master on and you notice that the "Inverter out" light is not on with the inverter off. What else should you check?

A:Check to see if your surface de-ice is working after startup because they get power from the same CB.
