    Kevin, of RG Aero at pompano Beach is amazing! Glad he got your 540 fixed. I put an IFD 550 in my 1947 v tail bonanza. Found it as an avionics shops demo, 1 year old, 4 year factory warranty for $11,500😳. About half price! You’ll love the 540👍🏻

    It's nice to see you donate a 310 to an A&P school. I had the chance to work on one while I was in school, which taught me how to address electrical problems in an upside-down position, using a mirror held in my teeth. I spent many hours inverted in fixed-wing aircraft for inspections and repairs. These days, I work on helicopters, so those acrobatics aren't as common. Nevertheless, seeing him go inverted in the seat brings back memories.

    If it was a power issue that caused it might think of more sensitive breaker for fluxuations. Some of these newer electronics has a safe feature. An interrupt causes it to shut down permentently. Remove electric power for about 15 secends then plug it back in to restore operations.

    Hi Jimmy, I didn't go through all the comments down below, but there appears to be a bit of a right side wheel wobble on the Silver bullet. I don't know if it's an issue, but you can see it wobbling at the 4:00 minute mark in this video. The left side looks to be OK. Love all your videos, and cheers to you, from Steve.

    @timothyharrison8953 Год назад +1

    Unexpected systems failure...never happens in aviation. Totally reliable. Last the lifetime of the aircraft...guaranteed! Two days ago I worked a pressurization fault, we did all the required troubleshooting and found nothing in error. One of the other techs felt the outflow valve was moving eratacally, I couldn't see it and I'm taller and had a better view on the exit side and the aircraft's BIT system didn't see it. So we ordered a replacement valve and installed it. I feel the pain of your tech replacing the component in the 310. Like any well engineered LRU, to get to the valve you need to be two feet tall and twelve inches wide. Tested exactly the same, now we have to wait for ops to fly and buy off on the fix.

    @InMyBrz Год назад

    Is it possible one of your new alternators put out too much voltage due to a bad regulator and FRIED the GPS ? Certainly on take off your engine rpm's are the highest. If you set it too high, it will over voltage. I would think setting it to 13.8 vdc with a load like landing lights on would work
    IF not, it will happen again
